The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and I'm not gonna sugarcoat it. For the next 16 days, El Canal (Rio de Bayamon) is a total ghost town. This river mouth is a finicky spot that rarely breaks, and the forecast is showing us exactly why. It’s a full-on flat spell, with no surfable waves in the cards at all.
From September 2nd right through to the 17th, every single entry is a big fat zero. The combined swell energy is mostly weak, sitting at 32 (very weak) on the morning of the 2nd, and even when it bumps up to a moderate 233 on the 10th, the swell is still junk. The wave heights max out at around 4ft on the 10th, but with a period of only 6 to 7 seconds, it's just wind chop. The wind is mostly cross-off or cross, which would be fine if there was a wave, but there isn't.
For a spot that's already inconsistent, this kind of blank run is pretty normal. You'd be better off taking up kitesurfing if you're that keen, because there's nothing here for a paddle surfer. It's a bummer, but conditions can shift. For now though, keep your board in the car.
Rusty.
