Alright, Rusty here again, giving it to you in feet and miles per hour. So, for Rabbit/Manana Island, the outlook is just as bleak. The entire 16-day forecast is a write-off for decent surf – no good options at all. That ENE trade wind is relentless, and it’s gonna ruin any chance of clean waves on this exposed shore.
It all starts on Sunday, July 5th, with a messy 5.6 ft swell from the ENE, but the wind is cranking at 25 mph right out the gate. The combined energy is moderate (366), but it's all wind-chop. That same pattern repeats all week. Through the first week, swell heights sit between 5.6 ft and 7.5 ft, with energy climbing into the 500s (579 on Tuesday the 7th), but it’s totally wasted with the strong cross-onshore wind. The period is short, around 7 to 8 seconds, so it’s just bumpy and weak.
Into the second week, from July 13th onward, the swell drops back to around 4.9 ft to 5.9 ft, and the energy fades into the low 100s and 200s. The wind eases a tad, down to 19 mph and occasionally 16 mph, but it stays cross-onshore. Water temp is probably about average for the time of year, but you won't want to be in it. This is a blank run that’s pretty normal for this area when those trades lock in. Honestly, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. For us? Not worth the drive. Keep the wax in the wrap. Forecasts can turn, but this one’s looking locked in ugly.
