The Changing Ocean


Yesterday, we blogged about the big swell that was in and it was...and yet, today as you may see from the above photograph, taken this afternoon around 3:30 p.m., the Caribbean side of Rincon's ocean was calm! When folks call us for reservations at the Lemontree, they often ask about the wave action in Rincon. If they are a surfer, then they want to hear that the waves will be perfect for surfing when they are here...and if they are a diver or snorkeler, they want to hear that the ocean will be wonderfully flat and calm! As you can see from one day to the next, the ocean changes. Yesterday the surfers were thrilled and this afternoon we had swimmers in the water here and a snorkler searching the reef! If you have the pleasure of coming to Rincon for several days, it is likely that you will have the fun of watching the changing ocean up close and personal! The ocean can change from day to day and actually, from morning to afternoon as well. Mother Nature is a powerful force and has a very independent mind of her own.
