The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it for our stretch of coast. It’s a bit of a strange run we’ve got coming up, with a lot of time where you might be better off waxing the kiteboard than the shortboard.
For the most part over the next week and a half, we’re looking at a whole lot of close-out conditions. The swell direction is all over the shop, coming from the N and NNW, but that wind is the real killer. It’s blowing onshore or cross-onshore for days on end, chopping up what little swell we have. The energy is mostly weak (all three-digit numbers like 241), and that just isn’t going to do anything for us. There’s a pulse of energy building next Thursday and Friday, the 18th and 19th, with the combined energy climbing to 462 and 489, but the wind is going to be a fresh 30 km/h cross-onshore. That’s a mess. That kind of set-up on a reef just becomes a washing machine. For a beginner on Derecha de los Alemanes, that’s a hard pass. It’s just stormy slop.
The water temp is sitting at 75°, which is about normal for this time of year, about 1° warmer than the long-term average. So, not a worry there.
Now, there is a glimmer of hope if you're patient. The first real chance of a decent wave comes on the morning of Sunday the 20th. The swell drops to 3ft from the NNW, but the wind goes glassy with a light WNW breeze. The energy is still moderate at 426, but it’s clean. That’s the window. The next morning, Monday the 21st, is similar – glassy, clean, with a 3ft NNW swell. These are your standouts in an otherwise bleak stretch. Short period (around 14 seconds) and clean, that's a lot better than what we’ve seen.
Beyond that, it’s a fade-out again. Late in the month, from the 27th and 28th, we get some glassy periods, but the swell has just died. We’re talking 1ft to 2ft, and the period has dropped right out to 6-8 seconds. It's about as flat as it gets. The energy readings are down to 34 or 41, which is barely a ripple. It’s not going to be worth the paddle.
So there you have it. The first week is a write-off. Mark your calendar for the 20th and 21st. Get out there when it’s clean. Otherwise, you’ll be watching the horizon.
Rusty.
