major swell – Rincon Surf Report and Wave Forecast for Puerto Rico – Surfing Puerto Rico https://rinconsurfreport.com Thu, 11 Dec 2014 02:38:16 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.3.4 Rincon, Puerto Rico Surf Forecast – Dec 10, 2014 https://rinconsurfreport.com/surf-forecast/rincon-puerto-rico-surf-forecast-december-10-2014/ Thu, 11 Dec 2014 02:37:14 +0000 http://rinconsurfreport.com/?p=1808 atomic bomb in the atlantic - surfing puerto rico

This past cold-front was like a bomb set off in the Atlantic… and there’s another one on the way.

The buoys are lighting up with large long-period swell. The double overhead surf will probably continue tomorrow and then drop a notch down each day for the rest of the week into the weekend. Even though the angle will switch to a more ENE angle by the end of this swell event, the weekend could still remain in the waist to chest high range with clean conditions. I knew this month would rage! The 100% guarantee was that I would be out of town this entire time. I would have bet everything I own on there being waves this month while I was gone.

Beyond this swell event we will see small to flat conditions for a few days (ironically around the time I get back in town). However, around the 18th the models are going berserk with what could be a run of swell that could last into the new year. We might see some of the biggest swell of the season. I’m stoked to see what happens!

First Big Swell of the 2014/2015 Winter Season May be Here Soon!

The models are trending on the first real dip in the jetstream in a long time. The front tied in with this dip is currently forecast to pull off Hatteras and deepen off the coast of New York. Classic cold-front swell and possibly our first big swell of the winter season might show up as early as Monday afternoon.

While we wait to see what happens next week, the surf will remain small here in Rincon. It turns out that the Tropical Disturbance near us amplified and moved a little quicker than forecast as well as the high pressure behind the previously stalled front. This means that the waves that were coming Today through Saturday have already come in (explaining the surprise waves of yesterday). We might still have some leftover background swell today and tomorrow, but by the weekend we will most likely be flat, unless this Tropical Disturbance becomes something special.

The North side of the island should have plenty of waist to chest high waves and possibly light winds from here through the weekend.
