The Lowdown
Hey crew, Rusty here. I’m looking at the next 16 days, and I’m not gonna lie to you, it’s a rough patch. The first bit of surf that’s even worth talking about doesn’t arrive until a week out, on Sunday the 23rd of August, and that’s a real “maybe”.
For the next seven days, from now through Saturday the 22nd, the wind is our enemy. It’s blowing from the north and northeast at 10 to 16 mph, washing everything out with cross-shore and cross-onshore chop. We’ve got tiny waves from 3 ft to 4 ft, but they’re weak windswell with periods of just 7 to 8 seconds. The energy numbers are all in the weak range (147 to 257), so it’s just bumpy, messy water. Water temp is a pleasant 73°, which is about normal.
Then comes Sunday the 23rd of August. Derecha de los Alemanes (*reef*) might offer a small window in the morning. The breeze drops to a light cross-shore from the NE at just 6 mph. The swell is a tiny 3 ft from the north, but the period stretches to a long 10 seconds, giving it some shape and a combined energy of 226 (moderate). The call is “marginal”, and it’s a “one” out of ten – you’re scraping the barrel. This spot is consistent when it goes, and crowds can show up *sometimes*. The real bummer is the swell direction is north, not the preferred NNW, so it won’t be perfectly lined up.
From Monday the 24th of August onwards, it’s back to the bad stuff. Strong NNE winds at 12 to 22 mph pick up. Swell heights get bigger, hitting 6 ft, with moderate to strong energy (351-382), but the period is a short 8 seconds and the wind is on it. It’s lumpy, choppy, and only for the hardened expert. It stays “poor” right through the end of the month, with short-period swell from the NNW arriving on the 29th of August but with fresh winds still ruining it.
Honestly, your only real shot is that Sunday the 23rd of August morning session at Derecha de los Alemanes. The rest of the time, it’s a write-off. Much more of a kiteboarding breeze than a surfing groundswell.
Rusty.
