The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let me break down the next couple of weeks for Derecha de los Alemanes. It's a consistent beginner reef break, so that's a solid foundation. The water is sitting pretty warm at 72°, and that's bang on average for the time of year, nothing crazy.
Alright, here's the raw truth: the first week is a write-off. From Sunday the 26th to Friday the 31st of July, the wind is just relentless from the north and north-northeast, smashing straight onshore. It's going to be lumpy, choppy, and frankly, not very enjoyable. The swell is there, ranging from 3ft to 6ft, but with that wind, combined swell energy is hitting 451 (moderate) at its peak, it's all blown out. Don't even think about paddling out.
There is a real glimmer of hope on Saturday the 1st of August. A morning window opens up with a light cross-offshore breeze from the east-northeast. The swell drops right back to a tiny 3ft from the north, but the combined energy is still a solid 145 (moderate). The conditions turn "clean" – that’s what we want to hear. It'll be super small, maybe some fun little crumbly waves on the inside for a beginner to get a few rides on the foam ball, but don't expect anything to get your heart racing.
Then it's back to the grind. From Sunday the 2nd through the second week, it's a long, frustrating haul. The wind stays onshore or cross-onshore for days. Swell sizes bob around 3ft to 5ft with average 7-8 second periods. The combined energy is all in that moderate 100-300 range, but those scores tell the story: "poor surf conditions". The period gets up to 11-12 seconds on Saturday the 8th of August, and the swell bumps up to 5ft-5ft with combined energy climbing to 643 (strong), but the 19 mph fresh cross-onshore wind is just going to shred it. That's an expert-only condition at best, and with the wind on it, it’s not worth the paddle. This setup would be far more appealing for kite surfing than a paddle surfer.
Honestly, for the entire 16-day window, there is no true standout session. The only half-decent shot is that small, clean window on the morning of Saturday the 1st. The rest of the time, the wind is the story, and it's an ugly one.
Rusty, signing off.
