The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. I’ve been staring at the charts for El Canal (Rio de Bayamon), and I gotta be honest with you—it’s looking grim. This is a river mouth, it’s sheltered, and it rarely breaks. Over the full 16-day window, there’s nothing that screams “go get wet.”
The first few days are a total washout. Saturday the 29th has a 4ft swell from the ENE, but the wind is a cross-offshore at 16 mph and the period is a short 7 seconds. The energy is weak (220), and the conditions are just poor. There’s a tiny glimmer on Sunday the 30th afternoon: a 6ft NE swell with a 10-second period, and the wind goes offshore from the SSE at 6 mph. That’s clean, with moderate energy at 979, but for a spot that rarely breaks, it’s a long shot.
After that, it’s flat and boring. From Monday the 31st all the way through Saturday the 5th of September, the waves are tiny, wind is mostly cross-off, and the energy is pathetic. We’re talking 0.3ft to 3ft swells with periods of 6 to 9 seconds. Not worth a look.
The only other pulse is on Sunday the 6th of September. The morning shows a 5ft swell from the ENE with a nice long 11-second period, and a gentle cross-off wind at 9 mph. The energy is moderate at 431. That’s the best-looking swell in the whole run, but it’s a week out and the spot is so inconsistent. It might offer a few clean waves, but don’t hold your breath.
From Monday the 7th right through to Sunday the 13th, it’s back to the same story: weak 2ft to 4ft swells, short periods, and steady cross-off winds. All poor. For a spot that rarely breaks, this is a normal quiet spell. The water is warm, about average for the time of year.
With the persistent winds and weak swell, this setup looks more interesting for a kite than a surfboard. I’d sit this one out.
Rusty.
