The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s check out what’s cooking for the next couple of weeks.
Straight up, it’s a rough one. No real green light for a paddle-out in the whole 16-day window. The only break on the list is Boca del Abajo, a reef and point setup that’s consistent and exposed, but it’s strictly expert territory. The water temp is 73°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, so you won’t be freezing.
The pattern is a bummer. From Tuesday 21 July right through the end of the month and into the first week of August, we’ve got a constant, strong NNE wind blowing straight onshore. The swell is there, but it’s short-period, wind-driven junk with periods mostly between 6 and 8 seconds. The combined swell energy is moderate to strong, but it’s all wind and no quality. The waves are lumpy, blown out, and just plain ugly. This is more of a kite-surfing deal than a surfing one.
The biggest swell hits on Saturday 25 July and Sunday 26 July, with heights around 8 ft, but that’s paired with a strong breeze up to 28 mph, and the period is still a short 8 seconds. That’s not a groundswell – it’s just messy wind-slop. For a spot like Boca del Abajo, which needs clean lines, this is a total write-off.
Into the first week of August, the wind stays onshore and the swell fades. By Tuesday 4 August, wave heights drop to 2 ft with weak energy, and the period is down to 6 seconds. Even if the wind eased, there’s nothing to ride.
So, bottom line: no good surf options across the entire 16-day forecast. The break is consistent, but the wind direction and strength are killing it. Forecasts can change, but right now, leave the boards in the car and find something else to do.
