The Lowdown
Alright, let me break it down for you. Bajo el Medio, over near Rocky Point – it’s a sheltered reef that’s always been inconsistent, and through this whole 16-day window, it’s just not firing.
From Thursday the 10th of September, we’ve got a tiny 2ft swell out of the NE, but that north wind is rippin’ at 16 mph, blowing cross-onshore. It’s choppy and messy, combined energy only 22 – that’s weak. Water’s about 75°, a touch warmer than usual, but that doesn’t help the waves.
Friday the 11th and Saturday the 12th are more of the same – swell stays around 1ft to 2ft, wind picks up to 19 mph, lumpy and cross-onshore. Energy’s in the 30s and 40s. Not surfable.
Sunday the 13th sees the wind drop to 9 mph, but the swell’s down to 1ft. Still not worth it. Monday the 14th has a 12-second period but only 0.7ft of swell – energy at 35. You’d be waiting forever for a ripple.
The whole first week is a washout. Then from the 15th through the 20th of September, it’s dead – day after day of 0.3ft to 1ft, all with cross-onshore wind. Nothing.
On Monday the 21st, conditions finally clean up – cross-offshore winds from the WNW at 6 mph. Swell’s still tiny at 1ft to 1ft, period only 4 seconds. That’s windswell, no power. Energy’s at 8 or 13. It’s glassy, but there’s no push. Tuesday the 22nd brings a 13-second period with 0.7ft to 1ft of swell, energy jumps to 28-32. That long-period groundswell might stand up a little on the reef, but without size, you’re just looking at bumps.
The last few days, Thursday the 24th afternoon shows 2ft from the ENE with a 4-second period, and Friday the 25th has 1ft to 2ft with onshore wind. Energy hits 37 and 34, but it’s still poor.
No standout here. Not one day breaks the 3ft mark, and the wind is either cross-onshore or too light to matter. This reef is inconsistent and sheltered, so a blank run like this is pretty normal for the area. Keep the board in the bag, amigos.
Rusty.
