The Lowdown
Right, grab a coffee, pull up a stool, and let me tell you what's cookin' for Playa de San Lorenzo. It's a bit of a mixed bag, to be honest.
We're looking at a long, frustrating stretch of flat and messy conditions. Honestly, for the first twelve days, from now through the 15th of August, it's a total write-off. The swell is tiny, the energy is weak, and the waves are just a mess. You're looking at combined energies barely scratching 100 (54), and often way lower, with not a single wave breaking over 4 ft. It's all "poor surf conditions" day after day, and that's just the truth. You might think about a longboard on a glassy morning, but even then it's a struggle.
You'll get a few glassy mornings, like the 4th, 5th, 8th, and 13th, but the swell is so small it's barely a ripple. The wind is often light, but the waves just aren't there. It's a tough run.
Now, the first real glimmer of hope doesn't come until the morning of Sunday the 16th of August. That's a long wait. We get a bit of a pulse of NW swell, 4 ft, with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 147 (moderate). The wind is glassy from the north, which is a beautiful thing. It's not going to be pumping, but it'll be "surfable." The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no worries there.
Then, on Monday the 17th of August, we have another chance. The morning sees a 3 ft NW swell, still with a short 7-second period, but it's glassy again from the NNE. The energy is still moderate (110). It's still not world-class, but it's clean and rideable.
The Standout: If you're desperate for a paddle, you have to be patient. The absolute best we've got is the Sunday morning, the 16th of August. It's the biggest, cleanest option on the entire forecast. Don't expect barrels, but it'll be a nice, clean session on a longboard with a few mates. The break is fairly exposed to the NW swell, and it's consistent, so it'll be breaking. Crowds are often here, so you'll have company.
The afternoon of the 16th and the rest of the week after that drops back into the poor quality zone. The 17th morning is your second option, but the 16th is the one to circle.
Hang in there, it's been a flat spell, but it will turn.
