The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here again. Looking at the numbers for Boca del Abajo, and it’s a pretty grim picture for the next fortnight. The wind just has it beat, and the only window we get is tiny and right at the tail end.
We kick off on Saturday the 15th of August and it’s a rough start: 2ft of short-period windswell from the NNE but with a fresh 19 mph onshore wind. The water temp is about average for the time of year at 73°. That same pattern sticks: onshore or cross-onshore winds from the north and north-northeast at 15 to 25 mph, with swell from 3ft up to over 7ft by the 24th. All of it is short-period, 7 to 9 seconds, so it’s just lumpy, gutless chop. The combined wave energy climbs into the high hundreds on the 24th, but that doesn’t matter when the wind is shredding it. For two weeks, it’s just no good.
Then we get to Saturday the 29th of August. That morning it goes glassy, with a tiny 3ft swell from the NNW. Period is a short 7 seconds, and the combined energy is a weak 84. It’s rideable if you’re desperate, but it’s small and weak. The afternoon drops even smaller to 2ft, still glassy.
This reef and point break is exposed, so it needs the right conditions. For most of this forecast, we don’t get them. A kiter would be stoked on the 23rd and 24th of August with 7ft+ waves and strong cross-onshore winds at 22 mph. For a surfer? Nothing doing.
Your only shot is that Saturday the 29th of August morning session. Barely a standout, but it’s all we’ve got. Keep the board waxed, but don’t hold your breath.
Rusty.
