The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and I’ve got the lowdown on Boca del Abajo for the next couple of weeks. Let’s be straight with each other—this isn’t a classic run of form. It’s a bit of a grind to get to the good stuff.
The pattern starts with a proper rough patch. Strong, onshore northerly winds are going to mess things up for the first week. From Saturday the 5th right through to Saturday the 12th, it’s mostly poor surf conditions with onshore or cross-onshore wind. The swell is there, mostly 4ft to 6ft from the north, but with these winds, it’s going to be a choppy, lumpy mess. The combined wave energy is moderate, ranging from 130 up to 587, but it’s all wasted energy with that wind. Honest, it’s a write-off for paddle surfing. With those strong winds and a beach-and-reef setup, this period looks more interesting for kite surfing.
Now, we do get a break. Sunday the 13th is the standout. The morning is glassy—a beautiful, rare moment. A light WSW wind, zero speed, and the swell is a clean 4ft from the north with a period of 8 seconds. The energy is moderate (275). It’s clean, it’s glassy, and it’s the best on offer. The afternoon holds up with a light cross-offshore breeze keeping it clean, though the swell drops a touch to 4ft.
Monday the 14th morning is also a good one. The wind turns offshore from the SSE at 9 mph, keeping the 3ft north swell well-shaped and clean. The energy is still moderate (224). This is a great window for a few clean waves before the conditions fade.
After that, the swell starts to fade and the onshore wind returns, so the surf quality drops off again for the rest of the second week. There’s a sliver of hope on Sunday the 20th morning with a light cross-offshore breeze and a 5ft NNE swell (energy 211), which is clean, but it’s a long way out and less certain.
For the first break we mention, the water temperature is 75°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
The standout is definitely Sunday the 13th, with that glassy morning. The other decent window is the morning of Monday the 14th. Outside of that, don’t get your hopes up.
Rusty.
