The Lowdown
Alright mates, Rusty here again. Let’s cut to it: the next 16 days at El Canal (Rio de Bayamon) are a flat-out desert. This sheltered river mouth barely ever breaks, and this forecast is a long, lifeless stretch of poor surf. The wind is a steady cross or cross-off breeze from the east, blowing 12 to 18 mph, so the surface stays clean but that’s about the only positive. Water temp is 84°F, right where it should be for this time of year.
The first half-decent chance comes on Saturday, July 26th, with a weak 4ft swell, but the period is a short 7 seconds, so it’s wobbly and weak. The combined energy is moderate (163). By the afternoon it drops to 4ft (140 energy). It’s clean enough for a beginner to get wet, but it’s not surf you’d write home about.
Monday, July 28th, offers a little more, with the swell at 4ft to 4ft and the period finally hitting 8 seconds. The energy ticks up (176 to 202), but it’s still labeled poor surf. The best of the bunch is probably the afternoon of Tuesday, July 29th, with 5ft of ENE swell, clean cross-off breeze, but that 6-second period kills the power. The waves will be weak and closey. Crowds are possible, but honestly, who’s gonna show up for this?
By August 1st and 2nd, the swell drops to 3ft and the energy fades. The final days on August 3rd and 4th are flat, with energy down to 29 and 41. For a spot that rarely breaks, this is a total washout. If you’ve got to paddle, the morning of July 29th is your best bet, but keep your expectations on the floor.
Rusty.
