The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let's have a look at what's cookin' for Tres Palmas.
Well, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but we are looking at a seriously flat spell here. The forecast window for Tres Palmas is basically a bust for the next 16 days. We're talking no real surf on offer from now through to the end of the outlook. There's a massive gap here with nothing to recommend.
We get a tiny, tiny blip on Wednesday morning, August 12th, with a 0.3ft wave showing a period of 11 seconds from the North, but with the combined swell energy barely registering at just 2, it's hardly a ripple. The water temperature is sitting at 84° which is about average for the time of year, but you won't be needing a wettie for this non-existent swell.
Honestly, this is a real drought. For a break that's usually reserved for a proper groundswell, we've got nothing. The wind is often light and glassy, which would be a dream if there were any waves to groom. Thursday the 13th through to the 21st of August shows the same story: tiny bits of energy, if any at all, with the strongest reading being a combined energy of 14 from a 0.7ft NNE swell on the morning of Friday, August 14th. That's nothing to get excited about.
The one thing we can say is that when the swell does finally show up—which it isn't in this window—Tres Palmas is a reef break that wants a solid WNW groundswell. The outlook shows the wind is frequently offshore or glassy, but the ocean is just not cooperating. For now, keep your gear in the car and your expectations low. This is a blank run, plain and simple.
Rusty.
