The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at the charts for our region. Honestly, it’s a tough watch for the next two and a half weeks. The only wave on offer is Derecha de los Alemanes, and every single session in the 16-day window has been flagged as poor surf conditions with a score of zero. So, let’s just rip the band-aid off: there are no good surf options in this outlook.
Starting now, we’re looking at a long, blank run. The first day shows small, weak swell and the whole two-week stretch is dominated by northerly winds that are either cross or cross-onshore, keeping things choppy and messy. The swell period never climbs above 10 seconds, so it’s a fairly weak, short-period wind swell. Wave heights bump up around August 25th, getting to about 5ft, but the wind is a fresh 18 to 22 mph onshore, ruining any chance.
Even the standout in size—Wednesday August 26th morning with 5ft from north at 8 seconds—still has a cross-onshore fresh breeze. Combined energy on that day hits 303, so there’s moderate energy in the water, but it’s lumpy and disorganised. That’s expert-only if you’re mad enough to paddle out, and beginners should stay well clear. Even on the rare cross-shore wind days, the conditions are described as having a cross-chop.
If you are looking for something positive, the water temperature is around 73°F, which is about average for this time of year, so a wettie might not be needed. The wave direction is coming from the north, and Derecha de los Alemanes is a reef break exposed to the swell with an optimum from NNW, so the direction isn’t far off—but the wind is the killer here.
In a setup like this, with persistent onshore winds and moderate-sized, short-period swell hitting a beach-and-reef break, the conditions are honestly more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. It’s a blank run, but that’s not unusual for this area when the wind locks in from the north.
Keep an eye on the charts, but for now, I’d be finding something else to do.
Rusty.
