Daily Rincon Surf Report - Comments
Thursday, January 1, 2009 (1-1-09) 7:30am Avg Size: Waist High Biggest Wave Seen: Head High Winds: Calm right now but they'll pick up in the afternoon. Water Temp: 79º F Air Temp: 72º F right now with a predicted high of 83º F for the afternoon.
Swell's here! Only problem is that it's only breaking good at spots on the south closest to the tip of Rincon. Crowd factor is going to be put a damper on things but the waves are perfect in the waist to chest high plus region with loooong lines. Everywhere else is pretty small and closing out on shore.
1:00pm UPDATE
Still some sets rolling in around chest to head high at the spots closest to the tip of rincon on the south. Everywhere else is small/flat and not really working as you can see in the pictures. Crowd was pretty intense this morning, it's fizzled out a little bit for lunch now, but the waves also aren't as good as they were this morning. Still plenty of waves out there, just a longer wait between sets.

Beautiful setup! As the NE swell fades out today, the north swell starts coming in tommorrow. Then tomorrow builds into saturday where we should see our big N swell peak out and then stick around and slowly fade into mid-next week. Great time for surfing puerto rico!
