The Lowdown
Alright, mates. Rusty here with a look at what's coming down the pipeline for our local stretch. Gotta be straight with you from the jump – this isn't a roaring start. We're looking at a long, quiet spell before anything even remotely rideable shows up. Playa de Tres Piedras is a beginner-friendly, consistent spot, and it's usually exposed to the swell, but for the next week and a half, it's going to be a tough watch.
For the first 12 days, right up until the 24th of September, we've got a flat spell on our hands. There's some tiny, disorganised energy bumping through, but nothing with enough size or push to even call it surf. The wind is all over the place, mostly onshore or cross-on, and while the water is sitting at a very warm 76°F (a huge 4°F warmer than normal for this time of year), that's about the only positive. The combined energy values are barely registering, often in the single digits (19, 4, 2), which tells you the ocean is practically asleep. It's a long, dry gap.
Now, we finally get a little flicker of life on the morning of Wednesday the 25th of September. We’ll see a tiny pulse of swell at 3 ft from the SSE with a short period of 5 seconds. The combined energy climbs a bit to 44, which is still weak, but it's something. The wind will be a clean cross-off from the ESE at 15 mph, keeping the surface tidy. That afternoon the swell stays the same size but the wind cranks up to a strong 25 mph, still cross-off. It'll be clean but blown out for a standard log. Honestly, it's a small window of small surf.
After that, the forecast goes totally flat again, with combined energy dropping back down to 1 and 5 right through to the end of the 16-day window. There's nothing else on the cards that’s worth paddling out for.
So, to be clear, the only date worth having in your diary is the morning of the 25th of September, and that's for beginners looking for a clean, friendly push. The rest of the forecast period is a write-off. Don't bother waxing up until then.
Rusty.

Information about the Playa de Tres Piedras Surf forecast

A general guide to surfing at Playa de Tres Piedras can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.
