Alright, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you about El Canal (Rio de Bayamon). It's a river mouth setup, beginner-friendly but it rarely breaks, and this run is a tough one. We're looking at a 16-day stretch starting from Tuesday the 7th of July, and honestly, there are no good surf options in the entire window. Every single day is marked as poor surf conditions.
For the first week, from the 7th to the 13th of July, there's some swell but it's messy. Swell heights bounce between 0.3ft and 5ft with a short, weak period of 6 to 9 seconds, coming from the ENE with a solid 16 to 19 mph cross-offshore wind. The combined energy is moderate at best, peaking around 237, but the quality is just not there for a proper paddle. The water temperature is about average for July, nothing wild.
Then we hit a real flat spell. From the 13th through to the 15th, swell drops to nearly nothing – 0.7ft to 1.0ft, energy readings in the teens and twenties. It's not worth getting wet for a surf. That gap of really small to no surf lasts for a few days.
Things try to bump up around the 15th of July with a pulse back to 3ft, but the period stays short at 7 seconds and the wind is cranking at 19 mph from the E and ENE. The combined energy climbs back into three digits (113), but it's still a poor surf call with cross-off and cross winds. This pattern of weak, short-period swell and strong wind holds through to the end of the forecast on the 22nd.
The truth is, for this stretch, if you're paddling out, you're fighting wind and small, weak waves. For a spot that's already inconsistent, this is a long, quiet run. Forecasts can always change for the better, but right now, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
