The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's break down this stretch for Tres Palmas.
Truth is, it's a pretty quiet outlook. There's a big ol' gap at the start with nothing surfable, and for a spot that's inconsistent anyway, a run of flat days like this is pretty normal around here. Don't expect much.
The first real chance of a wave doesn't show up until Wednesday, August 12th, and it's barely a whisper. We're talking about a combined swell energy of just 7 (weak), so it's tiny. The rest of that week stays flat to shin-high, with a few glassy mornings that would be perfect if there was any power. Winds go calm and glassy at times, which is a tease.
The only flicker of life comes on Wednesday, August 19th, into Thursday, August 20th. Wednesday afternoon sees a bump to about 2ft from the N with a 7-second period and combined energy of 26 (still weak). It's clean with a moderate cross-off breeze, but the swell is short and weak. Thursday morning stays small with a 0.6ft N swell and 6-second period, combined energy of just 3.
There's no true standout here. The best bet would be Wednesday afternoon, August 19th, simply because it has the most size and the cleanest conditions. But for a heavy, inconsistent reef like Tres Palmas, this whole forecast is a pass. If you're really jonesing, maybe a log for the tiny glassy mornings, but honestly, the setup looks more interesting for kiting than paddle surfing right now.
This is Rusty, signing off.
