The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here.
It’s a rough stretch for the next 16 days. El Canal (Rio de Bayamon) is showing nothing that’s worth a paddle. The swell is tiny, the period is short, and the conditions just aren’t linking up.
The water temp is 84°F, which is average for this time of year.
From Saturday 25 July all the way through early August, there’s no quality to be found. Swell heights are between 3ft and 5ft, but the period is stuck at 6 to 8 seconds – that’s weak, short-period junk with no real push. The wave energy is low, mostly under 200 (combined energy of all swells directed here is 268 or 277, still weak). The wind is cross-off or cross, keeping the surface clean, but the waves are just poor. This spot rarely breaks anyway, and with this kind of weak, short-period ENE swell, it’s a no-go.
From 4 August, swell drops even more, down to 2ft with periods as low as 5 seconds. The energy numbers are pathetic – 29 and 48 (combined energy of all swells directed here). There’s a tiny blip on 8 August morning with a 2ft, 11-second swell from the NNE, but that’s a long-period groundswell that this sheltered river mouth won’t pick up. It’s a complete blank run, and for this area, that’s not unusual.
Bottom line: no good surf in the 16-day window. Leave the board in the car and wait for better days.
