The Lowdown
Alright, listen up. It’s been a dry spell for us here in Rincon. You’re looking at a long stretch of nothing before something finally shows up.
From Monday the 24th of August through Thursday the 3rd of September, that’s nearly 11 days of flatness. The ocean is calm and clean, but there’s no push. Combined energy tops out at a measly 14, so don’t even bother.
Then, finally, on Friday the 4th of September, we get a pulse. The one to watch is Tres Palmas (Rincon). Friday morning brings 4ft of swell out of the NNE, with a 12-second period. That’s a proper groundswell, and the combined energy is a solid 443. The wind is glassy out of the NNW, which means smooth, clean faces. This is the best shot you’ll get. Water temp is about 85°, right around average for this time of year.
The swell holds through Friday afternoon at 4ft with cross-off winds, staying clean. Saturday morning the 5th drops to 3ft with glassy conditions, but the energy is lower (244). It’s still rideable, but weaker. By Sunday, it’s fading back to ordinary.
So, the whole 16-day window only really lights up on that Friday the 4th and maybe Saturday morning. It’s a short window, but it’s a good one. Don’t sleep on it.
