Alright, let’s get into it. I’m lookin’ at the forecast for the next couple weeks and honestly, it’s a tough one. There’s not a single standout day in this whole 16-day window. The swell is tiny, the wind is messy, and the whole stretch is a bit of a flat spell.
We’re talkin’ about Bajo el Medio, a reef break that’s sheltered and picks up NW swell. Normally, it’s got some potential, but it’s an inconsistent spot, and this run lives up to that. The first week, from July 13th through the 20th, it’s all small, weak swell – we’re talkin’ 0.7 ft to 3 ft, mostly from the NE or NW, with periods between 5 and 9 seconds. That’s short-period, weak stuff. The combined energy barely cracks 100 (maxing out at 102 on the 18th morning), and the wind is always onshore or cross-onshore, so the surf is gonna be choppy and poor. The water’s a touch warmer than normal at 73°, but that’s not gonna save it.
Then we hit a real dead zone from July 21st to the 22nd, where the swell drops to 0.3 ft and 1 ft, and the wind is cross or cross-off, but there’s just no wave energy to work with. The energy numbers are in the single digits and teens. Not worth paddling out for.
The second week, from July 23rd onward, the swell picks up a little – 1.0 ft to 3 ft – but still weak, with period mostly 6 to 8 seconds. The wind stays cross or cross-onshore, and the energy never gets above 86. The whole outlook is a flat, blown-out mess. There’s nothing here that’s gonna get me excited.
Honestly, this is a blank run for the area. It’s normal for this spot to go through long quiet spells, and this is one of them. The forecasts can change, but right now, there’s no surf to chase.
