The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s get straight to it: the next 16 days at Derecha de los Alemanes are a total bust for surfing. Not a single session worth paddling out for, and here’s why.
The whole stretch is the same story – a constant cross-onshore wind from the north-northeast or north, blowing 15 to 22 mph, ruining every wave. The swell is from the north and northwest, but it’s all short-period windslop, 6 to 9 seconds, so no power or shape. Water temp is a touch warmer than average at 74°, but that’s no help when the surface is lumpy and choppy.
From Thursday, July 16, right through to Friday, July 31, every forecast says “poor surf conditions.” The combined swell energy starts at a weak 104 and climbs to a strong 772 by the 26th, but it doesn’t matter – the wind is always cross-on, making it messy and unrideable. Swell height gets up to 6 ft to 6 ft by the end of the month, but with that wind and short period, it’s a washing machine. For a beginner-friendly reef break, anything over 5 ft is already too big for the less experienced, and with the wind on it, it’s no good for anyone.
No standouts. No hidden gems. The best you can say is the swell energy builds, but the wind never lets up. If you’re looking for a paddle, you’re wasting your time. This setup looks way more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing – that’s the honest truth.
Rusty.
