The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Bajo el Medio.
Straight up, I’ve got to be honest with you – this 16-day window is looking pretty flat. The surf is small and the conditions are messy for the most part. There’s no real standout window, and the first proper recommendation doesn’t come until the middle of the second week. It’s a long, quiet stretch.
The first bit of interest shows up on Monday, September 14th, in the morning. We’ve got a tiny 1ft NW swell, but the wind is glassy – dead calm from the ENE. That’s a rare moment of clean conditions, but the swell is just too small to get excited about. The water temperature is sitting at 75.4°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
After that, we move into Tuesday, September 15th, with a 0.7ft NNW groundswell, period up to 11 seconds, and light offshore winds from the NE. It’s clean but tiny. The energy is weak (13), so you’re really just bobbing around.
The most promising period comes around Thursday, September 17th. The morning shows a 1.6ft NW swell with a 14-second period, which is a nice long-period groundswell. The energy is moderate (102), and while the wind is a gentle cross-onshore from the N, it’s not too bad. This is a reef break, and that long period should wrap in nicely here. The afternoon sees a 1.3ft NW swell, 13-second period, with a moderate cross-shore breeze from the NNW – still a bit choppy but workable. The energy is moderate (104). This is the best of the bunch, but it’s still small and not perfect.
Overall, don’t expect much. The surf is pretty much nonexistent for the first week and a half, then a few small windows of clean but tiny waves. Bajo el Medio is inconsistent at the best of times, and this forecast is a classic example of that. Keep an eye on the long-range for that 17th – it’s the only real chance for a paddle.
