A swell is in...Puerto Rico


Today a swell arrived. Not a grand one but a swell none the less. It came in from the north and wrapped around the Rincon corner. Up at Steps this afternoon it must have been 8 feet but here at the Lemontree it was barely a foot or so. The picture was made at Domes beach with Desecheo Island as a back drop. If you want to keep up with the wind and waves a great site is Windfinder.

I have the site set up for Aguadilla which gives a good approximation of what we can expect at the surfing beaches here in Rincon. If you check out the link you will see that the next big swell is due to start filling in on Friday afternoon and last through at least Sunday. This will be great news for surfers and those who love to watch their rides. It will also wash out diving and snorkeling here for a bit. If you want to dive this weekend the report suggests that a short drive south to Parguera, about an hour, will fill the bill. Check out West Divers for a great wall dive. Ask for Victor and tell then the Lemontree sent you.
