Table - best surf conditions forecast for Cabo Lastres over the next 16 days.
Alright, let’s break it down for Cabo Lastres. It’s a point break that needs a decent NW groundswell to really fire, and for the first week, we’re in a dry spell. The surf’s looking poor through the first week, with tiny, weak waves and messy winds. Hang tight, because the real action doesn’t kick off until Tuesday the 21st of July.
From Sunday the 12th right through to Monday the 20th, there’s almost nothing worthwhile. Swell heights stay from 0.7ft to 3ft, and the period is mostly short, under 9 seconds – not enough to push through this point. The wind is a problem too, mostly cross or cross-on, and often with a chop. On the 20th, we get a bump in size to 5ft on Monday morning, swinging to 6ft in the afternoon, but the period is still only 7 seconds and the wind is cross-on, so the quality is poor. There's a moderate energy spike there (197 and 445), but it's rough.
The standout is without a doubt Tuesday the 21st of July. On Tuesday morning, the stars align. We’ve got 8ft of swell from the NNW with a period of 9 seconds – that’s clean, solid groundswell. The wind is glassy – dead offshore calm – and the combined energy hits 1194, which is strong. This is the peak. The break is an expert-level point, perfect because waves over 8ft are only for experts, and at 8ft it’s still accessible to very good surfers. Crowds are possible here. The swell direction from NNW is a match for optimum NW, so expect clean, lined-up waves. Tuesday afternoon stays at 8ft but the wind goes cross-on, so the magic fades.
After that, the swell drops off quickly. Wednesday the 22nd sees 6ft but with cross-onshore wind, and by Thursday the 23rd we’re back to 3ft. There’s a small glassy window on the morning of the 27th of July with 3ft and clean conditions, but nothing special.
So, if you can wait, Tuesday morning the 21st of July is your one true standout – solid swell, glassy conditions, and a point that will handle it beautifully. Get in early. The rest is a waiting game.
