The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let's get into it.

First up, I gotta be straight with you – this stretch is a tough one. We're looking at a solid 16-day window for Derecha de los Alemanes, a consistent reef break that's usually a good bet for beginners, but the conditions are just not playing ball. The wind is locked in from the north, blowing cross-on shore, and it's a fresh breeze, 15 to 22 mph, just ruining the surface. It's going to be lumpy, choppy, and messy. The swell is coming from the north, which is not the optimum direction for this spot, and at a short, weak period of 6 to 8 seconds, there's no push or shape to it. The combined wave energy is moderate at best, struggling to get into triple digits until the 24th, so it's weak and disorganized.

The water temperature is sitting at 72.3°, which is about normal for this time of year, but with this wind, it's not going to feel warm.

We start off on Tuesday the 21st with 5-foot north swell and a 7-second period, but that 22 mph northerly wind is making it a complete write-off. This poor pattern continues day after day. Wednesday the 22nd and Thursday the 23rd are the same story: 4 to 5 feet of short-period, weak swell, ruined by the wind. The energy picks up a bit on Friday the 24th and Saturday the 25th, with the swell hitting 5 to 6 feet and the energy climbing to 318 and then 469 – that's a moderate, punchy energy for this spot. But the wind is still howling from the north-northeast at 22 mph, and the period is still only 8 seconds. It's going to be a big, bumpy mess.

By Sunday the 26th, the swell is 6 feet, but the wind is relentless. This pattern of cross-on, short-period, wind-affected slop is locked in through the end of July and into the first week of August. On Monday the 4th of August, the swell drops off to a tiny 1.5 feet with a very long 11-second period, but it's from the northwest, which is a better direction, but the wind is still fresh and cross-on. It's a tease.

The only real hint of something different comes on Friday the 31st of July, when the wind backs off to a gentle 9 mph from the north-northwest. That's the best wind in the entire forecast. The swell is only 4.5 feet from the north, period still short at 7 seconds, but with lighter wind, it might be the least ugly session of the whole run. It's still cross-on, but it's a gentle breeze, so it won't be completely blown out.

The standout? If you're desperate, Friday the 31st of July morning is your only real shot. The wind is lightest, the swell is 4.5 feet, and it's the closest we get to clean. But don't expect much. It's a day for a longboard and low expectations.

For the rest of the run, honestly, this is a kite-surfing setup. The wind is strong and consistent from the north, and the swell is too short and weak to give you a proper paddle-surfing wave. It's a blank run for the wave riders. The forecast can always change, but right now, it's a tough one.
