The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s chew the fat on this one.
Straight up, I’m gutted for you. Looking at the whole 16-day window for Bajo el Medio (Rocky Point), there’s just nothing to get excited about. The whole stretch from the 15th of August right through to the 30th is a write-off for decent surf. Every single session comes back as poor conditions. The combined swell energy is weak, sitting in the low double digits most days, barely touching 88 on one Sunday arvo but with messy cross-onshore winds ruining the vibe. The swell heights are tiny, mostly 0.7ft to 2ft, and the periods are short or only just mediocre, so you’re not getting any real push or shape.
For this reef break here, it’s normally an inconsistent spot anyway, but we’ve got a solid two-week gap with zero recommendations. The wind is relentless from the north to northeast quadrant, and it's mostly cross-onshore or directly onshore, which kills the already weak surf. Even the few times the wind goes offshore, the swell is too small and weak to bother with. The water temp? It’s not flagged as unusual, so expect it to be average for this time of year.
Unless you want to sit and watch a flat, choppy ocean with a moderate breeze in your face, I’d keep the board in the car. Honestly, this stretch looks more interesting for a kite if you've got one, because there’s no decent paddle surfing to be had here.
Rusty.
