The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, but we’re switching to feet and Fahrenheit for this one.
So, looking at this stretch, it’s a tough run for the most part. The only spot on the menu is Derecha de los Alemanes, a consistent reef break. Water temps are about average for the season. But the pattern is long, with a whole lot of poor conditions and only a couple of fleeting moments that might get you wet.
The one true standout is Monday, September 14th, in the morning. The wind is glassy out of the NW at just 3 mph, and the swell is a clean 2ft from the NNW with a nice, long 13-second period. Combined wave energy is moderate (211). It’s tiny, but with perfect conditions at a beginner-friendly break. If you have a longboard, get on it early. By afternoon, the wind goes north at 9 mph and turns cross-on, ruining the surface.
From Monday afternoon through to Saturday, September 19th, the wind is a nightmare – mostly strong cross-onshore from the NNE or N at 12 to 19 mph, keeping the surf choppy and lumpy. Thursday the 17th sees the swell hit 5ft, but with a short, weak 7-second period and 19 mph wind, the quality is terrible (combined energy 302). Not worth it.
Next possible window is Sunday, September 20th, in the morning. The swell drops to 2ft from the NNW with a very long 14-second period, and wind is a light cross-on from the north at 6 mph (combined energy 365). It’s marginal – that long period might make it fat and tricky at a beach break, but the reef at Los Alemanes could handle it better. It’s your next best look, but it’s still not clean.
After that, we’ve got nearly a week of poor to marginal readings. Then, on Monday, September 28th, in the morning, we see a 4ft swell from the NNW at 12 seconds, with cross-shore wind from the NE at 12 mph (combined energy 517). Messy with cross-chop, but “marginal.” The afternoon gets worse.
Bottom line: that glassy Monday morning (September 14th) is the only real winner. The rest of the run is a battle with the wind. If you’ve got a kite, the bigger, windy days mid-period might be more your thing. The second week has a couple of “maybe” moments, but nothing you should bank on.
Rusty.
