The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s going on.
Straight up, it’s a tough run ahead. The whole 16-day window is a write-off for decent surf. We’re looking at Derecha de los Alemanes, a reef break that’s consistent and exposed, but the wind and swell just aren’t playing ball. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing wild there.
The problem is the wind. It’s hammering out of the NNE or N from start to finish, mostly a fresh to strong cross-onshore breeze, which is just trashing the surface. The swell is there, but it’s a short-period, wind-driven pulse from the north, with periods only 6 to 9 seconds – no real grunt behind it. The combined energy (227 to 904) says it all: from weak to moderate, but it’s all messy.
Monday the 20th through Thursday the 24th of July, we’ve got 5ft to 6ft of lumpy, choppy, poor surf. Nothing to get excited about.
Friday the 25th to Sunday the 27th, the swell bumps up to 7ft to 7ft, but the wind gets even stronger, a strong breeze cross-onshore. That’s just messy, horrible conditions. At 7ft, it’s getting too big for beginners, but with the wind like that, it’s no good for anyone.
The final week, from the 28th of July through to the 4th of August, sees the swell drop back to 4ft to 6ft, and the wind eases slightly to a moderate breeze, but it’s still cross-onshore and choppy. The last few days, the 3rd and 4th of August, the swell picks up again to 7ft and 8ft, with the combined energy hitting 904, but the wind is still a fresh cross-onshore. It’s all just poor surf conditions.
There is no standout. Not a single morning or afternoon in the whole 16 days has a score worth mentioning. This stretch is a total blank. Given that, it’s not a great sign for consistency, but it happens. Sometimes the ocean just doesn’t cooperate.
If you’re desperate, the setup is more interesting for a kite surfer with that strong cross-shore wind than for a paddle surfer. But for a wave, you’re better off waiting for the next forecast.
Rusty.
