The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin' for Boca del Abajo over the next couple of weeks.
Straight up, I gotta be honest with you – this is a grim run. We've got a solid 16-day window on the books, but it's a total non-starter for paddle surfing. The entire first week and a half is just one long stretch of junk. The swell is coming from the north-northeast, which is the complete wrong direction for this reef and point break; the optimum is from the northwest. On top of that, we've got a brutal, strong onshore wind howling out of the north-northeast, smashing up what little bump is out there. The combined swell energy is running from a moderate 618 up to a strong 951 at one point, but none of that matters with that wind angle. It's all just blown-out, messy, poor surf conditions from Thursday the 24th right through to Sunday the 3rd of August.
Water temp is sitting at 72°F, which is pretty much average for this time of year, not that you'd want to be out there in this mess.
The swell does start to shift a little around Saturday the 1st of August, coming from the west-northwest with a bit longer period of 9 seconds, but the waves are tiny at just 3ft to 3ft and we're still stuck with onshore and cross-onshore wind. The energy dips away, then picks back up a bit around Tuesday the 5th, but the model keeps calling it "poor surf conditions" right through to Saturday the 8th.
The only sliver of something a bit different is by Monday the 3rd of August, the direction goes northwest and the period stretches to 10 seconds, which is more of a proper groundswell direction for the spot. But the heights are only about 3ft, and the wind is still onshore from the north-northeast. It’s just not enough.
What can I say? This is a rare blank run for a break that is normally consistent. But with the wind locked in onshore and the swell direction wrong from the jump, it's a total write-off for the whole 16-day window. If the waves and wind stay like this, the setup is honestly more interesting for the kite surfers than anyone with a paddle.
Rusty.
