Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's take a hard look at what's on the table for Playa de Somo over the next few weeks. Gotta be straight with you—this is a tough outlook.
We are starting with a real flat spell. There’s nothing worth paddling out for right now. For the first week, from Tuesday the 7th all the way through to Monday the 20th, the swell is tiny or junk. We're looking at waves mostly under 2ft, with short, weak periods. The wind is often cross-on or onshore, chopping everything up. The combined swell energy barely gets into double digits most days – we're talking energy readings as low as 5 to 68, which is just sad. This stretch is a write-off for anything resembling a decent surf.
The only glimmer happens on Monday the 20th. The swell finally lifts a little. We get a pulse of 3ft to 4ft from the NW, but here's the kicker – the wind is howling. On Monday morning we've got a fresh breeze from the W at 22 mph, turning into a strong breeze from the WNW at 25 mph by the afternoon. This makes for lumpy, messy conditions. The combined energy hits 120, which shows there's some power, but the 6-second period makes it a short, choppy windswell. Honestly, with that much wind and that kind of surface, it looks more interesting for kite surfing than a proper paddle session. Same story holds for Tuesday the 21st with moderate cross-shore winds.
The last few days do clean up a bit. Wednesday the 22nd offers some clean conditions with a light cross-offshore breeze from the ENE, but the swell is only 2ft from the NW with weak energy (74). It's a small, clean wave for a longboard, not a standout.
Sorry, mates, there are no standouts here. The whole 16-day window is a bust for decent surf. It’s one of those periods where the forecast can only improve, but right now, it’s a solid stretch of flat and poor conditions.
Rusty.
