The Lowdown
Alright, mate, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin' at Punta Mero. Straight up, this is a tough 16-day stretch. There's a real gap here – nothing really worth paddling out for until Thursday the 17th, maybe even longer. The water is sitting at a very unusual 81°, which is a solid 14° warmer than average for this time of year – feels like a bath.
The first hint of something is on Thursday morning the 17th. It's not a classic – we're talking a small 2ft SW groundswell, but with a period of 13 seconds, so there's some push in it. What makes it interesting is the wind is glassy - dead calm - with a light northerly air. That’d be clean, but with combined energy reading only 249, it's weak energy. That Thursday arvo gets chopped up by the 16 mph WSW wind, so the window is small.
Honestly, the best bet in this whole outlook is Punta Mero (point). It's a point break, which is a good thing because the long period swells – 16 to 19 seconds – are going to be a bit too straight for an open beach, but the point will wrap them in. It’s a fairly consistent break, so it won't be dead. The key is the early mornings. Look at Saturday morning the 26th: swell bumps up to 3ft from the SW, combined energy at 344 (moderate energy), and the wind is a light cross-onshore from the NW. It's not perfect, but it's the most energy and size we see. The real tease was Saturday the 19th, with a 19-second, 2ft swell and combined energy of 365 (moderate energy) and offshore wind from the W, but the score says it's poor conditions – likely a tide issue.
There's no standout classic day here. It's all about timing the clean morning windows. The rest of the period is a write-off: mostly onshore winds from the WSW and W, choppy as hell, or just tiny surf. The 27th and 28th see the swell fade back to 3ft with short period, so it's over.
Forget the afternoons – the W/SW winds will trash it. If you're desperate, dawn patrol on the 26th is the pick of a bad bunch. It's inconsistent, but when that SW swell wraps into the point, there might be a few lined up ones before the wind gets up.
Rusty.
