The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get straight into it for Bajo el Medio (Rocky Point). This is a sheltered reef setup, best when the swell is wrapping in from the northwest. Looking at the full 16-day window, I gotta be honest with you—there's not a single time slot that’s worth paddling out. The whole run is a bit of a blank.
Right from the start on Sunday the 26th of July, we’ve got a NNE breeze tearing across at 22 mph, making a mess of things. The wave height is just 3 ft, but with that wind, the surface is lumpy and ugly. The combined swell energy is weak, sitting at 164 (moderate). Water temp is 72°, which is about normal for this time of year.
That pattern just keeps going. Monday the 27th, Tuesday the 28th, and right through the first week, it’s the same story: fresh to moderate cross-onshore winds and surf that’s either too small or too chopped out to bother with. The swell height barely cracks 2 ft most days, and the period is short, mostly 4 to 7 seconds—just wind slop, not real groundswell.
We do get a brief moment on the 1st of August—Saturday morning—with glassy conditions. Only 1 ft of swell though, and from the NE instead of the preferred NW. The combined energy is down at 10 (weak). A pretty sight, maybe, but no rideable surf.
After that, it’s more of the same right through to the 10th of August. There is a little bump in energy around the 5th and 6th of August, with swell hitting 3 ft and combined energy pushing into the moderate range (142 and 130). But the wind is onshore or cross-onshore, and the wave comment is still "poor surf conditions." That NE onshore wind is just killing the potential for this sheltered NW spot.
The last few days, from the 8th of August onwards, are just more of the same story: fresh breezes and lumpy water. Nothing here for the paddle surfer. If you’re into kites, the open beach might be a different story, but for a proper surf, this is a total washout.
Rusty.
