The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get stuck into what's on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough one to swallow. We're looking at a long stretch of flat, messy conditions for the entire 16-day window. The first session that even gets a nod is Saturday morning, 1st August, and even then it's a marginal call. The swell is tiny at 4 ft from the NNE, with a short, weak period of 7 seconds and a light cross-onshore breeze. The water is a touch warmer than normal at 73°.
The real kicker is that after that, it's pretty much a write-off. For the next week and a half, we're stuck with onshore winds from the north or north-northeast blowing at 12 to 22 mph, keeping everything choppy and lumpy. The swell hangs around in the 4 ft to 6 ft range, but it's all short-period, weak windswell. The combined energy is weak, barely cracking 200 to 300 (when you see digits like 207, 219, 286, you know it's fluff). The whole setup is just poor surf conditions.
The only break in the game is Boca del Abajo, a reef and point setup. It's an expert-only wave, and it's consistent, but with the wind howling onshore, it's going to be a mess. Honestly, with this persistent, strong onshore wind and short-period chop, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
There is a tiny glimmer way out at the end. On the 11th and 12th of August, the swell pushes up to 7 ft to 7 ft and the period stretches to 8 seconds. The combined energy jumps into the moderate range, around 484 to 571. But the wind is still onshore from the NNE at 12 to 16 mph. It's bigger, but still messy. For a spot that really likes a clean NW swell, a NNE windswell is just about the worst direction you can get. It's not going to be the classic wave that spot is known for.
So, bottom line: there's no standout session here. The entire 16-day forecast is a blank run. The wind just won't let up. Keep the board in the car, but maybe don't bother with the wax just yet. Forecasts can change, but this one's looking pretty grim. A blank run like this is more normal for this area, unfortunately.
Rusty.
