The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s going on with this spot.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this is a rough stretch for Tres Palmas. The whole 16-day window is basically flat. We’re talking a whole lot of nothing with barely a whisper of swell. From Tuesday the 14th of July all the way through to Wednesday the 29th, there isn’t a single session worth paddling out for. The highest combined energy we see is a measly 14 (weak), and that’s just a tiny 0.7 ft ripple from the north. Most days, the energy is in the single digits or zero.
There’s a long gap here with nothing to recommend. It’s a bummer, but for a spot that’s already “inconsistent” and only for advanced surfers, a dead run like this isn’t unheard of. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
If you’re an expert and you’re desperate, the closest thing to a pulse happens around Thursday the 16th. We’ve got a 0.7 ft from the north, but the period is dropping fast – from 8 seconds down to 7. That’s short-period, weak stuff. On the Thursday afternoon, you get a moderate offshore wind from the ENE at 12 mph which will clean it up, but it’s still barely a wave. The energy reading is just 14. It’s not even a proper ankle-snapper.
A couple of mornings, like Sunday the 19th and Tuesday the 21st, go glassy or near-calm, but with zero swell, that’s just a mirror-flat ocean. Great for a paddle, but no surf.
Don’t even bother with the rest. It’s a straight-up drought. Forecasts can change, but right now, leave the boards at home.
Stay patient,
Rusty.
