Alright, crew, Rusty here filling you in on the local surf scene. We’re in for a long, quiet spell. The first real chance to get wet isn't until Sunday the 12th, so you’ll be sitting on the beach for a solid 5 days before anything shows.
The only option worth talking about is Tres Palmas picking up a tiny 0.3ft groundswell from the north with a 9-second period on Sunday afternoon, the 12th. The water temp is about normal for the season. The wind will be calm and glassy, making the surface perfect, but the wave energy is weak. This is a notoriously inconsistent reef break for experts only. With such a small, short-lived swell, it won’t be crowded.
From Monday the 13th onwards, the same pattern of minimal swell and poor surf quality continues. The second week is a dead loss for any meaningful surfing.
With the lack of any real swell but plenty of clean, side-offshore breezes, this stretch might actually be better for the kite crew than for us paddle surfers.
Rusty.

Information about the Tres Palmas (Rincon) Surf forecast

A general guide to surfing at Tres Palmas (Rincon) can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.
