The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get real about the next couple of weeks. We’ve only got one spot on the radar, and I gotta be straight with you – it’s a rough stretch.
The whole 16-day window is a write-off for clean, proper surf. The wind is our enemy here, hammering us from the north and north-northeast, always cross or cross-onshore, and often a fresh breeze. That’s kicking up chop and lumpy conditions non-stop. The swell is coming in, but it’s messy, short-period windswell mostly, and it just can’t overcome the wind. The combined swell energy shows some moderate to strong pulses – like that 515 (moderate wave energy) we’re looking at on Saturday the 8th, and a few others in the 200s and 300s – but it’s all for nothing when the surface is that torn up. The water is sitting at 73°, which is about a degree and a half warmer than usual for this time of year, so that’s a small comfort, but it doesn’t fix the surf.
The first surf recommendation is for Tuesday morning, August 4th, at Derecha de los Alemanes. It’s a consistent reef break, good for beginners normally, but with the wind howling from the NNE at 16 mph, it’s just poor. Wave height is 3 ft from the north, period of 7 seconds – that’s weak, short-period junk. The forecast says "poor surf conditions" and a score of zero, and I can’t argue with that. The wind stays cross or cross-onshore for the entire 16 days. There’s no standout moment, no clean window. The best we can say is that by the end of the second week, around Monday the 17th, the wind drops to a light breeze, but it’s still cross-onshore and the swell is only 3 ft with a 10-second period. Still poor.
Honestly, if you’re a kite surfer, the strong, consistent north wind and the bumpy water might be more interesting than it is for paddle surfing. For the rest of us, it’s a long stretch of nothing. The forecast shows no change, so you’re better off waiting for the next system. The spot is consistent, but when the conditions are this bad, it doesn’t matter.
Rusty.
