The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s have a yarn about what’s on offer at Derecha de los Alemanes over the next couple of weeks.
First up, the water’s sitting at about 75°—a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you might get away with a springsuit or even just a rashie. But look, I gotta be straight with you: for the next ten days or so, it’s pretty grim. The winds are mostly cross or cross-onshore, blowing 12-22 mph, and the surf’s getting chopped up and lumpy. There’s a bit of energy around on Saturday the 29th of August, with a moderate combined swell energy reading 802, and a chest-to-head-high 6 ft swell from the north, but that 11-second period is held back by a fresh cross-shore wind. It’s not the clean, lined-up wave we’re after. The whole stretch from Tuesday the 25th of August right through to Wednesday the 9th of September is showing “poor surf conditions” with scores of zero—honestly, it’s a run of ordinary days. The swell direction (north) is pretty close to the optimum NNW, but the wind just kills it.
Then, on Wednesday the 9th of September afternoon, things finally change. The wind swings around to the east at 12 mph, giving us a nice cross-offshore breeze. The swell stays at 5 ft from the north, with an 8-second period and combined energy of 255—moderate energy. The wave comment says “clean.” That’s the standout of the whole outlook. It’s not huge, but you’ll get some fun, clean little runners on that reef. It’s a consistent beginner-friendly wave, so it’s a good one for a longer board and a quiet session—crowds are only sometimes there. The rest of the outlook is a dud, so if you’re keen, circle Wednesday the 9th of September afternoon.
