The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on offer for this stretch.
Gotta be straight with you – it's a tough watch for this spot. Every single session in this 16-day window is marked as poor surf conditions. We're looking at a total blank run here. The swell is tiny, maxing out at just 3ft on the 4th of September, but even then, the wind is a mess, coming from the NNE as a cross-onshore breeze, creating choppy, lumpy conditions. The combined energy for that day only hits moderate, around 184 (moderate) on the Friday morning.
The wind is your main enemy here. It's almost always blowing cross-on from the north or northeast, rarely giving the water a chance to clean up. There is no standout day. For the first week, from the 25th of August through to the 1st of September, the swell is mostly under 2ft, with the combined energy stuck in the weak two-digit range (42 or less). The second week shows a tiny bump in size around the 4th, but the wind quality doesn't improve.
If you're a kiter, those breezes and small chop might look interesting, but for a surfer on a reef break like Bajo del Medio, it's just not there. It breaks inconsistently as it is, and with this onshore flow and short-period swell (mostly under 8 seconds), the shape will be junk. The water is about 75°F at the start – a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – but you won't be caring about that when you're scratching for a 1ft lump. Hang tight, the forecasts can change.
