The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ve got to be straight with you – the next 16 days at El Canal (Rio de Bayamon) are about as exciting as a flat tyre. The finder shows zero recommendations for this whole stretch, and when you dig into the guidance, it’s a real downer. This break is a sheltered river mouth that rarely breaks, and it’s basically a beginner’s spot when it does work. For the next two weeks, there’s nothing to get your fins wet for.
Starting Thursday the 30th of July right through to Friday the 14th of August, every single session is marked as “poor surf conditions.” The swell is tiny, maxing out around 5 ft on the 12th of August, but even then the period is short – around 7 seconds. The wind is cross-off or cross-shore, never clean offshore, so the surface is always bumpy. The combined energy of all swells directed here is mostly weak (73 to 385 – moderate at best on the 12th), but the quality is just not there. The swell direction is ENE, which is not the optimum direction for this spot (N is best), so the waves are messy and weak.
The water temperature is about average for the time of year, nothing special. The crowds are marked as “sometimes” but with the quality this poor, you’ll have the place to yourself – and that’s not a good thing.
There’s a brief spike on the 12th of August with swell hitting 5 ft and combined energy hitting 385, but it’s still short-period and cross-off, so don’t fool yourself. It’s not worth the drive. Honestly, this is a blank run, and for a spot that rarely breaks anyway, it’s just a normal stretch of nothing. If you’re desperate, you could paddle out for a few knee-high sliders, but your time is better spent elsewhere. Forecasts can change, but right now, there’s no surf on offer.
Rusty.
