The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's have a look at the outlook for the next couple of weeks.
Straight up, the news is rough. For the next 16 days, there is simply no surf worth paddling out for at Tres Palmas. We are looking at a long, blank stretch. The ocean is flat, with barely a ripple. The swell energy is pathetic, barely cracking single digits (2) for the first few days, and it never really gets going. It’s the kind of spell that makes you wonder if the ocean took a nap.
The only glimmer, and I mean a tiny one, shows up around September 9th. We might see a tiny bump of swell from the north, pushing 1.3ft to 2ft, with a period of 11 seconds. The combined energy would be a weak 85. That’s groundswell, but it’s so small it's barely a couple of feet. The wind is forecast to be off and on clean, but it’s just not enough to make this world-class reef break light up. It’s a heartbreaking tease.
For the rest of the window, it's a flat, glassy, and frustrating outlook. The forecast can always change, but right now, save your wax and your energy. There's nothing here.
