The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break it down.
First off, I’ve gotta be straight with you—this is a rough run. We’re looking at a massive gap of nearly two weeks with nothing worth your time. From Thursday 30 July right through to Monday 11 August, it’s all flat and messy. The swell is tiny, the wind is all over the place, and the conditions are just garbage. If you’ve got a kite, maybe you’ll have fun, but for a surfboard? Not a chance.
Now, the one tiny bright spot. On Tuesday 11 August, early morning, Playa de Somo might give us a little shrug of a wave. Swell is only 3ft from the N, with a period of 6 seconds—so it’s weak, short-period stuff. The combined energy is just 80 (that’s weak, lads). But the wind is from the ENE at 15 mph, which is cross-offshore, and it’s clean. That’s the only time in the whole 16 days we get a score of 1 out of 10—so you know it’s thin. The water temp is 71°, which is about 2° warmer than normal for this time of year—nothing wild, but a little warmer than usual.
Honestly, don’t get too excited. This spot can be consistent, but right now it’s just not happening. If you’re really keen, that Tuesday morning is your best bet, but keep your expectations real low. The rest of the window is a total blank. Forecasts can change, but for now, I’d be looking for something else to do.
Rusty.
