The Lowdown
Alright folks, let's be straight about this one. Rusty here.
For Playa de Tres Piedras, a spot that's usually pretty consistent for beginners, this 16-day window is looking extremely bleak. The surf is just absent. For the first stretch, we're talking about swell that barely reaches your ankle. The biggest bump in the whole run comes Friday afternoon, the 28th of August, with a 3ft wave from the west, but a strong cross-onshore wind is going to chop it up and ruin any chance of a clean ride.
Sunday morning, the 30th of August, the wind goes dead flat, glassy. That's a treat for the surface, but with the swell at a mere 1ft and a 5-second period, there's absolutely no power to work with. You’ll be floating, not surfing. The water is a very warm 77°, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year.
There’s a tiny pulse on the 3rd of September, Thursday afternoon, pushing 3ft from the SSE, but with a short 5-second period. The wind is a clean cross-off from the southeast, but it's a stiff 22 mph, and the wave energy is only 42, which is weak. The direction is from the wrong angle, too.
Across the full 16 days, every single note in the forecast reads "poor surf conditions." There just isn't a single day worth highlighting. If you’re desperate to get wet, maybe that glassy morning on the 30th or the glassy Thursday the 10th of September will let you sit on a longboard, but the waves won't come. With consistently poor waves and onshore wind, this spot looks better for a kite surfer than anyone trying to paddle. We're looking at a real dry spell here.
Rusty.
