The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let's break down the same outlook but in feet and miles per hour.
To be straight with you, this is a grim 16-day outlook for Bajo el Medio. From Saturday, July 25th, right through to Sunday, August 9th, it's a long stretch of nothing. The wind is almost always blowing cross-onshore, and the swell is tiny, never getting above 3 ft. The combined wave energy is weak, topping out at 168, which is nowhere near enough to get the reef going.
There's a big gap with no real surf. The only small glimmer is on the morning of Sunday, August 2nd, when the wind turns cross-offshore for a moment, cleaning things up. But the swell is only 2 ft from the NNE with a 6-second period, which is just weak, short-period chop. The energy is only 44, so it's not going to be worth the paddle. For a spot that's already inconsistent and needs a NW swell, the direction and wind are all wrong. If you're a surfer, forget it. The steady cross-onshore wind might make it a kitesurfing spot, but for a paddle surfer, it's a hard pass.
Rusty.
