The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, checking the books for Tres Palmas (Rincon).
I’ll be honest, it’s a real quiet outlook. We’re looking at a solid two-week stretch where there’s basically nothing to get excited about. The first potential surf shows up on August 15th, but after that, it’s a long, dry run with no decent waves on the cards.
From the 15th all the way through the 26th, the energy is flat-out weak (with numbers like 13 or 10 or straight up 0). Swell heights are tiny, mostly 0.3ft to 1.0ft at best. We do get some glassy mornings, like on the 16th and the morning of the 22nd, which would be picture-perfect if there was any swell to go with it – but there isn’t. The wind kicks up to around 31 mph on the afternoon of the 15th, but again, it’s just blowing over flat water.
The only tiny blink of life shows up on the morning of August 27th. We get a bump to 2ft from the NNE, with a period of 6 seconds, giving us a weak energy reading of 18. The wind is dead glassy from the E, so it’ll be clean. But 2ft at 6 seconds is barely a ripple. It’s not a rideable wave for a spot like Tres Palmas, which is a heavy reef for advanced guys and is known to be inconsistent. After that, it zeros out again.
There is no standout here. Not one good session in the whole 16 days. For this break, that’s pretty normal – it’s a spot that needs a real push of swell. This window just doesn’t have it. You might get your feet wet on the 27th, but that’s about it.
Stay patient.
Rusty.
