The Lowdown
Alright, grab a coffee, let's have a look at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, the outlook is a bit of a struggle. The wind is just not playing ball for the whole 16-day window. It's a real shame because there's a consistent pulse of swell, but the wind is locked in from the north and northeast, smashing it up. The best advice I can give you is to keep your expectations low, because you're going to be looking at a lot of choppy, cross-onshore mess.
The place we're looking at is Derecha de los Alemanes, a reef break that's consistent and works best on a NNW swell. The first few days from Wednesday, August 5th, are a write-off. The wind is a moderate to fresh breeze, cross or cross-onshore, making a mess of the 4ft to 5ft swell. The wave energy is moderate, sitting around 134 to 259, but it doesn't matter because the texture is just poor.
This pattern sticks around for the entire first week. The wind stays up, the swell direction is a bit off from the optimum, and the period is short, around 6 to 8 seconds. It's just not a recipe for good surf. The swell bumps up on Saturday, August 15th, to 6ft with a moderate energy of 370, but the wind is still a fresh cross-onshore. It's the same story. For the more experienced surfers, those 5ft+ days might offer some grunt if you're desperate, but the chop will be a nightmare.
We do see a slight easing of the wind in the final days of the outlook. On Tuesday, August 18th, the wind drops to a gentle breeze, and the swell period stretches to 9 seconds. The wave energy is still moderate at 156. On Wednesday, August 19th, the wind turns light, but it's still cross-onshore. The swell holds at 3ft with a period of 9 seconds. It's not going to be epic, but it could be the least rubbish session of the whole run. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, so no need to worry about the wetsuit.
The real kicker is the wind. It's never offshore. It's always either cross or cross-on, which is a major downer. The swell is there, but it's just getting ruined. If you absolutely have to get wet, keep an eye on the last few days of the forecast, but don't expect any standouts.
