The Lowdown
Alright, let me take a look at what’s on the cards for Tres Palmas (Rincon) over the next couple of weeks. Grab a coffee, because it’s a bit of a quiet one.
To be straight with you, the next 16 days are looking really flat. It’s a long stretch of nothing. From Monday the 20th right through to the end of July, the swell energy is almost non-existent, with readings sitting at zero for most of that time. A few tiny pulses show up, like a 2ft NNE swell on Wednesday the 22nd, but with a period of just 6 seconds and combined energy of only 24, it’s barely a ripple. The wind is mostly light and variable, sometimes glassy, but there’s just no power behind it. The water is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual.
We get a few tiny, tiny bumps later on – little 0.3ft pulses from the north, with energy values of 1 or 2 – but that’s not surf, that’s a lake. The only slight glimmer is on the very last day, Tuesday the 4th of August, with a 1ft north swell and a period of 8 seconds, giving a combined energy of 12. Still, "poor surf conditions" is the call.
The optimum direction for this spot is a good west-northwest, and we just don’t see that at all. Being a reef break that’s inconsistent, it needs a proper groundswell to get going, and there’s nothing on the horizon.
So, there’s no standout session here. It’s a complete blank. For a spot like this, a quiet run is more normal than a surprise. Keep the board in the car, but don’t expect to paddle out today. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a waiting game.
