Grab a coffee and listen up. Rusty here.
It’s a tough stretch ahead for Derecha de los Alemanes. We’re looking at a pretty barren run for the next couple of weeks, to be honest. The swell is just not lining up with the wind at all. The water temperature is sitting at 71°, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so at least you won’t need the thickest wetsuit.
Starting off this Saturday morning, the 4th of July, we’ve got a small 4ft swell from the north with a period of 10 seconds, but the wind is on it from the NW, making for poor conditions. The combined energy of all swells is moderate at best (273), but it’s wasted. That theme sticks around for days. Sunday the 5th through to Thursday the 10th is all the same story: tiny waves—mostly under 3ft—with onshore or cross-onshore winds. The wave energy is low to moderate, ranging from (105) to (122), but every single session is marked as poor surf conditions. It’s just a mess of choppy, lumpy closeouts.
We get a slight bump in size around the 13th of July, with swell climbing to 5ft to 5ft from the north, and by the 14th we see the combined energy hit a strong (296) and (294). But the wind is a killer—fresh cross-onshore all day, every day. The period is short at 7 seconds, so it’s just crumbly, wind-affected junk. This pattern of 5ft to 5ft junk continues all the way through to the 19th of July. The combined energy stays strong, hitting (314) on the morning of the 15th, but with that persistent cross-onshore wind, it’s not surfable quality. For a reef break like this, you need that offshore magic, and we just aren’t seeing it.
Honestly, for this entire 16-day window, there isn’t a single standout session. No clean conditions, no long-period groundswell to get excited about. It’s a full blank run. If you’re desperate, keep an eye on the charts, but right now, it’s looking like a good time to wax the longboard and take a rest. This is more of a kite and windsurf setup with this persistent onshore flow than a paddle surfing paradise.
Stay patient. - Rusty
