The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you – this is a tough one. The whole 16-day window for the Los-Alemanes area is a real struggle. There's simply no good surf on offer. Every single report comes back as "poor surf conditions," so we're not even getting a single standout session. From August 6th all the way through to August 21st, it's a complete blank run. The swell is consistently small, never really pushing past 5 feet, and the wind is almost always a messy cross or cross-onshore breeze, blowing at 15 to 22 mph. That combo is just ruining the shape of anything that does roll in.
The only break we've got to look at is Derecha de los Alemanes, a reef setup that's consistent and handles a north-northwest swell. But it's not doing us any favours here. The swell is coming from the north mostly, with a short, weak period of 6 to 9 seconds. The combined swell energy is weak, staying in the low hundreds, which tells you there's just no power behind it. The water is a touch warmer than normal at 74°, but that's no consolation when the waves are junk.
Because the wind is so consistently strong and cross-shore, and it's a reef break, this setup honestly looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. For us surfers, it's a wait-and-see situation. Forecasts can change, but right now, there's nothing to get excited about. I'd hang the board up for a bit and check back later.
Rusty.
