Table - best surf conditions forecast for Bajo el Medio over the next 16 days.
Right folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks.
Straight up, I’ve got to be honest with you – this outlook is a tough one. We’re looking at a pretty flat spell ahead. The only spot that’s even on the radar is Bajo el Medio (Rocky Point), but even that’s not looking good for a paddle. The whole 16-day window is a write-off for decent surf. From now through to the end of the period on the 24th of July, every single session is tagged with poor surf conditions. There’s no real build, no window of clean waves – just a long, flat grind.
The first few days are particularly grim. Through Thursday the 9th, Friday the 10th, and right into the weekend of the 11th and 12th, we’re looking at swell heights barely above 0.3 ft to 1 ft. The wind is a constant cross-onshore, and the wave energy is pathetic – we’re talking single-digit figures like 4 or 8. It’s not surfable.
We do see a tiny bump around the 16th of July, Thursday. The swell picks up to 3 ft from the NE with a period of 9 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 155 – that’s moderate energy, finally. But the wind is still cross-onshore, and the wave comment is still “poor surf conditions.” It’s a tease. The swell direction is NE, but the optimum for this sheltered reef is NW, so it’s not wrapping in well at all.
That same pattern hangs around through the 17th, 18th, and 19th, with swell hovering around 2 ft to 3 ft from the NE and NNE. The energy stays in the 70 to 119 range, but the wind never lets up. It’s always a cross-onshore breeze, making it choppy and lumpy. For a reef break that’s inconsistent at the best of times, this whole setup is just a no-go for a surfboard.
To be fair, this is a sheltered spot, and when it’s this flat and windy, a blank run like this is pretty normal for the area. It’s not a place that fires often. There’s simply nothing to get excited about here. If you’re desperate for a fix, you’d be better off looking at a different sport than paddling out.
Stay tuned, though – forecasts can change.
Rusty.

Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Bajo el Medio may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself.
