The Lowdown
Settle in, because it’s a tough outlook. Over the next sixteen days, there isn’t one day I’d tell you to drop everything and go. The whole window is filled with poor surf – the swell tries to make a run at it, particularly around August 10th and 11th, when the wave energy gets strong (551-593) and wave heights push up to around 7 ft, but the wind is cross-onshore from the north every time. That’s a recipe for lumpy, blown-out waves.
Starting Wednesday July 29th at Derecha de los Alemanes, a reef break that’s consistent and needs a NNW swell. Morning shows a small 3 ft swell from the north, with a short 5-second period, and weak energy (84). The wind is a fresh 30 km/h cross breeze, making for lumpy cross-chop. That poor stretch rolls through Thursday and Friday, with swell edging up to 4 ft but still short-period and cross-onshore. Saturday August 1st gives a brief quieter moment: a light 10 km/h offshore wind, a 3 ft swell, and a longer 10-second period, moderate energy (214) – the cleanest you’ll see, but still a small, weak wave that’s called poor quality. From Sunday through the end of the first week, it’s the same story: moderate to fresh cross-onshore winds, waist-high swell, no power.
Into the second week, Monday August 3rd through Saturday the 8th stays poor. Swell hangs between 4 ft and 5 ft, but the wind is relentless from the north or north-northeast, cross-onshore, often a fresh 30 km/h or more. Wednesday the 5th sees a 5 ft north-northeast swell with moderate energy (274), but it’s still lumpy and cross-onshore.
The biggest swell arrives Monday August 10th: 7 ft from the north, 8-second period, strong energy hitting 593 in the afternoon. Tuesday the 11th keeps it solid at 6 ft, energy 482-529. That’s the most size we’re going to get, but it’s all cross-onshore from the north at 20-30 km/h, meaning choppy slop. For a beach-and-reef setup, that’s more of a kiteboarding day. Wednesday and Thursday the 12th-13th tail off, still cross-onshore with a sloppy 5-6 ft swell.
No day has the right wind. The break needs a north-northwest swell, and we’re getting north and north-northeast instead. Water temp is about normal for this time of year. The only slight window is Saturday morning August 1st if that light offshore holds, but it’s a small, weak wave. Otherwise, this is a blank run. It happens.
