G'day, Rusty here. Look, I've been staring at the charts for the next sixteen days, and I gotta be straight with you—this is a rough one for Boca del Abajo. For the first ten days, the wind is just relentless, blowing straight onshore from the north-northeast, and it's trashing every bit of swell that rolls in. It's a classic case of "looks good on paper, terrible in the water." The water's a touch warmer than normal for this time of year at 73°, but that's about the only silver lining.
We start off Sunday the 12th with a bit of NNW swell at 4ft, but with a 9 mph onshore breeze, it's a complete write-off. That sets the tone for the whole first week. The wind picks up, and through Monday the 13th and Tuesday the 14th, it's the same story—small, weak swell and onshore wind. Honestly, it's not even worth paddling out.
By Wednesday the 15th and Thursday the 16th, the swell starts to build, getting to 5ft, but the wind is howling at 19 mph from the NNE, making it choppy and lumpy. The energy is picking up, but the quality is zero. Friday the 17th and Saturday the 18th see the swell push over 7ft, with the energy climbing. But again, with the wind locked in from the north at 19 to 22 mph, it's a washing machine. For a beach-and-reef setup like this, the conditions are more suited to a kite session than a paddle one.
The only real standout, and I mean the *only* one, is Wednesday the 22nd in the morning. We get a bit of a reprieve with the wind swinging light and cross-shore from the WNW at just 9 mph. The swell is a solid 6ft from the north with a period of 10 seconds, giving it some decent energy. It's still a "marginal" call, but that's the best we've got in the whole run. It's a small window of cleaner, cross-shore conditions. But get out before the afternoon, because the wind goes back onshore again.
The last few days, from the 23rd to the 27th, are rinse and repeat: onshore wind, messy surf, and dropping swell. It's a tough run, folks. The spot is consistent, but when the wind is this bad, it doesn't matter.
Rusty.
