The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty.
Let me be straight with you. Looking at this 16-day window, it’s a tough one for Tres Palmas (Rincon). Honestly, there’s not a single day in the whole run where the surf is really on. We’re staring down the barrel of a flat spell that’s going to last the entire forecast period, from the end of July right through to mid-August.
The first couple of days, starting Friday the 31st of July, have absolutely zero wave energy (0). The water temp is feeling about average for the time of year here, but that doesn’t help much when there’s nothing to ride. The wind is light and glassy or offshore at times, which would be perfect if there was any swell, but there just isn’t.
As we move into the first week of August, the pattern doesn’t shift. We’re seeing tiny, weak pulses of energy that barely register. On Sunday the 2nd of August, there’s a tiny 1-foot swell from the NNE with a pathetic 3-second period and only 2 units of energy. That’s nothing you’d even bother paddling for. The conditions stay clean, with some offshore winds here and there, but the ocean is basically asleep.
The second week is more of the same. Monday the 10th of August through to Saturday the 15th of August is a total write-off. A few minuscule bumps show up – like 0.7-foot to 1-foot swells from the NNE with short periods, and energy levels barely cracking 11. The combined energy never breaks out of those weak two-digit numbers. Even when the wind goes totally glassy, like on the morning of the 15th of August, there’s just no swell to work with.
For a spot that’s fairly exposed to a WNW swell, this is a long, quiet run. The good news is that places like this don’t stay flat forever. Forecasts can change, and the next pulse could flip the switch. But looking at what’s in front of us right now, you’re better off waxing your board and waiting for the next real swell. There is simply no surf to recommend here for the next 16 days.
