Table - best surf conditions forecast for Derecha de los Alemanes over the next 16 days.
G’day, Rusty here, and I gotta be straight with you. Lookin' at the next 16 days for Derecha de los Alemanes, it’s a bit of a rough stretch. The water’s sitting at 72°, which is about 2° warmer than usual for this time of year. Nothing too wild, just a touch above average.
The core problem is the wind. We’ve got a persistent northerly breeze that’s cross-onshore, and it’s just not letting up. It’s gonna be choppy and lumpy, and honestly, the surf quality is poor across the board. The combined swell energy is weak most days, with values like 43 to 53 early on, then it picks up a bit but the wind ruins it.
Thursday 9th & Friday 10th July – Tiny waves, 2ft to 3ft from the north, with a weak, short-period 5 seconds. It’s messy and cross-onshore. Not worth paddling out.
Saturday 11th July – Even smaller, down to 1ft to 1ft. The wind eases a little, but it’s still cross-onshore and fairly choppy.
Sunday 12th July – Swell bumps up to 3ft, then 4ft by afternoon, direction shifts to NNW with a 10-second period. The combined energy hits 162 and 247 (weak to moderate), but it’s still cross-onshore. Wind is up to 16 mph. No good.
Monday 13th to Tuesday 14th July – Back to 3ft, short period, and the same onshore mess. The energy is weak (99 to 105).
Wednesday 15th July – Wind cranks to 19 mph from NNE, making it a fresh cross-shore. Swell is 4ft to 4ft, period is a terrible 5 seconds. Lumpy, ugly, and the energy is still weak.
Thursday 16th July to Monday 20th July – Swell builds to 5ft–6ft from the north, period lengthens to 7-8 seconds. The combined energy gets into the 280s to 360s (moderate). But the wind is still 19 mph cross-onshore. It’s getting bigger, but it’s messy and lumpy. At this size and with the wind, it’s more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddle surf.
Tuesday 21st to Wednesday 22nd July – Drops a bit, 4ft to 4ft, still cross-onshore, still choppy.
Thursday 23rd to Friday 24th July – It kicks up again. By Friday 24th July, we’re looking at 7ft swell from the north, 8-second period, and the combined energy is 551 and 836 (strong). But the wind is 19–22 mph cross-onshore, making it lumpy and dangerous. That’s expert-only, and even then, the wind is gonna make it a battle.
Honestly, there’s not a single standout here. The wind just won’t swing offshore, and the swell direction is never right for Derecha de los Alemanes, which loves a NNW. The consistency is good, but the quality is poor. It’s a dry spell. Forecasts can change, but right now, I’d leave the board at home.
Rusty.
