The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Cabo Lastres.
To be straight with you, the start of this outlook is pretty grim. There’s a real dry spell for the first few days. The good news? It loosens up later in the period, but patience is the name of the game here.
The water temp is 71°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
Wednesday, the 26th, has a tiny 1ft NW swell with a 9-second period, but the wind is a cross-off and it’s all pretty weak, energy reading is just 24. Thursday, the 27th, sees a slight bump in the afternoon with a clean 2ft NW swell and offshore wind. The energy is still weak at 74, but you can at least get wet. Friday the 28th morning offers a bit more push with a 5ft NW swell and clean conditions, the energy reading jumps to 255, still pretty ordinary.
Then we get to the standout. Sunday the 30th is where it’s at. The morning session is looking like the jewel of this outlook. You’ve got a solid 5ft NW swell, an 11-second period, glassy wind, and the combined energy is up to 568. That’s got some grunt. Expect good surf conditions here. The wind is dead calm, the waves will be clean, and that period is long enough to bring some proper shape. This is an expert-only wave over 5ft though, so be ready. Just know that crowds are *possible* here, so get out early.
Monday the 31st morning is another good one, with similar 5ft NW swell, glassy conditions, and good energy at 396. That’s a solid follow-up session.
After Monday, it drops off again. The energy fades and winds go onshore or cross-shore, leaving the rest of the week pretty flat and sloppy. There are small pulses, 16 days out, like on September 6th and 8th, with some NW swell around 3 to 4ft and energy in the 200–300 range, but the winds are messy and the surf quality is poor or marginal. Those are long-range looks, so keep an eye but don’t plan around them.
So, to sum it up: it’s a slow start, a killer window from Sunday the 30th into Monday the 31st, and then a lot of waiting again. The wait might be worth it for that Sunday glass-off.

Information about the Cabo Lastres Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Cabo Lastres provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. 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.
