The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Gotta be honest with you – the next couple weeks look flat as a pancake around here. The only break we’ve got is El Canal (Rio de Bayamon), and it barely ever breaks. Over the full 16-day stretch, there’s really nothing worth getting wet for.
Water temp at the start is about 85°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year. But the swell? Forget it. From Monday the 14th all the way through, the combined swell energy is mostly under 100 (weak), with tiny waves – 0.7ft to 3ft – mostly from the east or northeast, and short periods between 6 and 9 seconds. Winds are cross-off or cross, keeping the surface clean, but there’s just no power.
The only little blip is on the afternoon of Friday the 25th September – a 2ft pulse from the north-northeast with a 10-second period and light offshore wind. The energy jumps to 141 (moderate). Still, the wave comment says “poor surf conditions”, and this spot is super inconsistent. It’s a sheltered river mouth that needs a lot more push.
Honestly, save your gas. If you’re itching, that Friday the 25th afternoon might give you a tiny window, but don’t count on it. El Canal is a beginner-friendly river break when it works, but this stretch is a classic dry spell for the area. It’s just how it goes here.
Signing off, Rusty.
