The Lowdown
Alright folks, it’s Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – the outlook for Playa de la Cagonera is a tough one for the next 16 days. We’re looking at a long stretch of small, messy, and generally uncooperative surf.
The first real chance of anything rideable won’t show up until Monday, the 17th of August. That’s a solid stretch of over a week with nothing worth paddling for. Before that, we’ve got tiny, weak waves with poor winds and the occasional glassy moment that just doesn’t have any swell behind it.
So, let’s jump to the standouts. The best of a mediocre lot is Monday morning, the 17th of August. The wind goes dead calm, glassy as it gets, and we see a touch of energy from the NW swell at 2ft, with a period of 10 seconds. The combined energy hits 104 (moderate), which is the most juice we see in the whole period. It’s still just “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions”, so don’t expect barrels, but it’s the only window where the stars align even slightly. This is a sheltered spot, so that NW swell is the direction it wants to see.
Then, Wednesday morning, the 19th of August, offers a similar story. Another glassy morning with a 4ft swell from the N, but the period is a short 7 seconds, so it’ll be a bit bumpy and weak. The combined energy is 116 (moderate), so there’s a bit more push, but the short period puts a cap on quality.
For the rest of the time, it’s a mix of onshore winds, tiny swells, and an energy reading that rarely gets out of the 30s or 40s. The water temp is a touch warmer than normal at 71°F with a 3°F anomaly, but you won’t care about that when you’re bobbing around on a 2ft wave. Honestly, this stretch is a write-off for paddle surfing. The whole setup is sheltered and small, so if you’re desperate, maybe look at it for a kite session on the few afternoons with a bit of cross-off breeze, but that’s about it.
The forecast can always change, but for now, wait for the 17th, or just don’t bother.
Rusty.
