The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I’m a bit gutted to say this, but the outlook for Derecha de los Alemanes is a real struggle. For the first week and a half, we’re staring down the barrel of absolutely nothing worth paddling out for. The wind is just relentless, hammering in from the north and north-northeast, blowing cross-onshore day after day, chopping everything up. We’ve got swell, sure, but it’s a messy, short-period windswell that’s just creating a washing machine. The combined energy is moderate, but it’s all poor quality.
The water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 75°, but that’s about the only nice thing I can say.
Even into the second week, things don’t really turn around. There’s a flicker of hope on the morning of the 14th of September. The wind swings offshore from the southeast, and the swell drops to 2ft from the north with an 8-second period. The combined energy is low, and the conditions are described as "surfable but very ordinary." It’s clean, but tiny. It’s the best of a bad bunch, but it’s not a standout.
The real kicker is that for the entire 16-day window, the north-northwest swell that this reef loves never really gets the right wind to go with it. There’s nothing here that gets me excited. It’s a long, dry spell. If you’re desperate, that morning on the 14th might give you a few little ones, but don’t expect much.
Rusty.
