The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s on the cards for Derecha de los Alemanes. I gotta be straight with you—this one’s a tough read. We’re looking at a solid 16-day stretch, but honestly, there’s not a single moment in the whole window that’s worth paddling out for. The surf is just not playing ball.
The consistent reef setup here at Derecha de los Alemanes is usually a reliable beginner-friendly spot, but the wind is the enemy for the entire forecast. Starting from Monday, August 3rd, right through to Tuesday, August 18th, it’s a relentless run of moderate to fresh cross-onshore breezes, mostly from the north and north-northeast, blowing at 15 to 22 mph. That’s wrecking any chance of clean waves. The swell is there, bumping around from 2 ft up to 6 ft, but it’s almost all short-period windswell (6 to 9 seconds), and it’s coming from the north—which is not the optimum direction for this break. The combined energy of all swells directed here swings from a weak 93 up to a moderate 354, but with the wind tearing it up, it’s all just messy, choppy, and lumpy. The wave comment is a consistent “poor surf conditions” with a score of zero out of ten right across the board.
There’s a brief moment on Wednesday afternoon, August 5th, where the swell switches to the west-northwest with a much longer 11-second period, giving a bit of shape, but the wind is still cross-shore and messy. It’s not enough to save the day. Later, around Friday, August 7th, and Saturday, August 8th, the swell does pick up a bit of period (8 to 10 seconds) and the energy climbs into the 300s, but the wind remains a stubborn cross-onshore. It’s just not clean.
So, what’s the call? There are no standouts. No hidden gems. This is a complete blank run for the area. The water temperature anomaly isn’t even mentioned in the data, so it’s likely about average for the time of year, but you won’t care about that when you’re staring at chopped-out lines. The setup here looks far more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, given the persistent onshore breeze and moderate swell. We’ll have to wait for the forecasts to change.
Keep your head up, though. It tends not to stay this poor for long.
Rusty.
