The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here, and I’ve gotta be straight with you – this is a quiet, drawn-out outlook for Playa de la Cagonera. Over the next 16 days we’re looking at a lot of knee-to-waist high slop with very few windows of clean conditions. The standout mornings are the ones with glass, but they’re brief and the swell is small. Let’s run through it.
We start off Wednesday morning, 9th September, with a glassy, calm surface – a gift. Swell is a modest 4ft out of the NW with a short 8-second period, and the combined energy is weak (327). The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing weird. That’s the best we get for the first few days.
Thursday the 10th is a write-off with cross-onshore wind and confused waves. Friday morning 11th sees another glassy window, but it’s only 2ft from the NW at 10 seconds – tiny, weak energy (120). Saturday 12th is even worse, with a 2ft NW swell and only 47 for energy. Sunday 13th morning pushes up to 4ft from the NNW at 13 seconds, and the energy hits 611 – moderate – but the wind is cross-onshore and spoils it. That’s the biggest swell of the whole period, but it’s messy.
Monday 14th and Tuesday 15th are poor, though Tuesday morning turns glassy again with a tiny 2ft NW swell. Wednesday 16th morning has a clean little 2ft from the NW (104 energy), but it’s ordinary. After that, we hit a long, dull stretch from Thursday 17th through to Monday 21st – mostly small, cross-onshore, and poor. The best of that run is Saturday 19th morning when it’s glassy and 4ft from the NNE, but the period is only 6 seconds – short, weak, and lumpy. Energy at 219.
Then Tuesday 22nd morning gives us a clean 5ft from the NE with a 6-second period (193 energy). It’s the biggest clean swell of the whole run, but that short period means it’ll be soft and fat. Still, it’s the one to aim for if you’re desperate. Wednesday 23rd morning has a glassy 2ft from the NW with a very long 18-second period (331 energy) – that’s a groundswell, but it’s so small it’ll barely break. Maybe a longboard glide.
Honestly, there’s no true standout. If I had to pick one, it’s Tuesday 22nd September morning for the clean 5ft NE swell, but it’s not going to light anyone’s fire. The rest is mostly flat or blown out. This is one of those stretches where you’d be better off cleaning the wax off your board and waiting for a proper pulse.
