The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be honest about the next couple of weeks. We’re looking at Tres Palmas (Rincon), and the outlook is a tough one. It's a proper reef setup that needs a very specific, heavy WNW swell to really fire, and that's just not on the cards for this entire 16-day run. We're talking about a long stretch, essentially the whole forecast period, with nothing but tiny, weak pulses and a whole lot of flat spells.
Let's walk through it. Starting Sunday the 19th, we're seeing a tiny 0.7ft swell from NNE with a short period of 9 seconds, pushing a combined swell energy of (7). It's weak and the surf is poor. Monday the 20th through to Friday the 24th of July is basically dead – no rideable swell at all. There's a brief moment on Friday afternoon with a 1ft pulse from NNE, but the period is a pathetic 4 seconds, so it's just messy and gutless, energy at (6). Still poor conditions.
The weekend of the 26th and 27th is much of the same: flat to near-flat with the odd 0.3ft ripple that won't break with any sort of form. We then push into the last week of July and the start of August, and the story doesn't change. Tiny 0.3ft to 0.7ft swells show up from the N and NNW with periods between 6 and 8 seconds, and the combined energy barely scratches (6) even at its best. For a wave as demanding as Tres Palmas, this is just a no-go.
Look, if you're a beach-goer, some of those glassy mornings like Thursday the 23rd and Friday the 24th of July will be pretty as a picture, but there's no surf to be had. For those after a proper wave, this is a blank run that is fairly normal for this spot in a lull period. Keep an eye on the charts, because it tends not to stay this poor forever, but for now, leave the boards at home. The setup would honestly look more interesting for a kite than a paddle if any real wind ever showed up along with the swell, but it hasn't.
Rusty.
