The Lowdown
Righto, let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Tamarindo Playa Serena in Mar del Plata. We’ve got a bit of a mixed bag over the next couple of weeks with a real standout session to finish things off.
The water is a notable 51° at the start, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – you might get away without a thick steamer. The early part of the week is rough though; Sunday morning kicks off with a solid 10 ft SW swell, but it’s blown out by a 22 mph cross-off wind making it a bit of a dog’s breakfast. The combined energy is high at (1482), but the conditions are marginal. You’d be better off waiting.
Monday sees the swell ease to around 7 ft, but the wind stays cross or cross-on keeping things messy with a cross-chop. Not worth paddling out unless you’re desperate. Tuesday morning, 11th August, is where it starts looking interesting. We’ve got a 5 ft SSE swell with a nice 12-second period and light cross-off winds at 6 mph. The combined energy is strong at (1264), and it’s clean – excellent for experienced surfers. This is your pick of the first week.
Wednesday morning 12th August is almost as good – 5 ft S swell, 10-second period, and glassy conditions with wind at just 3 mph. The combined energy is moderate (807), but clean, glassy surf is always a treat. It’s a good one for a quieter session, but keep in mind the crowds can be sometimes here.
From Thursday 13th August onwards, things go a bit pear-shaped for a long stretch. The swell drops and the wind stays onshore or cross-shore, serving up poor conditions right through to the 23rd of August. There’s a gap of about 10 days where I wouldn’t bother.
Then, hold onto your board, because Monday 24th August is the real standout. We’ve got a solid 8 ft S groundswell with a very long 14-second period, and clean offshore winds from the NW at 12 mph. Combined energy is pumping at (2860) – strong to very strong wave energy. This is excellent surf for experienced surfers only; beginners should stay well clear. The long period means the waves will have real punch and shape, but at a beach break like this, it might break a little straight. Still, with those winds and that size, it’s the day to circle on the calendar. The morning and afternoon look good, so get on it.
