The Lowdown
Alright folks, let's get real. Looking at the long-range charts and honestly, the cupboards are bare for the next week or so. We've got a serious flat spell on our hands, a real drought. The first solid, rideable surf won't show up until around Tuesday the 10th, and even then, it's just a hint of what's to come. There's a big lull from Friday the 4th through to Monday the 9th, so don't even bother paddling out. A few mornings might show a shin-high bump, but it's not worth the wax.
Then, the ocean finally wakes up on Tuesday the 10th. It’s small, maybe waist to chest-high, but you'll see a pulse. The one true standout in this entire outlook is Thursday morning the 12th at Tres Palmas (Rincon) . This is the day. We're looking at a 2-3ft wave (around 0.7m) with some good energy, the combined swell energy is at 100 (moderate) and the wind is dead glass off the water. The swell direction is from the north, which is okay for this spot, but the clean conditions are the real story. For a wave known to be inconsistent, seeing it start to show is a good sign. The water is warm, about 86° Fahrenheit, which is a touch warmer than average for this time of year, so it's comfortable.
After that, it’s a bit of a letdown. The second week is pretty much a repeat of the first – mostly small, weak swells from the north-northeast with a few clean windows in the mornings, but nothing with any real punch. Sure, there'll be a few days with a little more energy, like around the 15th and 16th, but it's still not going to be worth a long drive. The long-range stuff is trying to build, but it’s too far out to get excited about.
So, if you want to get wet, circle Thursday the 12th. That’s our best shot. The rest is just a waiting game.
