The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are lookin' flat as a pancake around here. We've got a real dry spell on our hands.
Playa de San Juan is a beginner-friendly beach and reef setup that's exposed to any swell that might roll in, but it's inconsistent and rarely does anything special. Right now, the water's a touch warmer than normal for the time of year, sittin' at 27°, which is nice for a paddle but there's just no push behind it.
The first few days are a total write-off. Tuesday the 1st and Wednesday the 2nd are all tiny, short-period wind slop with cross-onshore breezes messin' up the little bit of texture there is. Thursday the 3rd through Monday the 7th of September we're lookin' at glassy conditions but with swell heights barely hittin' 1.0 ft to 1 ft and periods of 4 to 5 seconds, the combined energy is basically nothin' (values like 5 or 6). It's a total flat spell. That streak of useless surf carries on right through until the 14th of September.
Now, there's a tiny flicker of hope on the horizon. On Tuesday the 15th of September, the morning session shows a little pulse. We've got a 2 ft swell coming from the NE with a period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy bumps up to a modest 48. The wind is a light cross-offshore from the NW, which should keep it clean. It's still gonna be very ordinary and small, but for the first time in weeks, it's technically surfable. The swell's too small to worry about direction matching the optimum SE, and it's definitely only for the longboard or foiling crew.
Honestly, the standout option – and I'm using that term loosely – is Tuesday morning the 15th at Playa de San Juan. It’s the only window where you might get a knee-high wave that isn't blown out. The rest of the 16 days? Forget it. For kite surfers, the afternoon seabreezes might give you somethin' to play with, but for a paddle surfer, this is a hard pass. Forecasts can change, but right now, it's a tough stretch.
Rusty.
