The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here. Let’s suss out the local surf scene.
Truth is, it’s a bleak 16-day outlook. The only spot in the game is Derecha de los Alemanes, a consistent reef break, but the conditions are just rotten. Water temp is a touch warmer than average at 73°, but that’s where the good news ends.
From Wednesday, July 29th, it’s all cross-shore winds and lumpy, poor surf. The waves are small, around 3ft, from the north with a short period of 5 seconds, and the combined energy is a feeble 86. That pattern just sticks around. The wind is always from the north or north-northeast, cross or cross-onshore, keeping the surface choppy. The swell bumps up a bit through the first week to about 4ft to 5ft, with periods hitting 7 seconds, but the wind never gives us a break. The combined energy climbs into the 200s, but it doesn’t matter.
Even into early August, it’s the same story. Saturday, August 1st, has a brief moment of offshore wind in the morning, but the swell drops to 3ft with a short period, and it’s still poor. The rest of the week is just more moderate to fresh cross-onshore winds and choppy surf. The waves hit 5ft on Friday, August 7th, with the combined energy at 300, but it’s all blown out.
The second week is a rinse and repeat. From Monday, August 10th to Thursday, August 13th, it’s cross-onshore winds, small waves, and poor conditions. The combined energy stays in the 100s to low 200s, but it’s all for nothing.
No standouts at all. No clean surf, no good winds. This stretch is on a bad run. Might be worth a look for the kite surfers with the strong winds, but for a paddle surfer, it’s a no-go. Forecasts can shift, but for now, leave the board at home.
Rusty.
