The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s look at what’s cooking for Bajo del Medio.
I gotta level with you – this is a rough patch. Over the next 16 days, there isn’t a single decent surf session to be found. The swell just isn’t showing, and the wind is mostly blowing from the north, which is all wrong for this sheltered reef that needs a north-west swell to work. It’s going to be a whole lot of small, choppy, and poor surf conditions.
The first recommendation kicks off on September 8th, a Tuesday morning, but it’s a dud – a tiny 1ft north-west swell with a 12-second period, but cross-onshore NNE winds at 9 mph mess it up right away. The combined wave energy is weak at only 71. That’s the story for the whole run. The water temp is 75°, about 2° warmer than average for the season – a small perk, but not enough to save the surf.
We’re looking at a full week of nothing. Wednesday the 9th, Thursday the 10th – all poor. The wind stays cross-onshore or onshore, often blowing 12-19 mph from the north, keeping the surface messy. By Saturday the 13th, we get a brief flash of glassy conditions in the morning with a tiny 1.0ft north-west swell and 8-second period, but the energy is almost nothing (22). It’s a flat, clean pond, not surfable.
Even when the swell tries to bump on September 16th (Wednesday) – 2ft from the north-east at a short period of 6 seconds – the cross-onshore wind kills it, and the energy finally reaches 130, but it’s not enough to fix the poor quality. The 17th and 18th are the same sad story: small, onshore, messy.
Into the second week, from the 19th right through to the 23rd of September, it’s all flat. Swell barely hits 1.0ft, periods are all over the place, and the wind stays ugly. Nothing to get your hopes up for. We finish on the 23rd with a joke of a swell: 0.3ft at a 20-second period – an old long-period groundswell with no height and only 23 energy. Not even worth looking at.
The short version: Bajo del Medio is a total write-off for the full 16 days. For a spot that’s already inconsistent, these long flat spells are pretty normal around here. Keep checking back – the forecasts can change, and it usually doesn’t stay this quiet forever.
Rusty.
