Puertecillo Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright lads, Rusty here with the lowdown. Puertecillo is gonna have some sessions over the next couple weeks, but you need to play it smart. Water temp is pretty much what you'd expect for this time of year.

We kick things off proper Monday morning, September 14th. Clear skies, a light cross-off breeze, and a clean 4ft swell from the SW with a long 15-second period. That’s a solid moderate energy reading (989). This is your top pick for the first week. That long period means proper waves at the point, not just whitewash. Tuesday morning (15th) is a very solid follow-up with 4ft at 13 seconds (638) and that same light wind – still clean as a whistle.

The week middles out after that. Wednesday morning (16th) drops to ankle-knockers, and the rest of the week gets mixed up with some clean windows and some choppy slop. Thursday morning (17th) is worth a mention – 4ft of short-period windswell (7 seconds) but completely glassy. It won't have any punch, but it'll be clean fun. That afternoon the wind kicks in and ruins it.

Saturday morning (19th) brings a clean session with 4ft, dead calm. Sunday the 20th is a gift too – glassy in the afternoon with 4ft again. Good weekend paddling.

Now listen up. Thursday the 24th, morning session – glassy start with a clean 5ft W swell at 11 seconds (590). That’s gonna be a very good session. But the big boy is Saturday morning, September 26th. That’s your second standout – a 6ft W groundswell with a 12-second period (1242). That’s strong to very strong energy, and with light cross-off winds, this is for the experienced crew only. Over 5ft, it's too big for beginners. Get out there first thing. The afternoon gets trashed by a fresh 18 mph cross-wind, so it's a dawn patrol mission.

After that, it fades into smaller, weaker conditions through the end of the month. The 28th and 29th are tiny with no juice.

So, to put it plain: Monday the 14th and Saturday the 26th are your two calls. Don't sleep on them.

Rusty.
