Focene or Baraonda Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.

First up, I gotta be straight with you: the next two weeks are looking pretty flat around Focene. There’s just not much to get excited about. We’ve got a long stretch ahead with hardly any rideable surf. The first few days are especially quiet, so don’t expect much.

Sunday morning, September 6th, you’ll see a tiny bit of swell—only 1 ft from the WSW, with a short period of 4 seconds. That’s weak energy (7), and the wind is light offshore from the NE, so it’ll be clean, but there’s just no power. It’s really only for beginners or anyone who just wants to sit on a board. The water is sitting at 82°, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year—over 5° above average, so that’s pretty unusual.

Monday morning, September 7th, is even smaller, with just 0.3 ft and almost no energy (1). After that, from Tuesday through the rest of the week, we’ve got days with zero swell. There’s a gap of several days with no surf on offer at all.

We finally see a slight bump on Thursday, September 10th: 1 ft in the morning (7 energy), building to 2 ft by afternoon (21 energy). That’s still short period at 4 seconds, so it’s weak and bumpy. Wind is cross-offshore from the SE, so it’ll be clean enough, but the waves are tiny and gutless. Not worth paddling out for anything decent.

Friday, September 11th, gives us a touch more—2 ft in the morning with a slightly longer period of 6 seconds (30 energy). Glassy conditions with light ENE wind, so it’ll look pretty, but again, the size is just too small for any real fun.

After that, from September 12th to the 16th, we bounce between 0.3 ft and 1.0 ft, mostly with weak energy (1 to 3). Winds are mostly cross-off or glassy, so the water will be clean, but you’d be lucky to catch anything you could call a wave. The period stays short—3 to 4 seconds—so it’s just wind chop.

The final few days, from September 17th to the 21st, remain tiny, with the biggest being 2 ft on the 19th afternoon (17 energy). That’s still very small, and the wind turns cross-on from the WNW, so it’ll be messy.

Honestly, there’s no standout session here. The best you could hope for is maybe Friday morning, September 11th, with that glassy 2 ft, but it’s still a beginner-only affair. Don’t expect any real waves—this is a long, flat run. It’s the kind of spell where forecasts can change, so keep an eye out, but right now, leave the board at home.
