Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks. I’m looking at Derecha de los Alemanes, a consistent reef break that’s good for beginners. The water temp is sitting at 72°, which is about a degree and a half warmer than usual for the time of year – a nice little bonus for comfort.
Right off the bat, the pattern is quiet. There’s a real dry spell for the first few days. From Thursday afternoon, July 9, all the way through to late Saturday, July 11, we’ve got tiny, short-period swell and messy cross-onshore winds. It’s frankly not worth paddling out. Think 1.0ft to 3ft of windswell with weak energy readings.
The first glimmer of hope shows up on Sunday morning, July 12. The swell picks up to 4ft from the NNW, with a period of 8 seconds, so it’s still a bit short and junky. The wind is a gentle cross-shore, which is a step in the right direction, and wave energy bumps up to a moderate level. The call is marginal, so don't get your hopes up for anything epic.
Looking further ahead into the third week, the middle of July sees a real building trend in swell height. By Monday, July 20, we’re seeing 6ft from the north at 9 seconds, with moderate wave energy. The wind tries to swing cross-shore on the Monday morning. However, for the most part, from July 12 right through to July 24, the wind is consistently blowing cross-onshore or onshore, and sometimes strong. Nearly every afternoon session is written off as poor due to this chop. The swell period rarely breaks past 10 seconds, keeping the quality in check.
Honestly, the best of a bad bunch looks like the morning of Monday, July 20 and Tuesday morning, July 21. On the 20th, we get chest-high 6ft swell from the north (9s, moderate energy) with a moderate cross-shore breeze that might just tidy it up. On the 21st, it drops a touch to 5ft, still from the north, with a 10-second period hinting at a bit more push, and a lighter cross-onshore wind. The wave energy is still moderate. These won’t be groomed perfection, but they’re the closest we get to a surfable window.
If you’re an experienced surfer, that stretch around July 19-20 has the size (6ft to 6ft) and solid energy, but the onshore wind turns it into a lumpy mess. Honestly, for paddle surfing, it’s a tough run. With that persistent onshore push and the beach/reef setup, this might look more interesting for a kite surfer than a traditional surfer on a lot of those days.
The stand-out period, and the only real one to circle, is Sunday morning, July 12, for a small beginner-friendly window, and the Monday/Tuesday mornings of July 20-21 for slightly bigger, cleaner(ish) options. Beyond that, it’s a long haul of chop.
Stay patient, and keep those fingers crossed for a change in the wind.
Rusty.
