The Lowdown
Alright surfers, Rusty here with the honest truth. For Derecha de los Alemanes over the next 16 days, you’re looking at a whole lot of nothing. It’s a classic exposed reef that’s consistent and works for beginners when it’s on, and it needs a NNW swell to really light up.
We’ve got a serious dry spell. From Thursday, the 3rd of September, all the way to Friday, the 18th of September, every session is rated as poor. There’s a gap of nearly two weeks of absolutely nothing to recommend.
Why? The swell is weak and short-period—mostly around 3 ft from the north with periods of 5 to 8 seconds. The combined energy is low, running through the 70 to 170 range (moderate at best), so it’s just a weak, choppy sea. The wind is the real killer. It’s a constant cross-shore or cross-onshore breeze from the N or NNE blowing at 9 to 19 mph, leaving the surface lumpy and churned up. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, but you won’t notice that through all the chop.
There’s one tiny light at the end of the tunnel. On the morning of Friday, the 18th of September, things line up. We get *slight air* wind from the NE at just 3 mph, a light cross-shore with only small ripples. The swell comes in at 3 ft from the north with a 10-second period, and the combined energy jumps to 288 (moderate). The model calls it “marginal”, but with those light winds, it’s easily the best we’ll get.
The Standout: The only session worth even looking at is the morning of Friday, the 18th of September at Derecha de los Alemanes. The swell is small, but with nearly glassy conditions, it’ll be clean and rideable. It’s a beginner reef, but the short period means it won’t have much push. Be aware that crowds are *sometimes* an issue there, so you might have a few others out for a marginal wave. Everything else is a right-off.
Rusty.
