Possible Surf Taunts Puerto Rico

We have a lot going on in the Atlantic and it teeters on the fine line between surf makers and flatness. First off, forget Tropical Storm Ida. I told you that those two storms (TD Nine and TD Ten at the time) would amount to nothing and be meaningless – I’ve been right so far. Tropical swell needs a lot of factors working for it to make perfect waves. It does happen at times and makes for memorable swells, which is why everyone gets excited over a new storm forming. However, this is not the year for tropical swells. Now the two lows in the open Atlantic are what we’re looking at. If we can get some easterly movement from the one off the US coast or some downward movement from the one way north of PR we could see some fun waves in the chest to head high range. If they at least just build some northerly fetch on their west sides we should see some waist to chest high waves at many Rincon spots. The winds are forecast to be pretty much dead from here through to next week. Any swell that shows up should be glassy in the morning just about everywhere. So if we do get waves there should be plenty of spots to choose from. Don’t all just crowd one peak.
