The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this 16-day window for the Bayamón river mouth is a tough one. There isn't a single day in the forecast that’s offering a decent surf option. The finder is basically blank, which, truth be told, isn’t unusual for a sheltered, rarely-breaking setup like this.
The whole period is a washout, so don't bother getting your hopes up for the next two weeks. The guidance points to one spot: El Canal (Rio de Bayamon). It’s a sheltered river break that rarely breaks, and this forecast proves it. There's no standout, no best day – just a lot of "poor surf conditions" from September 5th all the way through the 20th.
The few moments where a little energy tries to show up, like Wednesday September 9th and Thursday September 10th, you see a combined swell energy creeping up to (165) and (210) – that’s moderate energy – with chest-high swell of 4 ft to 4 ft from the ENE. But that short period of 6–7 seconds means it's weak, wind-affected slop. The wind is always cross-off from the east, blowing at 12–16 mph, which keeps it choppy and ugly. It’s a write-off for surfing.
Honestly, with those persistent side winds and the small, weak swell, this setup at a sand-and-river bottom looks way more interesting for kite surfing than for paddle surfing. Don't waste your wax.
Rusty.
