The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, checkin' in with the outlook for Playa de San Lorenzo.
Honestly, the next week and a half is pretty quiet. We're looking at a real slow start, with nothing worth paddling out for right through until July 27th. There's a big gap of a few days here where you can leave the board in the garage.
The water is warm, sitting at 71°, which is more than three and a half degrees warmer than what we’d normally expect for this time of year – that’s pretty notable and means you’ll be comfy in just a spring suit right now.
Finally, on Monday the 27th of July, we get a pulse of life. A NNW swell pushes through, around 6ft, with a period of 10 seconds, giving us some moderate wave energy (686). The wind is cross-on from the ENE at 6 mph, so it’s not gonna be clean, but there'll be a bit more power in the water. That Monday morning is your best bet if you’re desperate for a paddle, but the conditions are only marginal, so don’t expect perfection.
Tuesday the 28th sees the swell dropping back to 4ft, still with that 10-second period, and moderate energy (368). Still cross-on winds from the NE, so it's pretty much the same story – marginal surf, but it's surfable if you're keen.
Then there’s a bit of calm on Wednesday the 29th, with the swell dropping to 3ft. But here's the interesting part – the morning we get glassy conditions with winds from the NE at just 3 mph. The waves are small and a little ordinary, but when it's glassy like that, Playa de San Lorenzo can be real fun on a longboard. That’s your hidden gem in this quiet stretch.
After that, we're looking at a real mix of small, junky waves with choppy onshore winds right through to the start of August. On Saturday the 1st of August, we get another glassy morning but the swell is small, only 4ft, from the NW with a 10-second period, and the energy is moderate (236). It's surfable, but ordinary.
Honestly, there’s no real standout session here for the whole 16 days. If you're itching to get wet, the best window is that glassy Wednesday the 29th for a clean, small-wave cruise, or maybe the Monday the 27th morning for a bit more size despite the messy wind. Otherwise, it looks like a kite-surfing kind of stretch if the WNW winds pick up – stronger wind on choppy waves is more their game than ours.
Rusty.
