The Lowdown
G’day, it’s Rusty.
Alright, look. I’ll be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are pretty grim for a wave at Bajo el Medio. We’re looking at a long, dry spell. There’s a real gap of about two weeks where there’s just nothing worth paddling out for. The swell stays tiny, the winds are mostly junk, and it’s all a bit of a mess. Honest truth, if you’re keen for a surf, you might want to find something else to do for a while.
The only glimmer on the horizon is right at the end of the run, on Saturday the 26th of September. The morning shows a pulse of energy with a combined swell energy reading of 112, which is the only time we see three-digit numbers in the whole period. It’s coming from the NNW with a period of 14 seconds – that’s a proper groundswell, though it’s still only 1ft. The problem is, the wind is straight onshore from the NE, which will wreck what little shape there is. It’s a promise of something, but it’s a long way out and I wouldn’t be banking on it. That’s about as exciting as it gets, and that ain’t saying much. Water temp’s sitting at 75°, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.
So, there you have it. A real barren stretch ahead. It happens. Forecasts can change, but as it stands, it’s a waiting game. I’ll be keeping an eye on that last day, but my hopes aren’t high.
Rusty.
