The Lowdown

G’day, I’m Rusty, and I’ve been watching this stretch of coast like a hawk. Right now, it’s a tough one. There’s no surf on offer straight away, and the whole 16-day window is a flat-line of poor surf conditions. The first recommendation doesn’t show up until Monday 3rd August, and even then it’s a struggle. From there, right through to Tuesday 18th August, every single session is scored as poor surf conditions, with no real standouts at all. That’s over two weeks of pretty much nothing worth paddling out for.

The only spot in the frame is Derecha de los Alemanes, a reef break that’s consistent and exposed to the NNW swell. It’s a beginner-friendly wave, but the wind is a killer. From Monday 3rd August morning, it’s cross-onshore from the NNE at 16 mph, with a moderate breeze, making the water choppy and lumpy. The swell is small—around 3 ft from the N, with a short period of 6 seconds and weak energy (129). The water temperature is 73°F, which is only about 1°F above the long-term average, so pretty normal for this time of year. Conditions don’t improve; Tuesday 4th stays cross-shore and choppy, then cross-onshore, with 3 ft to 3 ft swell and 16 to 19 mph winds. Wednesday 5th bumps up to 4 ft but with the same lumpy cross-onshore flow. The energy climbs a bit but it’s not enough to overcome the wind.

The pattern holds: moderate to fresh breezes, cross-onshore, lumpy, and choppy. By Friday 7th afternoon, the swell reaches 5 ft from the N at 8 seconds, with moderate energy (362), but the wind is still fresh cross-onshore at 19 mph. Saturday 8th morning sees 6 ft and energy of 408—moderate—but again, the wind ruins it. Sunday 9th stays similar with 5 ft and 275 energy. The second week doesn’t offer any relief: Monday 10th to Wednesday 12th, swell hangs around 4 ft to 4 ft, all cross-onshore, all poor. Thursday 13th and Friday 14th are the same story. Then Saturday 15th sees a bump to 6 ft from the N, 8-second period, with energy jumping to 788 on the afternoon—moderate to strong—but the wind is still cross-onshore at 16 to 19 mph. Sunday 16th holds 5 ft to 6 ft, same deal. The run ends on Tuesday 18th with swell dropping to 3 ft to 4 ft, 9-second period, weak energy, and still cross-onshore.

Honestly, there’s no standout here. The best you could hope for is the bigger energy days around August 15th to 16th, but the cross-onshore wind and lumpy conditions mean it’s not going to be clean. The swell direction is N, but the optimum for this spot is NNW, so it’s not even hitting right. Crowds are possible at this consistent reef, but with conditions this poor, it’ll probably be quiet. If you’re desperate, it’s a beginner wave, so the 3 ft to 4 ft days might be okay for a mess-around, but don’t expect anything memorable. This is one of those blank runs where the area just isn’t cooperating. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a long wait.

Rusty.
