The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ve stared at the charts for Rocky Point and Bajo del Medio, and I won’t sugar-coat it: this 16-day window is a write-off for any decent surf. We’ve got a frustrating run of tiny, onshore junk from Wednesday the 2nd of September all the way through to Thursday the 17th of September. Not a single session worth paddling out for.
The only break on the radar is Bajo del Medio, a sheltered reef that’s inconsistent and needs a good NW swell to really light up. But the short-range forecast is a bust. Wednesday the 2nd is the worst kind of tease: a northeast breeze howling at 15–19 mph straight onto a 2 ft windswell from the northeast, with a weak combined energy reading of just 83. The water’s a touch warmer than usual at 75°, but that’s about the only positive.
That whole first nine days are cursed with steady north to north‑northeast winds, 9–19 mph, cross-onshore or directly onshore, chewing up waves that barely scrape 2 ft. The energy never climbs above 70 – weak stuff. Thursday the 3rd? 1.0 ft and 19 energy. Friday the 4th? 0.3 ft and 7 energy. It’s flat, lumpy, and hopeless.
There’s a flicker of something different deep in the second week. On Monday the 14th of September, early morning shows glassy conditions with a light southwest offshore breeze at 3 mph, but the swell is a pathetic 0.7 ft from the north‑northwest with a long period of 12 seconds. That period would normally mean groomed groundswell lines, but there’s no height to work with – combined energy is only 19. It’s a clean 0.7 ft, which is still a 0.7 ft. Tuesday the 15th insists on more north‑northeast wind. By Wednesday the 16th, the period stretches to 15 seconds, but again the swell is only 1.0 ft and the wind is back on it. There’s no size, no quality, no hope.
Honestly, Bajo del Medio is a beautiful-looking reef when it’s on, but for the entire 16-day run, it’s a no-go. In a region that can be fickle, a stretch like this isn’t unheard of, but it’s a tough pill to swallow. Pack the fishing rod instead.
