Right then mate. Rusty here with a look at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks. Straight up, it’s a flat spell to kick things off and then a slow, messy grind. We’re looking at a long run of days with poor surf conditions, so don’t get your hopes up for anything that’ll get the heart pumping.
The first recommendation doesn’t roll around until Sunday the 12th of July, and even then it’s a struggle. We get a pulse of moderate wave energy (140) from the NNW, swell height around 2ft with a long 11-second period at Derecha de los Alemanes. The wind is cross-shore, not straight onshore, but there’s a cross-chop making it messy. It’s still described as poor surf quality, so it’s more of a chance to get wet than any kind of standout.
Through the following week, the swell builds. By Thursday the 16th of July, the combined energy jumps to strong territory (204-215), with the swell height pushing 5ft from the NNE. But the wind stays stubbornly cross-onshore, moderate to fresh, chopping up the surface. The period is a short 7 seconds, so it’s windswell, lacking any real push. For the rest of the run up to Monday the 20th of July, we see the swell height climb over 5ft and even hit 6ft, with combined energy getting up to a very strong 378. But the wind is a constant issue—fresh cross-onshore, lumpy, and choppy.
The reality is, with that persistent onshore breeze and short-period swell, Derecha de los Alemanes is going to be a bumpy, blown-out affair. The water temp is around average for the time of year, so no surprises there. If you’re a beginner, those 5ft+ days are too much, and even for the experienced, the wind and chop will make it a tough paddle for poor-quality waves. Honestly, with the wind and swell setup, this area looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing for the vast majority of this window. There are no clear standouts in this forecast. The conditions just aren’t cooperating.
Rusty.
