The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Derecha de los Alemanes.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – the next two weeks are looking pretty grim for a proper paddle. The whole 16-day window is a tough one. We’ve got a solid run of days with no real recommendation at all, stretching from the 1st of September all the way through to the 12th. That’s nearly two weeks of poor surf conditions and not a single call to get wet. The wind is a persistent problem, mostly blowing cross-on from the north or north-northeast, and it’s often fresh, keeping things lumpy and chopped out. The swell is there, but it’s mostly short-period windswell, around 6 to 8 seconds, and it’s just not clean enough to bother with.
The combined energy is moderate on some days – like the 8th of September, where it hits 540 – but with that onshore wind, it’s a mess. 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 while you watch the chop roll by.
The first real glimmer of hope comes on the morning of the 13th of September. It’s still only a 1 out of 10, and the comment says "marginal," but the wind drops to a light breeze. The swell is 5ft from the north at 8 seconds, which is a short period, and the energy is solid (392). The wind is light cross-on, so it’s not ideal, but it’s the first time in this outlook that the waves might actually be surfable, even if it’s a bit of a slog. The 14th of September morning is similar, with a 4ft north swell and light cross-on breezes, but again, it’s marginal.
The 15th of September brings a bit of a tease. The swell drops to 3ft, but the period jumps to 12 seconds – a proper groundswell. The combined energy is 302. The wind is cross-shore, which is a much better angle. The problem is the size is small, and with that long period, it’s going to be very inconsistent. For a reef break like Derecha de los Alemanes, that long period can actually be a bonus, offering cleaner shape, but the sets will be few and far between. It’s still a poor surf rating though.
Honestly, if you’re desperate, the 13th and 14th of September mornings are the only real windows, and even then, keep your expectations low. The rest of the time, with the consistent onshore flow and lumpy conditions, this setup would actually be more interesting for a kite surfer than a surfer.
For now, I’d say save your energy. The forecasts can change, so keep an eye on it, but this isn’t one to rush out for.
Rusty.
