The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Derecha de los Alemanes over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, mate, it’s a pretty grim run. We’re looking at a solid 16-day window with absolutely no good surf on the cards. Every single session in the data is marked as poor, and the scores are all zeros. That’s a long, flat, and choppy stretch for this reef.
Right from the start, Monday the 10th is a write-off. We’ve got a weak 3ft swell from the north, a short 6-second period, and a fresh 30 km/h cross-onshore wind. The combined energy is a meager 127 – that’s weak, and the water is a touch warmer than normal at 74°, but you won’t care because it’s lumpy and miserable.
This pattern just grinds on. Day after day of 3ft to 4ft northerly windswell, always with a cross-onshore wind from the NNE or N. It’s mostly moderate to fresh breeze, keeping the surface choppy. The combined swell energy does climb into the moderate range a few times, like on Thursday the 13th with 229 and Friday the 14th with 221, but it’s all just wind-affected junk. There’s nothing here to get excited about.
We finally get a tiny glimmer near the end of the third week. On Sunday the 23rd, the swell direction shifts to the WNW with a period of 18 seconds – that’s very long period groundswell. The combined energy jumps to 379, moderate. But here’s the kicker: the swell height is only 2ft. That’s tiny. And we still have a cross-onshore wind. So it’s a long-period pulse with no size and messy conditions. The following days on the 24th and 25th keep a similar theme: decent period (14-11 seconds) from the NW to NNW, even stronger combined energy (346, 314, 318), but the swell height hovers around 2ft to 3ft, and the wind stays cross-onshore or cross-shore. It’s still all rated poor.
There’s not one standout in this entire forecast. The period is far too long for the tiny swell to form any proper waves, especially at a reef break, and the wind never drops to clean offshore conditions. It’s a 16-day blank. For an exposed reef like this that’s inconsistent by nature, a run like this is more normal for the area. Forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing to paddle out for.
Stay patient. Keep the wax in the wrapper.
