The Lowdown

Right, I’ll be straight with you. If you’ve come looking for good waves, best to sit this one out for a while. Derecha de los Alemanes is a consistent reef break that’s usually a goer for beginners, but the next 16 days are a write-off. The wind is stuck in a cross-onshore pattern from the north and north-northeast, blowing 9 mph up to 19 mph, and that’s kept the surface lumpy and choppy right through. The water temperature is sitting at 74°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only thing in your favour.

We kick off Monday, August 10, with a morning of clear skies but a 19 mph NNE cross-onshore wind making a mess of a 4 ft swell from the north, period a short 6 seconds. The combined swell energy is weak at 159, so it’s not even packing much punch. That pattern just repeats day after day, with the same story: 3 ft to 4 ft, period mostly 6 to 7 seconds, and wind never letting up. The only real change is from Wednesday, August 19, when the wind swings to NNW briefly and goes “on” rather than cross-on, but the swell is still just 4 ft at 9 seconds and the rating is still zero. It’s poor altogether.

The end of the window, from about August 23 onward, the swell tries to pick up – 5 ft to 5 ft from the north, with period hitting 8 seconds and energy climbing to 353 on the 23rd, which is moderate. But the wind is still cross-shore or cross-onshore, and the face is just chopped. There’s a late pulse of longer period swell around August 24–25, with a 1 ft swell from the northwest at 18 seconds and a 2 ft from the west-northwest at 14 seconds, but those are tiny and the wind messes it up. For this spot, that’s a long period groundswell that would be better over a reef, but with the wind, it’s not worth paddling out for.

Honestly, this is a blank run. The conditions are poor every single day. If you’re a kite surfer, that cross-onshore wind and lumpy surface might be your thing, but for paddle surfing, save your energy. The forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing to get excited about.
