Get ready for another major swell event!

We look to be hit with a two pronged attack. First off we will see some NNW swell fill in Tuesday evening and by Wednesday morning we should be double overhead on sets. Thursday will remain big and Friday might drop down a notch or two while round two works its way to the island. It looks like the entire Atlantic well be pushed at Puerto Rico again for the weekend so expect to see really big short period swell again and a lot of wind. I’ve noticed the nooks and crannies have been liking the shorter period swells with the higher wave heights. They will be the best call again since wind blockage will be necessary. Tres is going to fire for several days. The swell should last into early next week.

BE SAFE!

I’m not kidding. Don’t overestimate your abilities and don’t underestimate the danger out there. It is very dangerous. Let’s try and get through this swell safely and still have fun. If you’ve had the same leash on your board for a long time you might want to consider getting a new one (or two).

More NW swell on the way for surfing Rincon.

What I like about this weather system is that there has been a steady fetch of wind pointed right at us from off the coast of the Eastern US for the past two days. If the high pressure pushes the system out and keeps that flow we should have several days of NW swell on tap. Tomorrow is going to be very small, but we should see the new NW swell show up by Friday mid-day. By the end of the day Friday expect to see some sets a few feet overhead. Over the weekend the surf should stay in the head high range and stay at least waist to chest high for the start of the coming week. Any dip from the low pressure centers and the swell could increase drastically so it’s worth watching the weather.

Plenty of weather to keep Rincon surfing!

Though we’re probably not going to see a major swell event this coming week, we have plenty of weather out in the ocean and enough swell on the buoys to see a week of fun waves. Expect waist to chest high conditions as a baseline throughout the week with Monday and Tuesday seeing some overhead sets at the right spot and tide. For the most part the winds should be light in the mornings opening up plenty of opportunities to surf several spots and avoid crowding the usual main breaks. There’s a lot of people on the island right now so I hope the light wind forecast sticks. Next weekend is looking like wind fest with extremely strong winds and bigger swell. We’ll have to see how the weather progresses during the week to confirm. Have fun, use common sense, and be respectful of others.
