The Lowdown
Alright, let’s size this up. For the next couple of weeks, you can pretty much hang up the board. This 16-day window for Tres Palmas is a total flat spell. The combined energy numbers tell the story – most of them are zero or in the weak range (2 to 21), which means nothing is happening.
We start on Tuesday, August 25th, with glassy conditions but zero swell. That sets the tone. Wednesday the 26th, Thursday the 27th, Friday the 28th, Saturday the 29th, Sunday the 30th – all the same: “poor surf conditions.” A few glassy mornings, but with nothing to surf, it’s just a calm ocean.
Roll into September, and it’s the same story. Monday the 31st of August and Tuesday the 1st of September – still flat. A tiny 0.2m NNE swell shows up on the 31st with an 11-second period, but it’s tagged as “poor surf conditions” and the combined energy is only 11 to 12. Not worth the walk.
The second week is just as empty. Wednesday the 2nd through Sunday the 6th of September – nothing. A few afternoons have clean cross-offshore wind, but again, no wave height. The water temp on the 25th was 85°, which is about average for this time of year, so it’s warm for a swim, but that’s it.
The only real flicker comes near the end. On Tuesday the 8th of September, we see a 0.2m NNE swell with a 14-second period. That’s a long-period groundswell, and the combined energy climbs to 19. Then Wednesday the 9th of September brings a 0.2m NNE swell with a 13-second period, energy at 21. The mornings are glassy. But 0.2m is kiddie-pool height. For a reef like Tres Palmas, that’s not going to break. The whole outlook is a bust. Tres Palmas is an inconsistent spot normally, and this is a proper dry spell. For the next 16 days, you’d be better off looking at a kite at a beach break, because paddle surfing is off the table.
