The Lowdown
Hey crew, Rusty here. Let’s get into it for El Canal (Rio de Bayamon). I gotta be honest, it’s a tough one.
This river mouth is a sheltered spot, and for the next 16 days, we are completely skunked. From September 7th all the way to September 22nd, there are exactly zero recommendations. It’s a dead run. Every session in the data is marked “poor surf conditions,” with wave heights barely a ripple. You’re looking at swell from 0.6 ft to just over 4 ft on the best afternoons, but the energy is pathetic – usually under 200, with a lot of readings in the double digits. The combined swell energy tops out at 245 on the afternoon of the 10th, but it’s still not enough to get anything rideable.
The wind is mostly a cross-off breeze from the east, blowing 12 to 18 miles per hour, which would be fine if there was a wave, but there isn’t. Water temp is about 85°, pretty normal for the season. The optimum swell direction for this break is from the north, and we just don’t see that. We get a tiny blip from the north-northeast on the 13th, but it’s barely 0.6 ft.
This spot “rarely breaks” as it is, and this forecast is a textbook example. For this area, a blank run like this is par for the course. It won’t stay this way forever, but right now, you’d be better off parking the surfboard and just enjoying the breeze. There is no surf to recommend.
Rusty.
