Alright, boys and girls, Rusty here with the lowdown. For Bajo del Medio, that reef at Rocky Point, the next two weeks are a real bummer. We’re looking at a solid week of flat, crummy conditions from Friday the 10th right through Thursday the 16th of July. Tiny waves, wind from the wrong direction, and a choppy mess. Not a single thing to get excited about.
The energy starts to creep up around the 17th, but that fresh north wind keeps blowing cross-onshore, making everything lumpy and uninviting. The swell gets to about 3ft on Friday the 17th morning from the NE, with a moderate energy reading of 105, but the onshore wind ruins it. It’s a grind.
The only real standout, the one that gets my blood pumping, is way out there on Friday the 24th of July. We’ve got a proper pulse of swell coming in at 4ft from the NE, with a 10-second period and a strong energy reading of 341. That’s a real wave. The wind is still a fresh cross-onshore from the north, making it lumpy, but for a sheltered reef, the power will be there. The water temp is about average for this time of year.
That Friday morning on the 24th is your best bet. It’s the biggest swell of the whole period by a mile. The direction isn’t perfect for the spot, but with that much energy (341), it’s going to be a big, powerful, and challenging wave. It’ll be expert-only territory with that wind. If you’re keen and you’ve got the skills, that’s the day to circle. The rest is a washout.
Rusty.
