Summer swell on the way for surfing Rincon, Puerto Rico.

A weak front will pull of the states with enough force to push some small waves at Rincon, Puerto Rico. The irony is that the entire island should have waves this weekend. The south should continue to see tropical swell from the non-stop chain of tropical waves pumping off Africa and crossing the ITCZ. Here in Rincon expect to see some waist to chest high sets at the most exposed breaks during the peak of the swell on Saturday. I wouldn’t get too jumpy about Friday or Saturday. Don’t get me wrong, a surprise early arrival and extended stay would be awesome. I just don’t see it happening. Conditions will most likely fade out to flat by Sunday evening. Other parts of the island will continue to see small to medium tropical swell throughout the week.

The earth is acting a bit strange.

This wouldn’t be a thorough forecast without mentioning the weird weather pattern we’re seeing right now. We have a cold-front pulling off the states and non-stop tropical waves passing in the Caribbean. It’s as if neither winter nor summer want to take a break. The Pacific is hurricane fest and extremely hot. Definitely summer over there. But here, the Atlantic doesn’t know what it wants out of life. It’s like to be hot, it likes to be cold, it doesn’t like to push swell at Puerto Rico, but it will when it feels like it… I guess it all doesn’t really matter as long as we get to surf. That being said, being willing to explore the south coast of the island might pay off if you know where to look.

Weak Cold-Front – Small surf continues for Rincon, Puerto Rico.

There is another weather activity in the Atlantic to generate some background swell over the next week. Thursday and Friday look to be the biggest days with some chest high sets possible. For the most part we’ll see little knee to waist high surf lesson waves. If you’re willing to make the drive up to the North side of the island, you’ll probably be able to fun some really fun waves when the pulses come in. The winds should stay light most of the mornings, and the NE angle to the incoming swells will be more of a direct hit up there. Late in the forecast period (this weekend), those headed to the Southeast corner of Puerto Rico should find a decent wave as well. In June, ANY surf is better than no surf!
