The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what we’ve got cooking.
Alright, folks, the outlook for the next couple of weeks is a bit of a tough one. We’re looking at a long stretch of messy, onshore wind and chopped-up surf at Derecha de los Alemanes (Los-Alemanes). Honestly, for the first week and a half, it’s a write-off. There’s nothing worth paddling out for. We’re talking persistent moderate to fresh cross-onshore winds from the north and northeast, turning what could be a fun swell into a lumpy, choppy mess. The water temp is sitting at a warm 74°, which is about average for this time of year, so you won't need a steamer, but that’s about the only bright spot.
The only real glimmer in this whole 16-day window comes on Sunday afternoon, September 13th. The wind is set to drop to nearly nothing, going glassy. We’ll have a small but clean 4ft swell from the north with an 8-second period. It’s nothing huge, but when that wind goes glassy, this reef break cleans right up. The combined energy is moderate (273), so there’s a bit of push to it. Keep in mind, crowds are possible here, and if it’s the only clean wave in town, it’ll be busy. That’s your best bet for a proper surf.
After that, we slide back into smaller, weaker swells. Monday morning, September 14th has a tiny 2ft swell from the NNW with a long 13-second period, but it’s cross-onshore again and marginal. The long period might make for some lined-up waves, but the size is tiny.
Heading into the second week, there’s a bit more size but still the same story with the wind. Monday, September 21st sees a big jump in energy with a 3ft to 4ft swell from the NNW, but those periods get very long – 16 to 17 seconds. That’s a proper groundswell, and the combined energy is strong (818-888). The problem? It’s still cross-onshore. For a reef like this, that long-period swell would be amazing if the wind was right, but it won’t be. It’s going to look better for the kite surfers than for us.
Honestly, for most of this run, the wind just won’t play ball. Sunday the 13th is your one shot. Don’t miss it.
