The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let me tell you what we've got right now. It's a pretty bleak stretch for the next sixteen days, if I'm being honest.
We're looking at El Canal (Rio de Bayamon) and, frankly, there's nothing on the cards that gets the blood pumping. This spot rarely breaks as it is, and over this whole forecast window, the combination of small swell and wind that's all wrong just keeps the waves flat and messy. There's a long gap here with no real surf to recommend. The energy just isn't there. For the first week and a half, from Tuesday 1st September right through to nearly the middle of the month, we're seeing tiny heights, mostly around the 0.7 ft to 4 ft mark, with periods that are short and weak. The combined swell energy is consistently in the low to moderate range – we're talking values like 25 to 191, which is just gutless. The wind is a constant cross-off or cross breeze, never truly glassy, which just chops up what little ripple there is. It's a bummer, because El Canal is a sheltered river mouth, and it needs a perfect alignment of a northerly swell to work, but we're getting ENE and E pulses that just don't get in properly.
The best of a bad bunch would be that Wednesday 9th September afternoon, where we see a bump to 4 ft from the east with a period of 7 seconds. The swell energy jumps to a moderate 191, but the cross-off wind from the east at 16 mph will keep it bumpy. It's still not good, and it's a river break that rarely turns on. It’s more of a "if you're desperate" kind of window. For the rest of the period, it's a no-go. The whole thing is just one long, disappointing lull. Don't hold your breath.
Stay patient, check the horizon.
Rusty.
