The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s look at the stretch ahead.
Honestly, we’re in for a slow one. The whole 16-day window is pretty flat and quiet. Playa de Arrigunaga is the only spot in the picture, and it’s not showing much. There’s a big gap of several days with no surf worth talking about, starting now and running right through the first week. The water is 74°, a touch warmer than average for this time of year.
We don’t see anything with any grunt until August 9th. That Sunday morning, we get a bump to 4ft out of the NNW with an 8-second period. The combined energy hits 226 (moderate), but the wind is straight onshore from the WNW – that’s gonna chop it up. By the afternoon it’s 5ft with 256 energy, but still onshore. This is a sandbar break, fairly exposed, and the swell direction is more north than the optimum NW. It’s going to be messy and hard to surf.
The 10th August Monday morning holds at 4ft with 157 energy, but again, onshore wind and a weak 7-second period. The rest of the week fades fast. By the 12th, it’s 2ft with glassy conditions, but the energy is barely 62 – clean, but tiny.
There’s no standout session in this whole outlook. The best you could hope for is the 9th or 10th of August if you don’t mind a bumpy, blown-out ride. Beginners should steer clear of 5ft with onshore wind – it’s a washing machine.
Plain and simple: this is a quiet spell. Company’s good for a flat day paddle, but don’t expect waves.
Rusty.
