The Lowdown
Hey everyone, Rusty here. Let's break down the local scene.
It's a grim stretch ahead, I won't sugar-coat it. The entire 16-day window is pretty much a washout. There's no good surf on offer at all; every session is rated as poor. We've got a long stretch of nothing but choppy, cross-onshore wind and weak, short-period swell. The first time it even looks like it might be worth a look is Wednesday the 19th of August, and that's still just a "marginal" call.
Derecha de los Alemanes is the only break in the game. It's a consistent reef that handles a NNW swell and is a good spot for beginners. But the wind is the enemy here. For the next week and a half, we've got a fresh to moderate breeze blowing from the N to NNE, hitting us cross-on or cross-shore, making the surface lumpy and choppy. The swell is small, generally 3 to 4 feet from the north, with a short period of 6 to 8 seconds. The combined energy is moderate, between 114 and 246, but it's all messy. The water is a touch warmer than average for this time of year at 74°.
The only tiny window is on the morning of Wednesday the 19th. The wind eases to a light breeze from the north at just 6 mph, and the swell period stretches to 10 seconds. The combined energy hits a solid 264. We get a 4-foot north swell. It's still a cross-on wind, so don't expect perfection, but it might be the first rideable wave in two weeks. It's described as "marginal," so manage your expectations.
After that one morning, it's back to the same old story: moderate cross-onshore wind, dropping swell energy, and poor conditions straight through to the end of the run on the 24th. For the first two weeks, the persistent wind and chop make this spot look more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. It's a tough forecast, but that's the hand we've been dealt. Keep checking in, forecasts can flip.
Rusty.
