The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Villa Gesell has got cooking for us. I’ll be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch ahead. The first surf that’s even worth paddling out for doesn’t roll in until Thursday, July 23rd, and even then, it’s nothing to write home about. We’re looking at a solid gap of several days with no real recommendations, so don’t get your hopes up for the early part of the week.
The best we’ve got on offer is a couple of brief windows where things get clean. Thursday morning the 23rd is the first flicker of hope. Villa Gesell sees a tiny 2 ft swell from the south, with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy is weak at 63, so don’t expect any power. However, the wind is glassy – absolute zero – which makes it a rare clean moment. The water temp is sitting at 50°F, which is about 2°F warmer than average for this time of year, so that’s a slight bonus but still cold. It’s a beginner-friendly sandbar spot, but it’s exposed to the swell. Because it’s so small and weak, it’s really just for the die-hards who need a fix.
Then, Sunday morning the 26th of July, we get another small window. A 2 ft swell from the east, 8-second period, combined energy of 77. The wind is offshore from the NNW at 6 mph, so the surface will be clean. Again, it’s tiny, but with offshore wind it’s the best shape you’ll see in this whole forecast. It’s still surfable, but very ordinary – nothing to get excited about.
Beyond that, it’s a whole lot of onshore wind, lumpy conditions, and weak swells. There’s a period of clean cross-offshore winds later in the week, but the swell is barely a ripple, with heights around 1 ft to 2 ft. Nothing really worth dragging the wetsuit on for.
So, to be honest, the standout here is Thursday morning the 23rd for the glassy conditions, and maybe Sunday the 26th for the clean offshore wind. If you’re desperate, get out there. Otherwise, it’s a quiet spell.
Rusty.
