The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's on the menu for Cabo Lastres.
Right off the bat, don't bother paddling out this Saturday. We're looking at a small cross-shore chop with very weak energy (47) from a tiny north-west swell. It's flat and messy.
Sunday the 13th morning is where this run starts to get interesting. A clean, 4.3ft swell from the NNW rolls in with a decent 12-second period, and light offshore wind from the ESE. The combined energy jumps to a solid moderate 506. This is a proper point break setup that will handle that longer period swell well, offering some nice shape. The crowd factor is only 'sometimes' which is a bonus. This is your first real window for a paddle.
Things go quiet again through the middle of the week. Monday and Tuesday are mostly cross-shore and weak. Wednesday the 16th has a brief glassy window in the morning with 3.6ft of swell, but it's short-period stuff, so the quality won't be there for long.
The real standout in this 16-day period is the morning of Thursday, September 25. The finder calls it "excellent for experienced surfers" and I can see why. We're looking at a solid 8.2ft groundswell from the NNW with a very long 14-second period. The combined energy is a massive 2334 – strong wave energy. The wind is a light offshore from the ESE, keeping it clean. This is a serious amount of power and size for a point break surf. The 8.2ft size puts this firmly in expert territory; beginners and most intermediates should sit this one out. It’s a standout, but it’s nearly two weeks away, so treat it as a promising target, not a guarantee.
Don't overlook the morning of Friday, September 18 either. Clean and glassy with a 4.9ft NW groundswell at 12 seconds and strong energy (607). It's slightly smaller than the big one on the 25th, but with perfect conditions and no wind, it might be the cleaner, more user-friendly session of the whole forecast.
After the big swell on the 25th, it drops back down to a more moderate 4.6-5.2ft over the weekend, with some cross-shore wind. Not a write-off, but not the main event.

A general guide to surfing at Cabo Lastres can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Cabo Lastres may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
