Table - best surf conditions forecast for El Canal (Rio de Bayamon) over the next 16 days.
Alright, I’ll give it to you straight. El Canal (Rio de Bayamon) is looking dead flat for the most part over the next 16 days, through July 26th.
There’s just no real surf to talk about. The swell heights are tiny — a few readings of 1.3m on the 11th morning, and some 1.0m days, but the period is short (mostly 6–8 seconds) and the wave comment is “poor surf conditions” for every single session. The combined energy is low, mostly under 100, with a few readings in the low 100s, but that’s not enough to get excited about.
This is a river mouth spot that rarely breaks, so this kind of stretch is normal. Swell direction is mostly from the ENE, but the break needs N swell to really work. The wind is a constant 20–30 km/h from the east, often cross-off, but with no swell, it doesn’t matter.
There’s no standout day here. If you wanted to go for a swim, the 11th morning has a 1.3m ENE swell with a 6-second period, but it’s poor quality and not worth paddling out for. Water temp is about average for the time of year.
Nothing doing. Forecasts can change, but right now, this one’s a skip.
