The Lowdown
Alright, let’s look at what’s going on.
The main spot is Derecha de los Alemanes (Los-Alemanes), a consistent reef break good for beginners. But for the next 16 days, the surf is looking pretty rough. Almost every day the wind is coming cross-onshore, making the ocean lumpy and choppy. The swell is small to moderate, and it never lines up with clean conditions.
From Monday August 31st all the way through mid-September, there’s hardly a decent window. The winds are mostly fresh and blowing in the wrong direction, messing up the waves. The combined wave energy readings run between 103 and 485, which means there’s some power at times, but the wind just ruins it.
If you had to pick one day, it would be Wednesday September 2nd. Swell hits up to 6ft from the north, with a combined energy of 485 – the strongest we see. But the wind is cross-onshore at 18-19 mph, so it’ll be lumpy and choppy. It’s not a great day, but it’s the only one with any real size.
Another day to look at is Tuesday September 8th, with about 5ft from the north-northeast. Still cross-onshore, with moderate breeze, and combined energy around 395. Again, the wind spoils it.
After that, the second week drops off big time. Swell heights go under 3ft, and the wind stays onshore or cross-onshore. September 15th has a 3ft swell with a long 10-second period from the west-northwest, and lighter winds, but it’s so small and the wind is onshore – not worth it.
Bottom line: there is no day in this 16-day window I’d call a real standout. Every session is rated poor. If you really want to paddle out, aim for September 2nd, but don’t expect much. This break is normally consistent, so a flat run like this is a bit unusual. Forecasts can turn around, so stay tuned.
