The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for Bajo el Medio. I gotta be straight with you – it's a tough stretch ahead. The whole 16-day window is looking pretty bleak for this spot. There's not a single day where the conditions come together for a decent paddle. We're looking at a long, empty run here.
This is a sheltered reef break that needs a good push from the NW to work right, but all we've got is a constant stream of cross-onshore winds and tiny, weak swell. The water temp is sitting at 75°, which is about 2° warmer than usual for early September – nothing too crazy, just a touch on the mild side.
First up, on Sunday the 6th, it's a write-off. N wind at 16 mph, cross-on, with a tiny 2 ft NNE windswell. The combined energy is a measly 28 – just no power there. It's the same story all through the first week and into the second. The biggest swell we see is a 3 ft NNE pulse on Wednesday the 9th, but the energy only bumps to 127, and it's still got a cross-on wind from the NNE at 12 mph. That's not going to clean it up. The period is short, around 7 seconds, so it's just wind-affected slop.
We get a little glimmer around the 13th and 14th, where the wind lightens right up – a 3 mph cross-shore from the NNW on the 13th morning, or a 9 mph onshore from the ENE on the 14th morning – but the swell is basically non-existent at 0.7 ft to 1 ft. The energy is in the teens and thirties. Not enough to even stand up on.
For the entire second week, from the 13th all the way to the 21st, it's more of the same. Tiny NW or NE swells, cross-on winds, and energy readings that barely crack 50. It's just not doing anything. This break is inconsistent at the best of times, and this forecast is showing us exactly why. It's a real bummer, but sometimes the ocean just goes to sleep. We'll have to wait for the next system to light a fire under this place. Stay tuned, forecasts can always flip.
