The Lowdown
Alright, grab a coffee, because this one's a stinker. The whole 16-day window is a total flat spell. No surf to speak of. There's a big gap from the start all the way through, and it's a blank run that's pretty normal for this area when the swell just doesn't show.
The only spot in the game is Cabo Lastres (point), but even that's a tough sell. The water is sitting at 70°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that's about the only thing that's not disappointing.
Let's break it down. Friday the 31st of July, we've got a glassy morning with a tiny 1ft NW swell and a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is a weak 20. It's clean, but there's nothing to ride. The afternoon gets messy with a cross-on wind. Saturday the 1st of August is more of the same: tiny, weak, and poor. Sunday the 2nd has a glassy morning, but the swell is a pathetic 2ft from the NNE with a period of just 5 seconds. The energy is only 34. You'd be bobbing around doing nothing.
The whole first week is a dead loss. The 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th of August are all the same story: swell heights barely hitting 2ft, periods under 10 seconds, and combined energy readings that are all in the double digits. There's a few glassy windows, but with no swell to push through, it's just flat calm. The 9th through to the 15th of August offers no hope either. The swell never breaks above 2ft, and the energy stays weak. The 15th of August is the worst of it, with a combined energy of just 8 to 9. Honestly, it's a write-off.
This is a tough one to call a standout, but if you had to pick a time to be on a paddleboard on a lake, the morning of Thursday the 6th of August might be your best bet. It's glassy, and the swell is 2ft from the NW with a period of 7 seconds. The energy is a little higher at 53. But surf? No. This setup is more interesting for a kite surfer if they can get some wind.
For a wave that's consistent and exposed to the NW, it's a real kick in the teeth. It's an expert-only point break, but there's nothing for even the best to work with. The crowds are only sometimes an issue, but they won't be a problem because there's no one out. Sometimes it stays poor for a while, and forecasts can change, but right now, it's a full two weeks of nothing.

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.
