Alright, Rusty here again, let’s talk about Playa de la Cagonera in feet and miles per hour.
The water’s sitting at about 69°, which is a touch warmer than normal for the season. But the surf story is grim.
From Tuesday the 7th of July, the swell is tiny – 1ft from the NW. Winds are light, mostly sideshore or side-off, so it’s clean, but there’s no grunt. The wave energy is weak, reading between 16 and 47. You might find a knee-high ripple, but it’s poor surf. This flat spell hangs around. Through the 7th right up to the 11th, the swell never gets above 2ft. The swell periods are short, 8 to 10 seconds. The energy does climb to 97 on the morning of Saturday the 11th, but that’s still weak.
From the 12th to the 14th, there’s a tiny bump. Swell stays around 2ft to 2ft. The morning of Tuesday the 14th is glassy with a light north wind, but the swell is too small and short (6 seconds) to surf. Energy is weak (32).
The second week is more of the same. From the 15th of July right through to the 22nd, it’s a struggle. Swell heights bob between 0.6ft and 3ft. On Wednesday the 22nd, there’s a glassy morning with a 3ft, 6-second swell from the north. The energy goes up to 76 – still only moderate. But the period is too short. Winds are mostly light but often onshore or cross-onshore, so it’ll be bumpy.
There are no standout sessions. The whole 16 days is a bust for proper surfing. If the swell ever gets a little bigger with these side-off winds, it might look better for kite surfing than paddling. The only faint hope is the glassy mornings on the 21st and 22nd, but the swell is too weak.
That’s the long and short of it. Forecasts can change, but right now it’s a flat spell.
Rusty.
