The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s cooking for Tamarindo Playa Serena (Mar del Plata).
Right off the bat, the water’s sitting at 51°F which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, so that’s a nice little gift from the ocean.
Things start quiet. The first real session to get excited about is Monday morning the 7th. We’ve got a clean 4ft swell rolling in from the SSE with 8-second period and a moderate offshore breeze from the NW. Combined wave energy is sitting at a moderate 246. It’s a beginner-friendly spot, so that’s some fun, clean, small waves to kick off the week.
Monday afternoon drops a notch to 3ft from the SE with 9-second period (209 energy), but the wind stays clean offshore. Good for a longboard or a mal if you’ve got one.
The real standout though, the one to circle on the calendar, is Sunday the 13th. That morning we get a clean 5ft ESE swell with an 8-second period and a light offshore breeze from the NW. The wave energy jumps to a strong 538 and the conditions are described as very good. This is the pick of the bunch. Sunday afternoon holds at 5ft ESE with a longer 10-second period (778 energy), and a cross-offshore breeze, so you could surf all day.
Monday the 14th also looks solid with 4ft from the East at 11 seconds (382 energy) and a moderate offshore. Clean and punchy for a beach break.
Now, a heads up. From Wednesday the 16th onward, things get a bit messy. The swell really kicks in but it gets big. Wednesday morning sees 8ft from the South at a very long 12 seconds (1679 energy), but the wind is only moderate offshore. Still, that’s expert-only territory. Thursday the 17th is an absolute beast with 12ft SSE groundswell at 14 seconds (over 4000 energy), but the file says it’s too big for this break even with clean wind. Only for the truly brave or the kamikaze crew.
From the 19th through the 22nd, the winds get funky and the quality drops off a cliff. There are small, short-period swells with onshore or cross-shore winds. Not worth paddling out for.
Summary: Hit it Monday the 7th for some clean, small fun. But if you want the best, Sunday the 13th is your day. Get on it before the ocean goes bananas.
Rusty.
