Table - best surf conditions forecast for Bajo el Medio over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you – this is a tough one to write. I've stared at the forecast for Bajo el Medio, and honestly, it's a total bust for the next 16 days. We're looking at a long, dry spell with no real surf to speak of.
The first recommendation doesn't even pop up until the 12th of July, and even then, it's not something you'd paddle out for. We're stuck in a pattern of tiny, weak swell. The energy is barely registering, with the combined energy reading only 30 (weak energy) on that first Sunday morning. The swell is a measly 1 ft from the NW, with a short period of 8 seconds. To make matters worse, the wind is a messy cross-onshore breeze from the NNE at 9 mph, chopping up what little bit of wave there is. The water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year at 73°, but that's cold comfort when you're looking at flat, bumpy water.
The entire 16-day window is plagued by the same story. The swell never gets above 2 ft, and the wind is almost always onshore or cross-onshore, right up to the 27th of July. The only slight change comes around the 21st and 22nd of July, when the wind shifts to a cross-shore from the NW, but the swell is still ankle-deep at 0.7 ft. It's a frustrating run for a break that's known to be inconsistent, so this kind of blank period, while disappointing, is not entirely out of character for the area.
There is simply no standout session here. The conditions are consistently poor, and the setup is more interesting for a kite than a paddle. The best I can say is keep an eye on it; forecasts can change, and it tends not to stay this poor for long.
Rusty.
