Alright, this is Rusty, and let’s look at it in feet and miles per hour.
So, for the next two weeks, I gotta level with you. It’s a tough stretch at Derecha de los Alemanes. This is a beginner-friendly reef break that usually gets plenty of swell, but the wind and waves have been in a fight. The first real chance you’ve got isn’t until Monday, July 20th. Before that, from Friday the 10th to Sunday the 19th, it’s a long run of crummy conditions: small or choppy surf, wind blowing cross-onshore at 15–22 mph, and the water looking like a washing machine. Not worth your time. That’s a ten-day gap with no recommendations.
On Monday morning, July 20th, things shift a little. You’ve got a 6ft swell from the north with a 9-second period, and for the first time, the wind turns into a moderate cross-shore breeze at 16 mph. There’s still a cross-chop, but it’s the best we’ve got. The energy is strong at 516. It’s marginal, but if you’re keen, you might find a couple.
Tuesday morning, July 21st, is a bit smaller—swell is 5ft from the north, 8-second period, and the wind lightens to a gentle cross-shore at 9 mph from the NE. That’s the cleanest wind of the whole run, but the surf is still rated poor overall. The energy is moderate at 352.
Honestly, there’s no true standout here. If I had to point you to the least disappointing time, it’s that Monday, July 20th morning or Tuesday, July 21st morning. The water temperature is about average for the season, nothing wild going on.
It’s a lean forecast, and the wind is the villain. I’d keep an eye on it but wouldn’t be in a rush to get wet.
Rusty, out.
