The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, lookin' at the charts for Los Alemanes. Gotta be straight with you – it's a rough stretch ahead. The whole 16-day window is pretty much a write-off. We've got a solid run of onshore wind from the north and northeast, bangin' right into the beach, making a mess of things.
The first decent surf blip doesn't even show up 'til Friday the 7th of August, and even then it's a tough sell. We're lookin' at a 2ft NNE windswell, with a short, weak 9-second period and lousy cross-on wind at 16 mph. The combined energy is a weak 170 – that's just a choppy, bumpy mess. The water temp is about average for the time of year, which is the only thing that's normal.
It's a flat-out poor run all the way through. Every single day, from the 7th right through to the 22nd of August, the forecast is for "poor surf conditions." The north wind doesn't let up, staying in the 16-19 mph range, and the swell direction is locked in from the north, which is just wrong for this spot. Derecha de los Alemanes is a reef that needs a good, clean NNW swell, and we're gettin' none of that.
The best we can hope for is a slight uptick in size around the 16th of August, with 5ft swell, but it's still cross-on from the north at 19 mph, so it's gonna be a lumpy, blown-out shorebreak. The period does creep up to 9 seconds towards the end of the window, like on the 20th and 21st of August, with combined energy even hitting 438 (moderate), but again, the wind is just makin' it ugly. This is a beginner-friendly reef, but with the conditions this bad, it's not even fun for a paddle.
Honestly, with this persistent onshore wind and the swell direction all wrong, the setup here looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer. There's a big gap of no good surf at all, and it's a solid 16-day blank. For this area, a blank run like this is more normal than not when the wind sets in from the north. Forecasts can change, but for now, keep the board in the van.
Rusty.
