Triangulo Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about Triangulo for the next couple of weeks.

We’ve got a slow start, with nothing worth mentioning until Thursday the 13th. That’s when we finally see some energy. The water is running much warmer than usual for August, sitting at 71°, a pretty wild difference from what’s normal around here.

The best bet of the whole run is Friday the 14th. There’s a 1.3m SW groundswell with a 16-second period, so it’s got some long, clean lines. Winds are clean cross-off from the SSE, making the surface glassy. The combined energy is moderate at 1030 (moderate wave energy), and the swell direction is bang on what this reef wants. It’s not too big, and the consistency should be solid—this is the one to aim for.

We get another bump Tuesday the 18th, with waves hitting 2.1m from the SSW. The period drops to 13 seconds, and the wind turns cross-shore, creating a bit of chop. The energy is strong at 1490 (strong wave energy), but it’s not as clean as Friday the 14th. That size will also be for experienced surfers only.

From Saturday the 22nd, things fall off a cliff. Waves drop to 0.4m and stay there for days, with combined energy down in the 100s (weak wave energy). From the 22nd through the 25th, it’s basically flat and poor. You’re looking at a four-day dry spell.

There’s a small revival on Wednesday the 26th, and by Friday the 28th, we’re back to a 1.6m SW swell with combined energy hitting 1006 (moderate wave energy). Winds stay light and cross-shore, so the end of the period might actually offer a few decent, clean waves again.

Triangulo is always a bit inconsistent and rare to break, so when it does fire, it’s a special spot. But you gotta be patient and pick that Friday the 14th slot.

Rusty.
