The Lowdown
Alright, I’ll be straight with you. For the next 16 days, it’s flat city at Tres Palmas (Rincon). We’re looking at a dead run. The combined energy levels are basically zero to a whisper – readings from 0 up to maybe 40 – which is just weak and useless. You get a few tiny bumps, like the morning of Thursday the 12th with a 1ft pulse from the NNE, but with a period of only 8 seconds, there’s nothing behind it to get the reef going. Every single forecast window is stamped "poor surf conditions" through to the 21st of September.
But hey, this is a heavy water spot. These long flat spells happen here. It doesn’t stay poor forever, and the second a proper WNW groundswell shows up with some period on it, this place becomes legendary. The water temp is about 86° right now, which is roughly one degree warmer than average – nice for a float. Just keep an eye on the long-range models. When it turns on, it’s worth the wait.
