The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a straight look at what’s coming up for Boca del Abajo.
Honestly, this is a tough stretch. The whole 16-day window is pretty much a write-off for decent surf. We’re looking at a solid two weeks plus of poor conditions, day after day, with no real standout windows to get excited about. The wind is just relentless.
Right from the get-go, Sunday morning the 9th of August, we’ve got a clean 6ft swell from the NNE, but the wind is howling onshore at 19 mph, making a mess of it. The combined swell energy is weak at 279, and the period is a short, choppy 7 seconds. That pattern just locks in. Monday and Tuesday are the same story: onshore wind, poor surf, and weak energy readings around 187 to 301. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so nothing unusual there.
The wind doesn't let up. Wednesday through to the following weekend, it’s still onshore or cross-onshore, with the swell hovering around 5ft to 6ft, but the period stays short, under 8 seconds. The energy does climb a bit – by Saturday the 15th we see 412 – but with the wind blowing a fresh 19 to 22 mph, the surface is just too lumpy for a paddle board. This setup is honestly more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
Heading into the second week, the pattern stays the same. The swell drops a little, down to 3ft to 4ft on Monday the 17th and Tuesday the 18th, but the wind is still onshore and the period is short. By Wednesday the 19th, the swell picks back up to 6ft with an 8-second period and energy of 379, but again, it’s onshore at 19 mph. The last few days, from the 22nd to the 24th, are a mix of cross-onshore and onshore winds with small, weak swell. The period shows a bit of life on the 23rd, hitting 9 seconds, but the cross-onshore wind ruins it.
I can’t pick a standout here because there just isn’t one. Every single day is marked as poor surf conditions. The wind is the enemy, and it’s not letting up. For a spot that’s an exposed reef and point break, this is a long, frustrating run. Hang in there, folks. Forecasts can change, but for now, I’d leave the board in the car.
Rusty.
