Oooooooh you wanted waves, NOT wind. Sorry. Just got wind. I&#8217;ve put writing this forecast off for so long because i was waiting for a change in the weather. The change hasn&#8217;t happened. High pressure continues to dominate and amplify over the Northern Atlantic. None of the winter storms or cold fronts dip out into our swell window. It&#8217;s been a long stretch of this pattern so hopefully it will change soon. The wind however is not currently forecast to relent, not even for a day. The light at the end of the tunnel comes about a week from now when hopefully some longer period NE swell might show up from way up North in the Atlantic. It will have to be quite the powerful swell to push through the still 20-30mph ENE winds that just won&#8217;t stop. In the meantime, the short period wind swell will be all we have for the next 7-10 days. At least there has been some small windows at some of the more exposed breaks for a fun session to be had. If you can catch a tiny break in the wind with the tide low enough, the small waves can be fun. If you&#8217;re a beginner or wanting to learn how to surf, Rincon will be your dream come true for the next week and a half. The tucked away spots continue to have a small peeler perfect for beginners and lessons. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Heavy winds and more wind swell to surf in Rincon, Puerto Rico.
