Alright, I’m gonna level with you: it’s a grim outlook for the next sixteen days at Derecha de los Alemanes. The whole period is completely flat when it comes to any kind of decent surf, so we’ve got a blank run from now, right the way through to Monday the 27th of July. There’s not a single session that scores above a zero, and that’s tough.
The problem is a constant, nasty cross-onshore wind. From the start on Sunday the 12th, we’ve got a cross-on breeze from the NNE at 9 mph, bumping up a 4 ft swell from the NW with a short period of 8 seconds, which just makes for a messy, choppy surface. That weak combined swell energy (177) isn’t doing us any favours either. The water temp is sitting at 73°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but you won’t feel good about it while you’re getting battered on the inside.
We do see the swell height building through the second week. By the weekend of the 18th and into the 19th, we’re looking at 5 ft to 6 ft from the north, but it’s coming with a fresh breeze directly onshore at 19 mph. The combined energy jumps up to strong levels (344-415), but it’s all wind and chop. The period stays short around 7-8 seconds, so it’s just a lumpy, messy close-out. This setup leans a lot more towards kite surfing than paddle surfing – the wind and the bumpy sea state are all wrong for us.
There’s a slight shift late in the window, around Wednesday the 22nd and Thursday the 23rd, when the wind turns offshore from the NW and NNW, but it’s still a cross-onshore component at 9-12 mph, and the swell is inconsistent and weak with a combined energy (207) that just can’t build any proper shape. The reality is, with every single entry saying “poor surf conditions,” there’s nothing to recommend. This is a blank run for the Alemanes reef.
Stay patient.
