The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s happening for the next couple of weeks.
It’s a rough start, I’m not gonna lie. We’re looking at a solid 13 days of choppy, onshore wind messing up what could be decent waves. The water is a touch warmer than usual at 76°, but that doesn’t help when you’re battling the chop.
The first real sign of life doesn’t show up until Saturday, September 7th, at Derecha de los Alemanes. The swell finally swings around from the WNW, bringing in a very long period groundswell of 19 seconds. That’s proper energy, with a combined energy of 830 (moderate wave energy). The morning shows a clean 3ft swell with a light offshore breeze from the NW. A reef break like this is exactly where you want to be for that kind of long period swell – it’ll line up perfect. But the afternoon picks up to 4ft and the wind goes onshore, so the morning window is the one to chase.
Then, get ready for the pick of the run, Monday morning, September 8th. The swell is still from the WNW, with a solid 4ft and a period of 14 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 1204 (strong wave energy). The wind is a light cross-offshore from the NNW, which should keep the waves clean and glassy. This is a reef break, so that long period will create some beautiful, grinding lines. The afternoon turns onshore, but that morning session is the one you’ll be telling stories about.
The following Tuesday, September 9th, still has some leftover WNW swell at 4ft with a 14-second period, but the wind is more cross-on, so it won’t be as pristine.
So, to wrap it up: the first two weeks are a total loss. Don’t even bother suiting up until Saturday, September 7th. Your best bet is the Monday morning, September 8th session at Derecha de los Alemanes – that’s the wave to be on. It’s a consistent spot, but it can get crowded, so get there early.
Rusty.
