Alright, Rusty here, let’s take a look at what’s cooking for Bajo el Medio.
Honestly, it’s a tough stretch. We’re looking at a solid 16-day run and for the most part, there’s hardly anything to get excited about. The surf is tiny and the winds are mostly onshore or cross-shore from the north. For a reef break that wants swell from the NW, we’re just not getting the right magic. This is going to feel like a long, flat spell.
Starting off on Sunday, July 5th, it’s flat. We’re talking 0.3ft of weak, short-period leftovers, and a brisk 16 mph NNW cross-breeze making a mess of things. That sets the tone for the first week. Monday and Tuesday are more of the same – tiny, windy, and not worth paddling out for. On Tuesday morning the 7th, we get a brief moment with a light NNE breeze and a 2ft NE windswell with a period of only 5 seconds. The combined energy is weak (22), and the light offshore wind sounds good, but the swell is just too weak and short to do anything with. It's a tease.
The following days through to the end of the first week and into the second are just a grind. It's all small waves, messy winds, and that persistent ‘poor surf conditions’ tag. On Tuesday, July 14th, the swell bumps up to 3ft from the NNE, and the combined energy climbs to moderate (75), but the wind is a fresh 19 mph cross-onshore from the north. That’s a lumpy, blown-out mess. No good.
The pick of a very poor bunch might be Tuesday morning, July 7th. With 2ft from the NE and a light offshore breeze, if you’re desperate for a tiny, clean ankle-snatcher, it’s your window. But that’s not saying much.
Other than that, it’s a long stretch of nothing. This is one of those times where the forecast shows the boards staying in the car. Better luck next time.
