The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let's break down the next couple of weeks at Playa de Traba.
The vibe is a bit of a mixed bag, to be honest. A long stretch of average conditions, but a couple of moments where things could really line up. Water temp is about normal for this time of year.
We start on Monday the 7th, but it's not a great opener. You've got a 6ft swell from the WNW with a 12-second period, but the wind is a cross-on from the NNW, messing up the surface. The wave energy is moderate at 1075. The afternoon looks worse as the wind picks up. Not the one.
Tuesday the 8th is a washout. The morning has a clean look with a 4ft swell and a cross-off breeze, but the energy is weak (290). The afternoon turns into a choppy mess with a 6ft swell and onshore wind.
Wednesday the 9th sees a spike in energy, with a 6ft swell from the NNW and a 12-second period pushing moderate energy to 1107 in the afternoon. But the wind is a strong cross-shore, creating a real cross-chop. It's powerful, but messy.
Thursday the 10th through to Tuesday the 15th is a real grind. Mostly small swells, weak energy, and cross-shore winds. The water is going to be lumpy. There's a 7ft swell on Sunday the 13th, but it's got that same cross-wind problem. The wave energy is strong (1678), but it's not clean.
Now, the real standout, the one to circle on your calendar, is Monday the 21st and Tuesday the 22nd of September. It's a ways out, so keep that in mind, but the charts are promising.
On the morning of Monday the 21st, we get a 4ft swell from the W with a cross-off breeze from the ENE. The wind is light, the surface is clean, and while the energy is weak (272), the quality should be there. The real magic is Monday afternoon. The wind goes glassy, NNE at only 3 mph. The swell drops a touch to 3ft from the NNW, but it's glassy. A clean, smooth face to work with. It's a small, clean, fun wave.
Then Tuesday the 22nd morning keeps that glassy feel with a light SW wind and a 4ft NNW swell. It's small, but it's clean. If you're a beginner or just want an easy session, this is your window.
That's the best window we've got. Everything else is a fight against the wind and chop. For the experienced crew, the bigger swells with the cross-winds might be fun for a kite, but not for a paddle.
Keep your eyes on that last week. Fingers crossed.
Rusty.
