The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here, with the imperial numbers.
We’ve got a solid 16-day window ahead, but honestly, the whole run is a bit of a write-off for paddle surfing. The swell is there, no doubt, but the wind is just relentless. The entire forecast period is hammered by strong onshore winds from the NNE and N, blowing at 18 to 28 mph. That’s going to absolutely trash the surface. We’re talking pure chop and windblown slop. There’s no real standout period; it’s all pretty average.
The only break on offer is Boca del Abajo, a reef and point setup that’s for experts only. It’s consistent and exposed to the swell, which is a shame because the swell direction is NNE to N, and the optimum here is NW. So the angles are all wrong. The water temp is around 73°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but you won’t be feeling the warmth with that wind howling.
Let’s walk through it. Starting Tuesday, July 21st, we’ve got 7ft of 8-second NNE swell, with 25 mph onshore wind. The wave comment says it all: “poor surf conditions.” Wednesday the 22nd is the same story: 6ft, 7-second period, 22 mph winds. Thursday and Friday the 23rd and 24th offer no relief. By Saturday the 25th, the swell pumps up to 10ft, but it’s still 28 mph onshore wind. That’s not surfable; that’s a washing machine for experts only. The same pattern continues through the end of July and into August. The swell stays between 5ft and 10ft, but the wind never lets up, staying in the 15-28 mph range, all onshore. By the 29th, we even get a “cross-on” reading, which is just as bad. The period is short, mostly 7-8 seconds, so it’s just windswell.
The final week into August is the same. From August 1st to the 5th, the swell drops a little, with heights around 4ft to 7ft, but the wind is still onshore at 15-22 mph. There is not a single session in this entire 16-day window that I’d recommend. The wind is going to be on it every single day. For a setup like this, with that much swell and that much wind, this is honestly looking more interesting for kite surfers than paddle surfers. There’s plenty of energy there, but it’s all blown out.
So, to be blunt: there are zero good surf options in the 16-day window. You’d be better off staying home.
Rusty.
