Table - best surf conditions forecast for Derecha de los Alemanes over the next 16 days.


Alright, Rusty here. Let me tell you straight up: it’s a tough run ahead for this stretch of coast. We’re looking at Derecha de los Alemanes, a reef setup that’s usually a reliable beginner-friendly spot, but for the next two and a half weeks, the ocean is just not playing ball. There’s not a single decent surf day on the cards in the 16-day window. Not one.

Right now, starting Sunday the 12th, the swell is small and weak. The wave energy is moderate at best, sitting at 176 (moderate). The swell is coming from the NW at 4 ft, but the period is a short, weak 8 seconds. That’s not a groundswell; it’s just wind chop. The wind is a cross-shore from the NNE at 9 mph, which is okay, but it’s not enough to clean up the mess. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing weird going on there.

This pattern just keeps going. Monday the 13th is more of the same: 3 ft NW swell, NNE wind, messy. The energy drops to 173 (still moderate). The whole first week is littered with cross-shore and cross-onshore winds, mostly from the N or NNE at 12 to 19 mph. The swell direction isn’t even matching the break’s preferred NNW direction all that well. It’s mostly a northerly windswell. By Wednesday the 15th, the swell drops to 2 ft, and by Thursday the 16th it bumps up to 4 ft, but it’s from the NNE at a short 7 seconds, and the wind is picking up.

The middle of the run, from the 17th to the 20th, sees the swell holding around 4 ft to 5 ft from the N, but the wind is a nasty cross-onshore, making it choppy and lumpy. The wave energy climbs into the 200s (moderate, getting stronger), but with those winds, it’s just a mess. The water is a confused, bumpy surface. Not worth a paddle.

The second week is worse. From the 21st to the 24th, it’s all cross-onshore wind, chop, and lumpy conditions. The swell stays around 3 ft to 4 ft, but the period drops to 6 or 7 seconds – really short, weak energy. The wave energy even dips below 100 (weak) on the 21st. Then, on the 25th and 26th, the swell lifts to 5 ft and 6 ft, and the energy jumps to 292 and 342 (strong). That sounds promising, but the wind is blowing 19 to 22 mph from the N, cross-onshore, and the period is still only 7-8 seconds. It’s just a big, blown-out, lumpy mess. For a reef break, that’s not going to be any fun.

So, the honest truth is this: there is absolutely nothing to recommend. The wind is almost never offshore, the swell is messy, and the quality is consistently poor. It’s a full 16-day blank. For a place like this, that’s not super typical, but it happens. The forecasts can change, so don’t give up hope, but for now, keep the board in the car and go do something else. It’s just not happening.

Rusty.
