The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the next 16 days for Tres Palmas (Rincon) are a complete write-off for any kind of proper surf session. The finder data is all red lights across the board, with scores hanging at zero the whole way through. That’s a long, bleak run for this spot.
We’ve got a massive 16-day window starting now, and honestly, it’s dead. There’s not a single day with a real recommendation. The break is a slabby, inconsistent reef that needs a serious groundswell to wake up, and right now it’s flat. You’re looking at swell heights barely cracking 1 ft at best, and most of the time it’s sitting at 0.3 ft or 0.7 ft.
Right from Monday the 7th, it’s a dud – 0.7 ft on a windswell from the NNE with a period of 9 seconds and a combined energy reading of just 8 (weak as dishwater). The water’s sitting at 86°, which is 2° above the norm – so a touch warmer than usual for early September, but nothing crazy. The week drags on the same way. Thursday the 10th teases a little with 1 ft and the energy bumping to 30 (still weak), but the swell direction is off from the WNW optimum the reef craves, and it stays flat anyway. By the second week, things get even quieter. From the 12th onward, we see periods get longer – up to 15 seconds on the 16th – but the height is still 0.7 ft. That’s a long-period ghost swell with no push behind it. Winds do go offshore or glassy sometimes, which would be ideal for clean conditions, but there’s nothing to ride.
Honestly, there’s no standout. Not one. This break is so inconsistent that a blank 16-day run isn’t a surprise – it’s just how it goes here. If you’re desperate, maybe keep an eye on the forecast, but don’t hold your breath. I’ll be back if it changes.
