The Lowdown
Alright folks, it's Rusty here. Let's get straight into it.
We're looking at a pretty grim stretch ahead for the Los-Alemanes area. The only wave on the menu is Derecha de los Alemanes, a reef break that's exposed to the swell. But honestly, the whole 16-day window is a write-off for decent paddle surfing.
The issue is a persistent, strong northerly wind. It's cross-onshore for the entire period, blowing at 15 to 19 mph most days, which is just going to trash the surface. From Saturday the 8th right through to the end of the run, we're looking at poor surf conditions. The wave energy is moderate at best, with the combined swell energy reading around 200-300 (moderate), but it's all wind-swell junk with a short period of 6-8 seconds. The swell is coming from the north, which isn't the optimum for this spot anyway.
The water temperature is about average for the time of year, so nothing to write home about there.
The first glimmer, and it's a tiny one, doesn't come until Saturday the 22nd of August. Saturday morning, the swell drops to 4 ft from the north, the wind eases to a gentle breeze, and it swings to a cross-shore direction. The combined energy drops to 209 (moderate), and the period stretches to 9 seconds. It's still only a marginal call, with a bit of cross-chop, but it's the only time in the whole outlook where the conditions aren't a complete mess. For a brief moment, it might be borderline surfable. Even then, it's a rare blip of calm in a storm of onshore rubbish.
The rest of the run is all cross-onshore, lumpy, and choppy. With the consistent onshore wind and a beach/reef setup, this looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a traditional surfer chasing an open face. There's no standout here, not even close. It's a tough run for the region.
Rusty.
