The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what’s coming up for Playa de San Lorenzo. It’s a bit of a slow start, but there’s a proper little pulse brewing for those who can wait.
The water temp here is sitting about average for the time of year, nothing unusual to report. For the first week or so, it’s pretty quiet. Friday the 7th and Saturday the 8th are basically a write-off with tiny, poor surf. We’re talking ankle-snappers at best with combined swell energy struggling to get past 50 (weak). Sunday the 9th morning sees a tiny bump, but it’s barely surfable.
Things stay in that “ordinary” zone through to the middle of next week. Mornings are your best bet with light glassy conditions, but the swell is small – mostly in the 1ft to 2ft range from the NW. The combined energy stays under 100 (weak), so it’s a longboard or a big fish kind of session if you’re keen.
Now, the standout. Keep your eye on Sunday the 16th. The morning session is looking like the first real highlight. We’ve got a clean 5ft NW swell pushing in with glassy conditions. The combined energy jumps to 295 (moderate). That’s the kind of morning that makes the wait worth it – clean, fun-sized waves for the intermediate crew.
The following Monday the 17th keeps the size going, around 5ft to 6ft from the WNW, but the quality drops off. The morning is glassy but the period is short (6 seconds), making it a bit junky. By Tuesday the 18th morning, we see the biggest swell of the run: a solid 7ft from the NNW with a combined energy of 732 (strong). That’s expert territory. If you’re a confident charger, that Tuesday morning with glassy winds could be absolutely firing, but it’ll be a handful for most.
After that, the swell backs off into the following week. Thursday the 20th morning has another decent pulse at 4ft from the NW with clean glass, but it’s not as strong as that Sunday-Tuesday window.
So, to sum it up: the first week is flat and forgettable. The real action kicks off Sunday the 16th morning and peaks Tuesday the 18th morning. Sunday is your best all-rounder for clean, manageable waves. Tuesday is the big one for the experienced crew. Get on it.
Rusty.
