The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight – the next two weeks are a real scratch for Tres Palmas. We're looking at a long, flat spell.
The first real chance of anything rideable doesn't show up until the morning of Friday, the 25th of July, and even then it's tiny. From now until that Friday morning, the charts are mostly zeros. That's 2 days of nothing until a tiny bump appears.
So, here's the picture:
Overall Pattern: We've got a long stretch of flat, clean, and glassy conditions through to the end of July and into early August. The water temp is sitting at 84°, about average for this time of year. The problem is, there's simply no energy. The combined swell energy reads (0) for the first few days - that's as flat as it gets.
The Standout (only real option):
If you're desperate for a paddle, Friday morning, August 7th offers the only glimpse of something. We see a sliver of swell at 1.3ft from the North (N), with a short period of 6 seconds. It's not big, but the wind is glassy (NW, 3 mph). It'll be clean. The combined energy is still weak at (13). This is the best of a very poor lot, but let's be honest, it's a beginner-level bump.
The rest of the window:
Saturday the 26th of July through Thursday the 7th of August is a string of zeroes and tiny 0.3ft to 1ft slop with periods under 8 seconds. The winds are often light and variable, giving us glassy mornings, but there's nothing to ride. For a heavy-water reef like Tres Palmas, this is a complete bust.
Bottom line: For the next 16 days, Tres Palmas is not worth the drive. There's no swell, no power, and the period is too short to generate anything. Keep the board in the bag, or look for a lake.
