The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’m gonna level with you straight up – the next couple of weeks around Derecha de los Alemanes are a tough watch. The forecast shows a real flat spell with nothing but poor surf conditions day after day. The wave energy is weak, barely cracking 100 (100-279) at any point, with a messy north-northeast cross-onshore wind that just won’t let up. The swell is tiny, mostly 2 ft to 4 ft, and it’s coming from the north, which is all wrong for this spot – the optimum is from the NNW. The water is a warm 74°, about a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s small comfort when the surf is this bad.
There’s no standout session here. The whole 16-day window is a write-off, with every single morning and afternoon tagged as “poor surf conditions.” The wind is a constant cross-on or cross-shore at 15-22 mph, making it choppy and lumpy. You’d be fighting a losing battle just to get a clean wave. The northwest swell direction that shows up very late in the forecast, around the 20th and 21st, is still too small (3 ft-3 ft) and the wind is still onshore. For beginners, this is a washout; for experts, it’s not even worth a look.
If you’re desperate for any kind of movement, the best you can hope for is a brief window on the morning of the 19th when the wind drops to a light breeze (6 mph). The swell is still tiny (3 ft from the north with a period of 9 seconds), but that light breeze might make it a little less messy. Don’t kid yourself, though – it’s still poor. Honestly, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, with that consistent cross-onshore wind. The whole run is a blank, and for this area, that’s a pretty normal pattern when the wind locks in like this. We’ll see if the forecasts change, but for now, leave the board in the car.
Rusty.
