Table - best surf conditions forecast for Cabo Lastres over the next 16 days.
Right, let's talk swell. It's looking like a long dry spell before anything shows up. Best to be patient.
Don't grab your board just yet. For the next week and a half, the surf is almost non-existent. We're looking at tiny surf, from about 1ft to 2ft, with short, weak periods. The wind is mainly cross-onshore, so it's going to be bumpy and small. This flat spell goes from now all the way to about the 18th of July. It happens around here, so it's not a shock, but it's a bummer.
There's only one bright spot in this whole 16-day forecast, and it's a small one. Keep your eyes on Cabo Lastres. This is an expert-level point break, so it's not for the faint of heart.
The best chance for a wave is the morning of Thursday, July 16th. The swell is small, only about 3ft from the WNW. But the wind is what makes it special – it's forecast to be glassy. That means the surface will be clean and smooth, which is a huge deal when the swell is this small. The wave energy is still low (50), but that glassy wind makes it the pick of the bunch. The swell direction lines up perfectly with what this spot likes.
Later on, around the weekend of the 19th-21st of July, the swell builds to about 4ft from the NNW, with moderate energy hitting 257 on Sunday morning. The period is still short at 8 seconds. The wind is mostly cross-onshore or cross-shore, so it's not as clean as that Thursday window, but there's definitely more water moving. Because it's a point break, it will handle the size and direction better than a beach.
So, for the experts out there, the morning of Thursday the 16th is your glassy, clean call for some small but tidy waves. The following days have more size, but the wind will be messing it up a bit.

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. Our Cabo Lastres surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Cabo Lastres) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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.
