Hey crew, Rusty here. Gotta give it to you straight about Bajo el Medio – it's gonna be a lean couple of weeks. This is a sheltered reef break, and it's inconsistent at the best of times, so a long flat spell isn't unusual here.
The water's sitting around 72°, which is a touch warmer than average for the season. Nice if you're just taking a dip.
We're looking at a big gap with no action. The first real pulse doesn't arrive until Sunday, July 20th. That morning, the swell hits 5ft from the NNE, but with a weak 8-second period. The wind is a cross-onshore breeze at 12 mph, making it lumpy and choppy – a total no-go for a clean ride. The combined energy is moderate at 394, but the wave comment is 'poor surf conditions' with a score of zero.
Then on Tuesday, July 22nd, things clean up a touch. The swell drops to 2ft from the NE, but the wind shifts to a cross-shore breeze from the NNW at 9 mph. That light cross-shore wind (184 combined energy) will keep the surface a lot cleaner than the other days, but you're still working with tiny, weak waves. It's still a 'poor surf conditions' call.
There are no standouts here. The wind is relentless from the north, ruining everything, and the swell windows just don't line up for this sheltered spot. For an inconsistent break like this, the long blank run is pretty normal. If that bigger swell on the 20th shows up, with that wind and short period, I'd say this looks more interesting for a kite than a surfboard.
Hang tight, and keep an eye on the charts. Forecasts can change, but for now, it's a waiting game.
Rusty.
