Triangulo Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let's chew the fat about the waves coming up.

Right from the jump, the window's open but the goods are scarce until we get deep into the second week. There's a real quiet patch in the middle. Let's break it down.

We start with Triangulo. This is a sheltered reef that doesn't break often, so you've got to be patient. On Sunday the 16th, there's some SW swell at 3ft with a super long period of 16 seconds. The combined energy is a moderate 697, and the water temp is a very unusual 71°F (that's 9°F warmer than average). The wind is a cross-off from the S at 12 mph, so the surface is clean, but the forecast doesn't rate the quality highly.

Things get a bit more interesting on Tuesday the 18th. The swell jumps to 6ft in the morning and 7ft in the afternoon from the SW. This is powerful stuff, with combined energy hitting 1169 and 1469 – that's strong. The period drops to 13 and 12 seconds, still good groundswell. The wind is a solid 12-16 mph cross-off, keeping the surface alright. That 7ft afternoon swell is pushing into expert-only territory, especially on an inconsistent reef.

Then we hit the doldrums. From Wednesday the 19th through Saturday the 22nd, conditions get ugly. The wind turns more cross and cross-on, the period drops short (9-8 seconds), and wave quality tanks. By Friday the 21st, the waves are tiny and weak.

Saturday the 22nd is a cruel tease. The swell is a measly 1ft, but the wind goes glassy in the morning. That long period of 19 seconds is amazing for such a small wave, but there's simply no volume. It's essentially flat.

From Sunday the 23rd all the way to the end of the month, it's a long slog of poor to marginal conditions. The swell is small (1ft to 4ft), the winds are mostly cross or cross-onshore, and the vibe is off. A few clean moments pop up, but the energy is low.

Looking way out to the last few days of the month, we see a pulse of life. On Friday the 28th, a 3ft SW swell with a 16-second period appears, offering moderate energy (540) and clean conditions. Saturday the 29th and Sunday the 30th see the swell build more consistently to 4ft and 4ft from the SW, with periods around 13-12 seconds. The wind is light cross-shore, so it's surfable, but not a game-changer. The energy is building, hitting 624 and 644. By Monday the 31st, the energy climbs to 975 with that 4ft SW swell. This is a trend to watch as we get closer, but for now, it's a promise, not a guarantee.

The best of the bunch? There's no classic session here. Tuesday the 18th afternoon has the most size and punch (7ft, strong energy), but the wind holds it back from perfection. For a true standout, I'd point to Sunday the 16th or Monday the 17th for clean, long-period lines, even if they're small, and the very end of the month for the building, cleaner energy. Otherwise, you might be better off finding a different spot or waiting for a different week.

Rusty.
