Alright, folks, Rusty here with the lowdown.
I’ll cut to the chase – the surf outlook for Tres Palmas (Rincon) is looking mighty slim. From Saturday July 4th all the way through to Saturday July 18th, we’re staring down a long stretch of flat to near-flat conditions. Wave heights are stuck at 0.7ft to 0.7ft at best, and the combined swell energy barely registers – mostly 0 to 11 (weak energy), so there's just no juice.
Water temp on that first Saturday morning is 84°, which is a touch warmer than average for the season – nothing wild, just a little steamy. Winds are often light and cross-off or glassy through the mornings, which would be perfect if we had any swell, but without waves it’s just a calm, flat sea.
The only flicker of life comes on Sunday July 19th morning. Swell height nudges up to 1ft from the NNE, with a short period of 5 seconds. Combined swell energy hits 10 (weak energy). Wind is glassy out of the ENE at 5 mph, so the surface will be clean. For a total beginner on a soft top, this could be a tiny chance to get wet. But for anyone wanting a real wave? It’s still poor surf.
For a reef like Tres Palmas, which is known to be inconsistent anyway, a 16-day dry spell like this is par for the course. It needs a proper WNW groundswell to fire, and that just ain’t in the forecast.
So, no big winner here. The only faint hope is that Sunday July 19th morning – but keep the bar on the floor. We’re just waiting for something to change.
Rusty.
