We continue surfing small waves in Rincon, PR.

Today we say goodbye to February 2021, a month of historic crowds and minimal waves. We had a few fun runs of swell but overall not the best February. For now we look to stay on the smaller scale wind swell for about another week. The Bermuda high is already a very strong and pronounced feature of the current weather cycles. So far most of the fronts have to move up and over before exploding in the North Atlantic to deliver massive swell at Europe and Africa. It’s just not a season for our side of the Atlantic. This has happened off and on over the years but seems to be more frequent as of late. I blame higher heat. I’m not a meteorologist, but as an observer of the weather for many years the earth seems as though it is trying to find entropy slightly differently than in the past. Due to higher heat it seems more common now for warmth to be pulled northward as opposed to cold air being pushed down. I might be wrong, but I’ve watched satellite loops over and over again for a good portion of my life. Yes we have the NAO, El Niño and La Niña, and other established phenomena to consider, but at the end of the day it’s all just heat differentials that drive everything. I guess the earth likes to keep things interesting.

Decent wind swell on the way for surfing Puerto Rico.

The strong high pressure visible on the map above and northerly wind fetch means we should see a solid dose of wind swell and heavy winds showing up by Tuesday. Expect some fun 2ft overhead surf with bigger sets and astronomical crowds. I’m surprised that the AirBnb website hasn’t been crashed yet on account of every single AirBnB on the island being booked simultaneously. The crowds have been absurd. With heavy winds of this coming swell there won’t be too many options for escaping the crowds either. Nonetheless, the waves should stick around for a couple of days before fading out to the long period background swell of whatever the massive storm does in the far North Atlantic. It’s just another one of those seasons were the other side of the Atlantic is where all the surf is hitting.
