The Lowdown
Alright, let's have a look at what's coming up for Villa Gesell over the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, it’s a pretty quiet start. For the first several days, we’re looking at tiny, weak waves and winds that just aren’t playing ball. There’s a long stretch from now right through to early August where you’ll be wrestling with onshore breezes and lumpy, choppy conditions, or just flat, gutless swell. The energy is barely registering most of the time, with readings like 32 or 59. Honestly, it’s more of a beach day for a stroll than a surf session. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so don't expect a surprise there. There's a real dead patch in there – don’t bother checking it every day, it’s not going to change much.
Now, the light at the end of the tunnel shows up on Sunday, the 9th of August. That’s the one to circle on the calendar. We get a proper pulse of south swell, standing up to 6 ft, with a long period of 13 to 14 seconds. That’s proper groundswell energy, and you’ll feel it in the reading which jumps right up to 1118. It’s a heavy one though – that size with that much punch is strictly for the experienced crew. Beginners, take a hard pass. The wind is set to be clean, with a light breeze and even some glassy periods, so the surface should be looking slick. For an exposed sandbar like this, that long period can make it a bit straight, but when the conditions line up like this, it’ll be offering some proper, powerful walls.
The following morning on Monday the 10th is still solid at 6 ft and clean, but the energy is already starting to back off a touch. Still a good option, but Sunday is the real standout.
There’s another chance later on Wednesday the 12th, with a very clean, glassy morning and a solid 6 ft south swell. The energy reading of 620 is still strong, and that light wind is a major positive for clean faces. But again, it’s an exposed beach, and that swell is on the bigger side, so it’s for the lads with some experience under their belts.
Bottom line: wait it out through the first week-plus of flatness and junk wind. The best of the lot is definitely Sunday the 9th of August, with solid, clean south swell. Get on it if you can handle it.
