The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s look at what Rincon’s got cookin’.
First thing, we’re staring down a long dry spell. There’s no surf to speak of through the rest of July. You’ve got five or six days of flat water – glassy mornings, some afternoon storms, but zero wave energy. That’s a tough stretch. August 1st shows a tiny 0.3ft NW windswell, combined energy at 4 – that’s weak. Not worth paddling out. The 2nd through the 7th are all the same: 0.3ft to 0.7ft stuff, energy never climbing above 16. Winds are often glassy or clean, but there’s simply no push.
The one real standout, and it’s a promise almost a week and a half away, falls on Saturday the 8th of August. Tres Palmas (Rincon) – this is an advanced-only reef, and it’s inconsistent, so when it shows, you take notice. In the afternoon we get a 1ft swell from NNE, period stretching to 11 seconds – that’s proper groundswell, long-period, which brings better shape and more energy, though for a beach it can run a bit straight; for a reef like Tres Palmas, that’s a good thing. Combined energy hits 22 (moderate). Wind is a light cross-off, keeping the surface clean. That’s your highlight – still small, but quality. The morning of the 9th is similar: 1ft from NNE, period 10 seconds, energy 19 (moderate), and glassy conditions. Tres Palmas with glass and a little groundswell is as good as it gets around here. Then the 10th fades again. Water temp is about normal for late July, nothing unusual.
So, don’t get antsy this week, but keep an eye on the 8th and 9th of August. It ain’t big, but it’s clean, and for a reef like Tres Palmas, that’s worth the wait.
Rusty.
