The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a bit of a tough stretch ahead. We’re looking at a long blank run with nothing really worth paddling out for. The whole forecast is dominated by these persistent cross-shore winds that just won’t let up, leaving the surf choppy and weak. The swell energy is mostly low, with a combined energy reading of just 105 (moderate) at the start, and it barely gets better. The water temp is sitting at 81°, which is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The one spot on the radar is Punta Care / Camuri Grande, a point break that’s fairly consistent and works best on a NE swell. It’s a beginner-friendly wave, but it can get crowded sometimes. The winds are coming from the ENE most of the time, which puts it in a cross position, not ideal. The swell is always small, mostly around 3 ft to 5 ft, and the period is a short 7 seconds, so it’s just weak, jumbled energy.
The first real chance to even think about a paddle comes on Thursday, September 10th. The morning swell picks up to 6 ft from the ENE, with a period stretching to 8 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to 476 (moderate). The wind is still cross-shore from the ENE at 15 km/h, but the surf might be borderline. By the afternoon, it drops to 6 ft with a cleaner 8-second period, and the wind eases off to a light cross-shore at 10 km/h. It’s still not great, but it’s the best we’ve got. The break is a point, so it handles the longer period better than a beach break would. Friday, September 11th morning holds a similar 6 ft ENE swell with 7-second period, but the cross-shore wind is back up to 15 km/h, making it messy. After that, we’re back to nothing.
So, if you’re desperate, keep an eye on the morning of the 10th. It’s not a standout, just the least bad option. The rest of the 16 days is a write-off.
Rusty.
