The Lowdown
Gutted, folks. Plain and simple, this stretch is a write-off for decent waves. We’re looking at a solid 16-day run where the ocean just isn’t playing ball. Every single session at Derecha de los Alemanes is flagged as poor surf conditions. That’s the whole window, from the 15th of August right through to the 30th. It’s a long, flat, and messy run.
The main issue is the wind. It’s almost always coming from the north or north-northeast, which is straight cross-shore or cross-onshore at this spot. That’s going to put a nasty chop on anything that does roll through. The swell heights are small, mostly hanging around the 2.6ft to 4.9ft mark, with periods short, between 6 and 10 seconds. Nothing with any punch. The combined energy stays weak to moderate at best, with readings like 118 and 224 in brackets, but it rarely builds into anything meaningful. Even when that energy does climb into the low-to-mid 300s on the 27th and 28th, the fresh cross-onshore breeze is going to tear it apart. It’s lumpy, messy, and not worth the paddle.
The only real bright spot is the last day in the window, the morning of the 30th. The wind finally swings around to an east-northeast cross-offshore, and the forecast notes it as clean. But the swell is still slight – 4.3ft at a short 6-second period. It’s a long shot, but it’s the only time we might see a bit of shape on the reef. Don’t get your hopes up though, it’s still a poor surf call overall.
For the rest of it, you’d get a better workout paddling a kayak or, honestly, with that wind and cross-chop, the setup looks way more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. It's a bleak outlook. The water temp is about average for this time of year. Hang tight, this blank run won’t last forever, and forecasts can change. But for now, sharpen your pencils or find another hobby.
