The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s look at what’s coming up for Villa Gesell over the next couple of weeks. First thing you need to know: it’s a pretty quiet stretch overall. There are plenty of days where the surf is just too weak or messy to get excited about. The water is sitting at about 51°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so the chill isn’t as biting.
We’re looking at a long gap of mostly poor conditions right through to the first weekend of September. Thursday morning the 3rd offers the first surfable waves, with a small 2ft easterly swell and clean conditions thanks to a light westerly cross-offshore. It’s very weak energy though, only hitting 79 on the scale. That’s the best on offer for a while, but it’s tiny.
The next real standout comes much later. The surf starts to pick up around Saturday the 12th, but it’s blown out. The Sunday morning of the 13th is worth mentioning: a cleaner 3ft south-southeast swell with a long 13-second period. The energy is moderate at 445. A solid offshore from the west-southwest will keep it clean. That’s your pick of the whole window if you’re desperate.
For the very end of the run, the 17th and 18th of September show some pulse. On Thursday afternoon the 17th, the swell hits 3ft from the south-southeast with a clean 9-second period and a nice offshore wind. The energy is moderate at 172. Then Friday the 18th brings a bigger 4ft south-southeast swell, but the cross-onshore wind makes it choppy. It’s a trade-off.
Honestly, for a consistent sandbar like Villa Gesell, this is a long, flat spell. The best surfing will be on the 13th of September morning, but keep your expectations low for anything with real punch.
