The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's take a hard look at what’s on the table for Punta Xarraca. I gotta be straight with you: it’s a tough stretch ahead. For a spot that’s already inconsistent, this 16-day run is looking pretty bare for most of it. The first few days are dead flat, and there are big gaps where there’s just nothing worthwhile.
The only real pulse of energy comes from a swell on the 10th of September. Thursday morning sees a pulse of about 7ft swell from the NE with a period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy jumps up to 808 (moderate), but it’s coming in with a strong cross-onshore wind from the NE at 19 mph. That’s going to make things lumpy and messy, definitely not the clean, peeling waves we’d want. That’s more of a kiteboarding day than a surfing day, to be honest. The afternoon drops to 5ft swell, still onshore and choppy with a 291 energy reading. Not good.
After that, the swell fades fast. By the morning of the 11th, we’re back to tiny 2ft waves. The whole second week from the 14th onward is a write-off with no proper swell, just tiny, weak dribble or flat conditions, and often with onshore or strong winds making it even worse. There’s a short window on the 13th (Sunday) where we see 2ft from the NE with a 9-second period, giving a weak 77 energy reading, and light offshore/cross-off winds. The report calls it *surfable but very ordinary*, and that’s about the best we get, which isn’t saying much.
This break is best with a NNE swell direction, but we don't get that combo with any decent size and clean wind. It’s a frustrating outlook. The water is very warm, about 82°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, but you’ll be sitting on a flat ocean enjoying it, not surfing.
So, to sum it up: there are no real standouts here. The best of a bad bunch is the morning of the 13th of September, with tiny 2ft waves and clean conditions, but it’s barely surfable. The bigger swell on the 10th is ruined by the wind. It’s a long, dry patch until maybe that little bump on the 13th. Forecasts can change, and this spot can come alive with the right angle, but as it stands now, leave the boards at home.
Rusty.
