The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here, and I ain’t gonna sugarcoat it—this 16-day run is dead flat for Puerto Rico. There’s no swell in the pipeline, so we’re looking at a long, quiet stretch.
Right now through early August, the surf is basically a big zero. Days on end with nothing—maybe a ripple here and there, but no energy to speak of. The first week is a total washout, with at least seven straight days of flat conditions. Even when the wind is glassy and clean, there’s nothing to ride.
Things drag on until Monday August 10th, when a tiny bump shows up—2ft from the NNE with a short period. The energy is weak, but the wind is light offshore and clean. This is as good as it gets, and it’s barely enough for a longboard.
After that, there’s a little more activity through mid-August, but nothing over 1ft. The best shot is Wednesday August 12th: 1ft from the NNW, light cross-off breeze, clean and small. The morning of Thursday August 13th has strong offshore wind from the east at 25 mph, but the swell is only 1ft—more of a kite day than a surf day.
This is a rare flat spell for Tres Palmas (Rincon). This reef needs a solid WNW to roar, and we got nothing close. If you’re going out, bring the biggest board you’ve got or a kite. Otherwise, hang tight—the ocean always comes back around.
Rusty.
