The Lowdown
Alright, listen up, gang. Rusty here, and I’m calling it how it is: we’ve got a flat spell ahead.
For the first stretch, there’s a big gap with no surf worth talking about. The only break we’ve got is El Canal (Rio de Bayamon), and that’s a river mouth that "rarely breaks" anyway. Every single session in the next 16 days is marked as "poor surf conditions." The water temp is 84°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year. The energy is weak, with the first reading at 96.
From Thursday, the 23rd of July, through Sunday, the 28th, the swell is tiny – 2ft to 5ft from the ENE – with a short period of 7 to 8 seconds. The wind is cross-off or cross from the east, blowing 12 to 19 mph, so the surface is clean, but the swell is just too weak to push. The energy is all in the double digits – 96, 148, 214 – weak to moderate.
Going into the second week, from Monday, the 29th of July, to Wednesday, the 7th of August, it’s the same story. Swell stays small, never over 5ft, period stays short. The wind holds onshore or cross-off, with some cross-chop on the 1st and 5th of August. Energy drops right off – 20, 40, 63. There’s a little bump on the 6th of August (Thursday morning) with a 4ft swell from the NE at 9 seconds, but the energy is only 172 – still moderate, and the surf quality is still poor.
So, no standouts. It’s a blank run. For a spot that rarely breaks, this is pretty normal. Forecasts can change, but I wouldn’t hold my breath. No recommendations from me.
Rusty.
