Surprise! The Tropics Turn on in October

Whether or not this giant disturbance becomes a hurricane or not is kind of irrelevant. Unless it completely disintigrates it will make surf for Puerto Rico. The North coast of the island will get the brunt of the swell due to the angle and movement of the weather system. But it looks like Rincon will get enough of a wrap-around to stay fun all week into the weekend. I can’t believe that this giant beast chugged along through insane wind shear across the Atlantic only to park itself in our swell window which will actually be a considerably lighter shear environment for the storm.

Rincon: Expect waist to chest high NE swell and ENE wrap-around swell to come in from now through the weekend. Some pulses will be bigger as the weather system gets closer. Perfect longboard conditions will persist and some shortboard spots could be working as long as the wind plays nice. The winds are supposed to be pretty light for us pretty much the whole swell event.

Isabela/Aguadilla: You will be going off with plenty of head high surf at the usual prime spots. Some days will see some sets in the 2-4ft overhead range. The winds will be light, but they’re not currently forecast to blow hard South so you might have to look for wind blockage to get glassy conditions. You should have fun surf through the weekend into early next week.

Get Ready to Surf!

I’m glad my forecast from five days ago played out exactly as I hoped (for the most part). Today had some awesome waves! Granted the angle of this swell is still fairly NE (i was hoping for more North), but it’s at least big enough to get many spots working. We should have some fun surf in the waist to chest high range for most of the early to mid-week before fading to complete flatness by next weekend. Due to the NE angle. The North Coast of Puerto Rico will have a lot more size and power than Rincon. Rincon will be Longboarder’s delight for the next three days. On the right tide, some of the shortboard spots should be fun too. I’m just stoked to be able to surf again. I’m also happy the nights are cooling down. The 100 degree temps during the day are still a bummer, but at least it’s cooling down at night.

Rincon: Monday should have some chest to head high surf early and then drop off a bit by sundown. Tuesday will probably have plenty of waist to chest high surf. Wednesday will be small and fade out to flat until the next swell making weather system.

Aguadilla/Isabela: You guys should remain head high plus through tomorrow with chest high sets persistent through most of the week. A possible East swell might show up from a tropical blob as this current swell fades out keeping the surf above chest high up there through next weekend.
