Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you – the outlook for Bajo el Medio over the next 16 days has me feeling a bit flat. We're looking at a long stretch of unrideable conditions, so let's get that out of the way right now.
The whole period is a bust. From now through to July 18th, every single session is rated as poor surf. The swell is tiny, barely a whisper, with heights mostly between 0.3ft and 2ft. The combined wave energy is consistently weak, ranging from just 4 to 32. The wind is never your friend here – it's a relentless cross or cross-onshore breeze, mostly from the north to north-northwest, kicking up chop and making a mess of any ripple that might try to form. You won't find a single window of clean, glassy conditions.
The water temp at the start of the period is sitting at 71°, which is about normal for the time of year.
It's a blank run for the full 16-day forecast. For Bajo del Medio, this sort of drawn-out, poor run is pretty typical – it's a spot that rarely gets going as it is, being inconsistent and sheltered. Don't hold your breath. Forecasts can change, but for now, there's nothing worth paddling out for.
Rusty.
