The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get stuck into the outlook for Cabo Lastres. It’s a classic point break that needs a decent NW swell to get its act together, and the next couple of weeks are a bit of a mixed bag for us.
We’ve got a long, quiet spell on the way to start. From now until the 22nd of August, the surf is small, messy, or just plain flat. There’s a ton of days with nothing worth paddling out for. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and the swell stays under 3 feet with weak energy. Don't get your hopes up for anything until we hit the end of next week.
The real standout window arrives on Saturday the 22nd of August. The morning is where it’s at. We’re looking at a clean 4ft swell from the NNW, combined energy builds to a solid 406. That’s a moderate punch for a point break. The wind is light and cross-shore, keeping the wave face tidy. The period is a nice 11 seconds, so there's some proper groundswell in there. This is the best on offer right now, just be aware that the afternoon gets choppy with a 12 mph cross-onshore wind.
Then, hold onto your boards for Monday the 24th of August. The morning shows a building 5ft swell from the NW, with a period of 11 seconds and strong energy at 523. However, the wind is cross-shore and choppy, so it's a bit of a wildcard. It’s a better option for experienced surfers as the size is pushing limits for the average punter.
The absolute pick of the fortnight? That’s Tuesday the 25th of August. Both the morning and afternoon are glassy with a clean 5ft swell from the NNW. The period is 10 seconds and combined energy is a strong 374 in the morning. This is when Cabo Lastres will be offering up its best shape. It’s a classic setup with no wind to mess it up, and that size will wrap nicely around the point. Keep in mind this is a point break, so that longer period swell (10-11 seconds) is perfect for it, offering long, lined-up rides.
Crowds are listed as "sometimes" here, so it could be a bit of a session if the word gets out, especially on that peak Tuesday. The water temperature is currently 71°F, which is about two degrees warmer than we’d normally see for August. Nothing radical, just a touch on the warm side.
