High pressure takes center stage – surf in Rincon next week?

This week’s long period swell has been super fun. I’d like to tell you that it will be around indefinitely, but unfortunately it will fade out today and tomorrow. Isabela and Aguadilla have been really good with these last two long period NE swells (NE swell favors that area more than Rincon in general). And the good news is that up there should continue to be fun over the weekend. Rincon will probably go small to flat with perfect surf lessons waves.

Now that we’ve gotten that out of the way, let’s talk about the next opportunity for surf here in Rincon. I still see plenty of weather over the states that suggests that something will follow the pattern we’ve seen so far with one adjustment – a longer lag. It might be a week or so, but i definitely see another long period swell on the horizon from the NE. Hopefully it will be as good as this past one. Take the time on the smaller or flat days to get work done or play with your kids.

Everybody’s working for the weekend in Rincon, PR.

The work week will be flat here in Rincon so get your work done. Meanwhile we should have another storm work it’s magic out in the North Atlantic during the work week. If it amplifies enough and gets a big enough NE fetch pointed at us, we should see another long period pulse show up for the weekend. So far all of the major models are calling for this scenario. The winds are forecast to be relatively light especially in the early hours of the day. So if you want to surf a little more size on this weekend’s swell, going up to Isabela would be the call. Rincon will probably only be about waist to chest high, but the most exposed breaks on the north side of the island should see some surf that is head high to a couple feet overhead. Arecibo should also be pretty fun too.

Finally some surf on the way – get ready!

This weekend should feature a decent swell event with some chest to head high surf and bigger sets on Sunday. This is how I see it playing out. The surf will start off in the waist high range on Saturday and then build into chest to head high by the afternoon and evening. The wind is supposed to be out of the east so the west facing side of Rincon should remain surfable. Sunday will be the best day with chest to head high surf, some 2ft overhead sets, and glassy conditions. Monday will be the fade out day with waist to chest high surf, clean conditions, and become less consistent as the day goes on. Early next week might see weaker leftovers linger around and background swell.

Everybody’s Surfing For The Weekend!

The models have been consistently putting a fun little chest high swell on Rincon’s beaches for the weekend. Until then it will be quite small to completely flat. Some days will have a good surf lesson wave early in the morning so if you’ve been wanting to learn to surf this will be a good week. I’ll update as necessary but count the work week out for any considerable surf.

Hitch a ride up north if you want to surf this week.

Rincon will stay small to flat all week with a small surf lesson wave and offshore/sideshore winds. Great week to make sure you’re caught up on work. The north side of the island will have head high and bigger waves just about every day of the work week, but the wind is going to crank. The sunrise session should still offer some semi-clean conditions at the most exposed breaks up there, but as early as 8:00am it may start to chop out and be garbage by 10:00am.

New swell currently forecast for next weekend!

Remember when I said to get your work done during the week? Well we might see some head high and bigger conditions with offshore winds next weekend right here in Rincon. I’ve eye-balling the North Atlantic a lot lately and knew at some point a long period NE swell was in the making. Now the models are finally starting to pick up on it too. It makes sense for this time of year. I hope it works out.
