The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get straight into what's happening with the waves around here.
Right off the bat, I gotta be honest with you – it’s a tough stretch ahead. The whole 16-day window is looking flat as a pancake for the most part. We're starting with a real dry spell. From Monday the 13th of July all the way through to Tuesday the 28th of July, there’s just nothing on the cards that’s worth paddling for. The energy is basically non-existent.
We’re looking at Tres Palmas (Rincon) here, and for a wave that usually needs a serious slug of WNW groundswell to get going, it’s a ghost town. The biggest swell height we see is a pathetic 1 foot, with combined energy readings barely hitting double digits – we’re talking a measly 15 (15) on the Monday afternoon, and that’s the best of a very bad bunch. The swell direction is all over the shop from the north and northeast, which is the complete opposite of what this reef needs to fire. The water temp is sitting at 84°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year, but that’s the only thing that’s normal.
Even when the wind goes glassy, like on the morning of Monday the 20th, there’s just no swell to work with. It’s cruel. This is a spot that’s *inconsistent* at the best of times, so a blank run like this, while painful, isn't a huge surprise. There’s simply nothing here for a surfer to get excited about. If you’re desperate for a paddle, you’ll be on a flat board. I’d say wait for the next forecast update because this one is a dud.
