The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it. I’ve got a look at the charts for the next couple of weeks, and I’m sorry to say it, but we’re in for a proper flat spell. There’s just nothing worth paddling out for at Bajo el Medio (Rocky Point) for the entire 16-day outlook. Not a single session gets a green light. The whole run is a bust.
We start off on Thursday, 23 July, with a tiny 2ft cross-on swell out of the NNE, period a woeful 6 seconds, and the wind is hammering at 19 mph. The combined energy is a meagre 38, and the wave comment says it all: “poor surf conditions.” That sets the tone. The whole first week, right through to the end of July, is pretty much the same story. The swell barely gets above 3ft, the period is short and weak, and the wind stays up, mostly cross-onshore. The only slight bump is on Saturday, 25 July, when the swell hits 4ft from the NE with a period of 9 seconds, pushing the combined energy up to 190. But it’s still got that 22 mph cross-on wind, so it’s going to be lumpy, choppy, and nasty. Not a wave you want to be on.
The water temp is sitting at 72°F, which is pretty much what you’d expect for this time of year, so that’s about the only thing that’s normal.
As we head into the first week of August, it gets even smaller. Monday, 4 August, sees the swell drop to an absolute joke of 0.3ft. The energy readings are down in the single digits. It’s dead. The second week does have a little pulse on Thursday, 6 August, with a 3ft swell from the NNE and a period of 7 seconds, giving us a combined energy of 120. But again, the wind is a fresh 16 mph cross-on, so it’s just going to be messy. The last day on the charts, Friday, 7 August, is the same story—3ft, but the wind is up to 19 mph.
Look, this is one of those runs where there’s just nothing to get excited about. The swell direction is all wrong for this sheltered reef, and the wind is relentless. It’s a total blank. Sometimes the sea just likes to keep its secrets. I wouldn’t even bother with the board wax. Wait for the next set of charts, because this one is a big fat zero.
Rusty.
