Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the menu for Derecha de los Alemanes.
Honestly, I gotta tell ya, this is a tough one. For the entire 16-day window, it's pretty much all cross-onshore wind and poor surf conditions. The swell is there, but the wind just won't let it clean up.
The first week is a write-off. Tiny, weak swells with bumpy, choppy conditions. We're talking about heights barely pushing 3 ft to 4 ft and combined swell energy values that are either weak or just nudging into moderate, like 16 (weak) up to 195 (moderate) on the 12th. The wind is a constant cross-onshore, so forget about anything clean. Not even worth waxing the board.
From around the 17th of July, the swell actually starts to build nicely, hitting 5 ft to 6 ft with some moderate to strong energy readings – we see values like 197, 213, 256, and even 342 on the 19th. The swell direction is consistently from the north, which is close to that optimum NNW we like to see. But here’s the heartbreaker: the wind stays locked in from the NNE, blowing at 19 to 22 mph, keeping it choppy and lumpy. It’s a real shame because there’s some grunt in that water.
For a break like this, which is an exposed reef, it just can't handle that kind of constant cross-onshore breeze. The period stays short, between 6 and 9 seconds, so you're not getting the long, clean lines you'd want.
Considering the combined energy and swell size gets pretty significant (over 8 ft later on), it could be an option for experienced surfers on a kite. This setup honestly looks far more interesting for kite surfing than for a paddle session.
There are zero standouts here. It’s going to be a long, frustrating run until the conditions change. The forecasts can shift, but right now, there's nothing to recommend.
Rusty.
