Table - best surf conditions forecast for Derecha de los Alemanes over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here. Let me tell you straight up, it’s a tough stretch ahead for Derecha de los Alemanes. There’s no standout window, no clean swell, and honestly, not much to get excited about for the next two weeks.
We’re looking at a solid run of poor surf conditions from Monday, July 13th, all the way through to Tuesday, July 28th. That’s a full 16-day gap with no real recommendations. The swell is showing up, but it’s fighting a losing battle against the wind. Most days, you’re looking at a fresh cross-onshore breeze, often 18 to 22 mph, which is just lumpy and choppy. The wave energy is on the low side, with combined energy values mostly sitting between 69 and 287, which is weak to moderate, but it’s all wind-affected.
The swell itself is mainly from the NW to NNE, around 2 ft to 5 ft, with short periods of 6 to 9 seconds. That’s windswell territory, not the kind of long-period groundswell that makes this reef point sing. The optimum direction for this spot is NNW, and we do see some NNW swell, but the wind is almost always ruining it. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual there.
The one bright spot, if you can call it that, is on Tuesday morning, July 21st. The wind drops to a gentle breeze from the NNE at 9 mph, just a cross-shore with a slight cross-chop. The swell is 5 ft from the NNW with a 6-second period, combined energy of 161. It’s still poor surf conditions, but that’s the least bad window. If you’re desperate, you might find a few lumpy ones, but it’s not going to be any kind of classic Alemanes session.
This is a reef break that’s consistent when conditions line up, and it’s exposed to the swell, but the wind is just too onshore and too strong day after day. For beginners, anything over 5 ft gets tricky, and we hit that on Friday, July 17th, but the wind is so bad it doesn’t matter. Honestly, with the wind and the short-period chop, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing through most of the period.
So, no hidden gems here. The forecasts can change, but as it stands, you’re better off waiting for a cleaner window.
Rusty.
