Rincon to see more background surf and summer weather.

Nothing major on the swell models or the weather forecasts, but a steady flow of weak activity over the Atlantic Ocean will provide more tiny surf lessons waves throughout the week at the most exposed surf breaks. Your usual summertime spots will have something to play with. Don’t expect too much and you won’t be overly disappointed. We continue to see a steady flow of open tropical waves pull of Africa so the southeast corner of the island should be pretty fun for the beginning of July and most likely all of the summer. With the North Atlantic continuing to have activity, we should have some really fun surf lesson conditions later in the week and into the weekend. Hit us up on social media if you want surf lessons.

More Summer Weather – No Major Surf in Rincon

Granted, the earth is not completely quiet in regards to the current weather over the North Atlantic. However, there doesn’t seem to be enough going on to make any major surf for Rincon, Puerto Rico. This is common for June. The bright side is that there is at least more small scale surf lesson days on the horizon on the low tides and that some parts of the island that are super exposed will continue to see small surf. We’re not completely flat as a lake everywhere on the island – not just yet anyways.

Tropical Analysis for Surf

Currently, the only low wind shear areas don’t have hot enough water to see any significant formation in the near term forecast in the North Atlantic. We continue to see several open waves traverse the Atlantic and the Caribbean. In addition the ITCZ is lit up (common this time of year). However, sea surface temps still aren’t unusually high and where they are the highest wind shear is far to strong to allow for developement.

My take-home from a quick look at the current weather is that we won’t see any Tropical Cyclone formation for another week or so. However, any change in the wind shear situation would merit special attention. Because we have so many open waves this year, it is very likely that one will be able to grow into something more significant if the wind shear backs down in any hot zone of the ocean. The heat is very intense, humid, and overbearing right now here in Rincon. As summer progesses, I can see plenty of Fuel in the form of heat content to feed some of these potential tropical systems.

Nonstop Tropical Waves – Small Surf Possible in Rincon.

We have a lot of open waves coming off of Africa already. Though conditions over the Caribbean and Atlantic are not currently favorable for anything major to happen, some possibilities for small surf will be created over the next 7 to 10 days. The southeast corner of the island is normally the summer spot to be and this coming week will be no exception. The passing of open waves generally gives exposed breaks a little waist to chest high wave. Some spots on the north side of the island could see surf of the same size as well. The waves are all moving from East to West so Rincon will be a bit more tucked away. However, having an open wave sit right on top of us has generally stirred up the ocean enough to see some waist high lines in Rincon in the past. On a low to incoming tide we might see some fun surf lessons waves over the weekend and into early next week.

The ocean won’t always be unfavorable for Tropical Cyclone development.

Tropical waves have been numerous this year since early spring. Just because our current weather setup is unfavorable for their development at the moment doesn’t mean we’re in the clear. Eventually, something will change. It is a good time to make sure you have all of your preparations for this year’s hurricane season now instead of when we get a named storm with the island in the 5 day cone. For now, I’m just seeing all these open tropical waves as surfing opportunities.
