The Lowdown
Alright, fellow wave hunters, Rusty here. Let's get straight into it for our little stretch of coast.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you: the next 16 days are looking like a proper flat spell for Playa de Tres Piedras. We're talking about a long, drawn-out gap of pretty much nothing worth paddling for. The swell energy is tiny, the wind is mostly onshore or cross-shore, and the conditions are just... flat. There's no standout, there's no "best on offer," just a whole lot of waiting. For the first week especially, from Friday the 14th right through to at least the end of next week, the surf is going to be minimal. The water’s warm though, at 78°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least a swim will be pleasant.
Let’s break it down day by day. Starting on Friday the 14th, expect tiny 1ft waves out of the west and southwest. The wind's not playing ball – Friday morning has a light cross-off breeze, but by afternoon it swings onshore. It's all pretty hopeless. Saturday the 15th is similar: 2ft to 2ft and messy. Sunday the 16th, still tiny. You'll see a few glassy moments early Monday the 17th with a 0.5ft swell, but it’s barely a ripple.
The middle of the week doesn't offer any relief. Tuesday the 18th through Thursday the 20th sees the swell drop to 0.5ft to 2ft, with periods as low as 3 to 4 seconds – that's just wind chop. Onshore winds dominate. The same story continues into the second week. Friday the 21st offers a tiny bump to 2ft but with a moderate onshore wind. The weekend of the 22nd and 23rd stays small, though Sunday the 23rd morning brings a clean 3ft swell from the WSW with a light cross-off breeze. That’s about the most promising window, but at 3ft, it's still a long way from good. The last week of August goes flat again, with waves barely hitting 0.5ft to 2ft and mostly messy, choppy conditions.
The bottom line? This is a blank run. Playa de Tres Piedras is a consistent spot, so it tends not to stay this poor for long – normally we’d have something to work with. But for the whole 16-day window, the combined swell energy barely reaches a 31 (moderate) on the best morning of the 24th, and it's usually in the single digits. That's weak, weak energy. If you're desperate for a paddle, maybe the clean little 3ft on the morning of Sunday the 23rd or Monday the 24th might give you a few soft little rollers, but don't expect anything with any push. The setup is more interesting for a kite with these winds than for a surfboard, to be honest.
Stay patient, check the charts again in a few days – this can change.
Rusty.
