The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break it down.
We’re looking at a classic summer run for Cabo Lastres. A solid point break, but the next week and a half is a bit of a waiting game. The surf is there, but it’s mostly small and the wind is a constant battle. The real standout is hiding in the first few days.
The week kicks off on Monday, July 27th. It’s not perfect, but it’s the best we’ve got. We’re seeing a 5ft swell from the NNW, with a period of 10 seconds. That’s a decent groundswell, and the energy is moderate at 480. The water is a touch warmer than usual at 70°, which is a nice bonus. The wind is a light 6 mph from the ENE, making it a cross-on breeze. It’s a bit scratchy, but for a point break it’s workable. The swell is a bit much for beginners, but for the experts who call this place home, it’s a goer. The crowd factor is “sometimes,” so you might have some company, but it won’t be a zoo.
After that, the swell drops fast. Tuesday morning, July 28th, is down to 4ft, and the wind is still cross. The energy falls to 289. From Wednesday, July 29th, through to the end of the first week, we’re in the doldrums. Swell sizes are under 3ft, periods are dropping, and the wind keeps shifting onshore. There’s a long stretch of days with nothing exciting. The morning of August 2nd has a brief moment of 4ft swell with glassy conditions, but the energy is only 111 and the period is short at 7 seconds. It’s surfable, but barely worth paddling out for.
The second week doesn’t offer much redemption. A few glassy mornings with tiny 2ft to 2ft waves, but it’s a waiting game. The only flicker of life is right at the end. On Sunday, August 9th, a new NNW swell pushes in at 4ft with a period of 9 seconds and energy of 197. But it’s raining and the wind is a messy 12 mph cross. It’s not clean, and it’s not the kind of day you tell your mates about.
Honestly, if you’re looking for a paddle, the best bet is the first morning. Monday, July 27th, is the only time the swell and conditions align enough to make it worthwhile. After that, you’re looking at a long, flat spell with a few tiny windows that are more frustrating than fun. For the rest of the run, it’s more of a kite-surfing setup if the wind holds, not a surfer’s paradise.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
