The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's break down what's on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
Well, I gotta be straight with you – it's looking pretty grim for a paddle. The setup is a classic case of "don't get your hopes up." We've got a consistent reef break in Derecha de los Alemanes, and it's a consistent spot that's exposed to swell, but the wind is just killing it. The water temp is sitting at 75°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least you won't be freezing.
The whole 16-day window is a write-off for quality surf. Seriously, every single session is tagged with "poor surf conditions." The combined swell energy is there, rising from a weak 132 (combined energy of all swells directed here) to a moderate 493 by the 28th of August, but it’s all for nothing. The wind is relentless, blowing from the north and northeast, and it's a constant cross-onshore, sometimes cross-shore, but never clean. It's either choppy, lumpy, or has a cross-chop. Not a single glassy moment in sight.
The swell itself is short-period stuff, mostly 7-8 seconds, which means weak, disorganized waves. Even when the period stretches to 10 seconds on the 2nd of September, the wind is still on it, making it a mess. For a beginner-friendly reef break, this is a total nightmare. The best bet for anyone looking at this would be to leave the surfboard at home. With that strong, messy wind and the swell direction, this setup is honestly more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
So, to put it plainly: don't bother. There are no good surf options in this 16-day window. It's a blank run, and for this area, that's just how it goes sometimes. The forecasts can change, but right now, there's nothing to chase.
Rusty.
