The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break this down.
The only spot in the mix is El Canal (Rio de Bayamon). Problem is, it rarely breaks, and for the whole 16 days, every session is listed as “poor surf conditions.” No good options in the window at all.
From Sunday, 26 July through the end of the month, we’ve got small swell running 3 ft to 5 ft out of the ENE, but the period is short – 6 to 8 seconds. Winds are cross-off from the East, but blowing a steady 12 to 19 mph. That’s enough to mess with the surface. The combined wave energy maxes out at 265 on the 30th, but the quality still stinks. Water temperature is about 84°, normal for the season.
Into August, nothing shifts. First week of August keeps on pumping tiny swell: 2 ft to 4 ft, still weak and short. Winds stay 16–19 mph from the East. The period drops as low as 5 seconds a couple of days – that’s pure mush.
From the 7th of August, the swell tries to come from the NNE with periods up to 10 seconds, but the heights are tiny – 1 ft to 2 ft. Most days the combined energy is under 100, barely a ripple.
There are stretches, like around the 4th of August, where the cross-shore wind lays down a chop. For a setup like this, you’d be better off on a kite than a paddleboard.
It’s a dead run. No standouts, no real swell. This sort of quiet spell is normal here. Could change, but don’t hold your breath.
Rusty.
