The Lowdown
Hey crew, Rusty here. Look, I gotta be straight with you – the next 16 days from July 14 through July 29, there's just no surf worth paddling out for at El Canal (Rio de Bayamon). This river break is a tricky one – it rarely breaks, and when it does, it needs a solid northerly swell to get things going. But the forecast shows pretty much everything except north: weak little pulses from the east and east-northeast, mostly under 3–4 ft, with short periods around 6–10 seconds. The wind is cross-off or cross from the east, 15–19 mph – would be fine if there was any swell, but there isn't. The water temp is a comfortable 83° – about average for this time of year. Honestly, for a spot that only works on a rare north swell, a blank 16-day run is pretty normal. Don't hold your breath – but forecasts can change, so keep an eye out. Rusty.
