The Lowdown
Alright, let’s look at what’s happening at *Derecha de los Alemanes* for the next couple weeks.
Honestly, it’s a bleak stretch. The guidance says this spot is consistent, but nearly every single day in the forecast is marked as poor. From Wednesday the 2nd all the way through to Sunday the 13th, there’s nothing worth getting wet for. The wind is the main problem—steady fresh breezes from the north and north-northeast, mostly cross-on or cross-shore, keeping the surface lumpy and choppy. Wave heights run from about 3 ft to 5 ft, but with the wind on it, it’s a mess. The combined swell energy sits in the moderate range (between 122 and 436), but it’s all blown out.
There’s one small window: Monday the 14th, in the morning. A light breeze from the southwest, cross-shore, with a clean-looking 3 ft swell from the NNW at 13 seconds. That’s a proper groundswell, hitting the optimum direction for this reef. The energy is strong (344). But the forecast still only gives it a 1 out of 10—marginal because of tide or other local issues. If you’re really jonesing, that’s your best shot.
The rest of the second week stays poor. By Wednesday the 16th, there’s a big long-period pulse from the NNW at 17 seconds and energy jumping to 598 (strong), but the wind is still moderate cross-onshore and choppy. A real shame for a reef that would normally love that.
Water temp is 75°F, a touch warmer than average for this time of year. Nothing wild.
So yeah, it’s a quiet outlook. The break is a reef, exposed to the north-northwest, and when conditions line up, it can be a gem. But this 16-day run just doesn’t give us the combo. Keep an eye on Monday the 14th morning—that’s your only real chance. Otherwise, we wait.
Stay tuned, forecasts can shift.
