The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about the outlook for Tres Palmas (Rincon). Right now, the ocean is basically flat. We’ve got a long stretch ahead where it’s going to be a waiting game, so don’t be in a rush to wax up.
The story starts on Saturday, July 25th. First thing in the morning, we’ve got a tiny 0.7 ft bump from the NNE with a weak 8-second period and almost no energy in the water (6). The wind is a glassy calm, so the surface is perfect, but it's just not enough to surf. That same pattern carries through Sunday and into the week. We’re looking at a lot of mornings with flat, glassy conditions and afternoons that get a bit of a cross-off breeze but still no real swell to speak of. The combined energy readings are all in the single digits or zeros, which tells you there’s nothing pushing in.
The water temp is about average for the time of year, so you won’t need a thick suit when you’re just standing there on the beach.
By the time we hit the first week of August, the pattern is stubborn. On Saturday, August 1st, we get a tiny 0.3 ft pulse from the north with a 9-second period, and the energy is still just 1. It’s glassy, but it’s barely a ripple. The second week of August offers no real change. We see a little 0.3 ft northern swell on the 5th and 6th with a slightly longer 11-second period, but the energy is still in the 2 range. It’s not enough to do anything with, even if the wind is clean.
The standout here? There isn’t one. This is a blank run. Tres Palmas is an inconsistent spot that needs a proper WNW swell to light up, and we aren’t seeing that in the 16-day window. The break is a heavy reef setup for advanced surfers, but with no swell, it’s just a rocky shelf. If you’re looking to paddle, you’re out of luck. The only thing that looks remotely interesting here is the light, glassy winds, but without any wave height, it’s a non-starter.
Keep an eye on the charts, because this stretch of flatness won’t last forever, but for now, I’d leave the board at home.
Rusty.
