The Lowdown
Alright, grab a coffee. Let me talk you through the next couple weeks in feet and degrees.
Honestly, this forecast is a rough one. There’s very little to get excited about. The only spot we’re watching is El Canal (Rio de Bayamon). It’s a river mouth that rarely breaks, so it needs everything perfect. The water temp is about 84°F with basically no anomaly - normal for this time of year.
It starts on Saturday, August 15th with some hope: a 7 ft swell from the ENE with a short period of 7 seconds. The energy is moderate at 483. But the wind kicks up to 30 mph from the East as a cross-off, ruining the shape. This holds through Sunday, where the swell drops to 5 ft and the energy falls.
Then we hit a long, flat dead zone. From Monday, August 17th through to Tuesday, August 25th, the swell is tiny (0.7 ft to 3 ft) with energy readings between 8 and 166. The wind is stubbornly cross to cross-off from the East at 15 to 30 mph. It’s complete junk.
The one decent window comes on the afternoon of Tuesday, August 25th when a 4 ft swell from the ENE shows up with a long period of 11 seconds and 351 energy. The wind is cross-off from the East at 30 mph. It’s the biggest pulse of the run, but the conditions are still listed as poor.
The best session is the morning of Wednesday, August 26th. Swell is still 4 ft from the ENE, period is a clean 10 seconds with 283 energy, and the wind finally drops to a light 9 mph from the SE, still cross-off. That’s the cleanest surf you’ll see, but it’s only a “surfable but ordinary” kind of day. After that, it’s back to tiny, weak waves right through to the 30th.
The call: Wednesday the 26th in the morning. It’s your only real shot at a clean wave. But for this break, in this stretch, don’t count on much. It’s mostly a waiting game.
