The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: the next couple of weeks are looking pretty grim for a proper surf. We’ve got a run of tiny, weak swell and the wind is mostly going to be working against us. Honestly, if you’re hanging out for a wave, you might be waiting a while.
We start off this Wednesday with a dismal picture. The swell’s barely a ripple, and the morning’s 3ft of WNW swell is getting chopped up by a cross-onshore breeze. The combined energy is weak at 43, and it just doesn’t have any push. The water’s 77°, which is 5° warmer than normal for this time of year—that’s a big deal, the ocean’s feeling like a bathtub. By the afternoon, the wind swings onshore and it’s all over.
Thursday and Friday are more of the same. The swell drops off, the period is short, and we’re stuck with onshore and cross-onshore winds. It’s not even worth paddling out for the morning glass-offs because there’s simply nothing to ride.
Saturday morning, there’s a brief moment of glassy conditions, but the swell is only 2ft with a 5-second period—that’s just windswell mush. It’s clean, but there’s no power. Sunday picks up a touch to 3ft, but the wind is cross and it’s messy. We’re looking at a long stretch of nothing.
The following week doesn’t offer any hope either. The swell stays in the 0.7ft to 2ft range, and the period is mostly short. There are a few glassy windows on Monday the 10th and Wednesday the 12th, but even then, the waves are just too small to be fun. This is a blank run, plain and simple.
The only slightly interesting bump comes on Saturday the 15th, when the swell pushes up to 3ft from the W, but the combined energy is still weak at 51, and the wind is howling cross-onshore at 25 mph. It’s going to be a choppy mess. That day, and the next, are looking more like a kite-surfing session than a paddle-surfing one—the wind’s up, and the waves aren’t doing anything for us.
We don’t see any real standouts in this 16-day window. The break itself, Playa de Tres Piedras, is consistent, but with this little swell, that doesn’t mean much. The long-range picture is just flat. It’s a bummer, but it happens. The ocean’s been warm, and with a bit of luck, a proper swell will find its way here soon. Keep the board waxed, but don’t hold your breath.
That’s all from me. Stay salty.
