The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for Playa de Tres Piedras over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I'm looking at this forecast and my heart sinks a little. The entire 16-day window is a flat spell. There's no surf to get excited about, not one standout session. The energy is just not there. The only real size we see is a couple of pulses on the 21st of September, with some swell hitting 3 feet from the SSE, but even then the combined energy is only moderate at 48, and the wind is howling, making it a choppy, onshore mess. Not for the paddle board.
The water is running much warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 77°. That's a big anomaly of 5°, so it's going to feel like a bath out there, but with nothing to ride.
For the first week, it's a lot of glassy mornings and clean conditions, but the swell is tiny—0.7 ft to 1 ft at best. The wind does swing around nicely, like on the morning of the 11th with a gentle offshore from the NE, or the 12th morning with a clean offshore from the ENE. There are a few windows of glassy conditions too, like the afternoon of the 7th and the afternoon of the 12th. But with waves that small, it's just flat and pretty. You'd be better off with a longboard and a lot of patience, or just leaving the board at home.
The second week drags on the same way. The morning of the 15th is glassy, the morning of the 16th is glassy, the morning of the 19th has a light offshore and is clean. But the swell is still barely a ripple. The 21st of September is the only day with any real push, but with a small period and strong onshore winds, it's not a surfable option. Honestly, for an exposed beach break like this, when the wind is up and the swell is junky, it looks more like a kiteboarding setup than a surfing one.
So, the bottom line? There's nothing doing. It's a total blank run, and for this area, these long flat spells can be normal. Don't hold your breath. The forecasts can change, but right now, I'd hang the wetsuit up for a bit.
