The Lowdown

Listen up, folks. Rusty here with the truth about the waves. I hate to say it, but this 16-day outlook is a real bummer. We're staring down a long, stubborn stretch of poor conditions at Derecha de los Alemanes, all thanks to a persistent cross-onshore wind out of the north that just won't give us a break. The water's sitting at a warm 75°, a touch warmer than usual, so at least you'll be comfortable while you're watching the chop.

The pattern is bleak and repetitive. From Tuesday the 18th of August, the swell is a weak 3 ft to 3 ft from the north, with a short period of 8 seconds and combined wave energy in the low to moderate range. The wind is always cross-onshore, ruining any chance of a clean wave. This carries on straight through the weekend of the 22nd and 23rd. The swell tries to pick up to about 5 ft, but that fresh northeast wind just smashes the surface into a lumpy mess. Every single forecast point is marked as poor – there's a huge gap in any sort of decent surf for nearly two weeks.

The only slight change happens on Sunday the 30th of August, where the swell direction shifts a bit more north, giving us a 5 ft swell with a period of 9 seconds and a moderate energy reading of 393. But that fresh cross-shore wind is still there, killing the quality. Even as we head into the 2nd of September, nothing changes.

For the so-called "standout," you'd have to look at the weekend of the 28th and 29th of August. The swell from the north hits about 6 ft with decent energy in the 359 to 428 range. That's the biggest we'll see, and it's stepping into expert territory. But it's completely ruined by that relentless 30 km/h fresh cross-onshore wind. It's going to be a lumpy, choppy, bumpy mess.

Honestly, this whole stretch is a total write-off for a proper surf. With the wind howling cross-onshore over a beach-and-reef setup, it's looking a lot more appealing for kite surfing than paddle surfing. It's a rough run, but chin up – forecasts can turn around.

Rusty.
