Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break down the next couple of weeks for you in feet and knots.
Honestly, mate, it’s a bleak run for the most part. We’re looking at a near-total flat spell across the entire 16-day window. The only spot worth a mention is Tres Palmas (Rincon) , but don’t get your hopes up. It’s a standout reef break that’s inconsistent and needs a proper WNW swell to light up, and that just isn’t happening. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The whole stretch from Sunday the 12th right through to Monday the 27th of July is a write-off. You’ll see tiny dribbles of swell – we’re talking 0.3 ft to 1.3 ft at best – with periods mostly under 8 seconds, which is just wind slop. The combined energy never breaks past a pathetic 19 (weak), so there’s nothing to get excited about. Winds are often light or glassy, which would be magic if there was any swell, but there isn’t.
There’s a tiny, tiny flicker on Friday afternoon the 24th of July. The swell bumps up to a whole 1.3 ft from the NNE with a 7-second period. The combined energy hits a laughable 19 (weak). But the wind turns offshore from the east at 9 mph, making it gentle offshore and clean. Even so, for a break like Tres Palmas, that’s barely a ripple. This is a setup that looks more interesting for a kite than a paddleboard, if I’m being honest.
So, the honest truth? There’s nothing to recommend. The whole 16-day forecast is a dud. Hang the board up, clean your wax, and wait for the next proper pulse. Things tend not to stay this dead forever, so check back in a few days.
