The Lowdown
Alright, let's break down what Cabo Lastres has on offer. We're looking at a bit of a slow start before the ocean wakes up.
First few days are pretty rough. Friday the 11th and Saturday the 12th have tiny, weak surf – about 1 to 3 feet of NW windswell, short periods, and cross-shore winds. The energy is weak, and the quality is poor. Not worth dragging the board out.
Things get interesting on Sunday the 13th morning. We've got a 4-foot swell from the NNW, with a 12-second period, and offshore ESE winds at 6 mph making it glassy. Energy is moderate at 508, and the waves should be clean and fun. The water temp is about average for the season. This is an expert point break, so it's for the crew that knows what they're doing.
After that, the wind swings cross-shore and the quality tanks again for a few days. Another good window pops up early Thursday the 17th morning: a 5-foot NW swell, 11-second period, and glassy conditions. Good energy at 476 and clean surf.
The second week looks more promising, but it's a longer-range call so keep an eye on it. Saturday the 19th morning is the standout. We're seeing a 4-foot NNW swell with a very long 13-second period, and dead-calm glassy conditions. The energy is strong at 572. That long period means better shaped, powerful waves and longer waits between sets – great for this point break.
Later, around Sunday the 20th and into Thursday the 24th, the swell builds. Heights hit 6 to 7 feet, with energy readings in the thousands – really strong ocean. But the winds are mostly cross-shore, making the conditions marginal. This is big, powerful stuff for experienced surfers only.
Beginners take note: when the swell goes over 5 feet, it's pushing your limits. Over 8 feet and it's for the experts only.

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.
