The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here. It’s been a rough stretch of weather for the surf. Starting this Saturday the 5th, right through until Tuesday the 15th, the conditions have been nasty. Persistent cross-onshore winds and messy, choppy surf. The first glimmer of hope is on the morning of Tuesday the 15th at Derecha de los Alemanes.
Before that, it’s a slog. Choppy, lumpy, and crummy day after day. The water is a comfortable 75°F, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, so the swimming is pleasant even if the waves aren’t.
The one and only standout is the morning of Tuesday the 15th. Derecha de los Alemanes cleans right up with a light cross-offshore wind at just 9 mph. That’ll put a mirror finish on the waves. We’ll see a clean 4ft swell from the N, with moderate wave energy (214). This is a consistent reef break that works best with a NNW swell; the direction is a little off, but that clean, offshore wind makes it the best we’ve got all window. It’s a beginner-friendly spot, and the crowds are only sometimes an issue, so you should find a few to yourself.
After that, it goes south again. The wind turns back onshore and the swell bumps up to 6ft with strong wave energy (519) by Thursday the 17th, but it’s all trash with fresh cross-onshore wind. That’s expert-level size but with terrible texture. The setup would be more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
So, put in for a late start on Tuesday the 15th. It’s the only clean game in town.
