The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's get into it.
The first few days are a bit of a write-off, with only small, messy waves on offer. The real action is a long way off, but there's a couple of windows that look worth waiting for.
Monday afternoon (August 31st) brings a NW swell of 5.2ft at Cabo Lastres, but the wind is a light NNE breeze, which puts it onshore. The energy is moderate, and it's a marginal call, so I'd give it a miss.
The first real glimmer of hope comes on Tuesday morning, September 1st. The swell drops to 4.3ft from the NW, but the wind is ENE glassy. That's a major positive. It's clean. This is a decent shout for a morning session.
Then the surf drops right off. From Wednesday, September 2nd, through to Wednesday, September 9th, it's a real flat spell. Swell heights are tiny, and the winds are a mess. There's a glassy morning on September 4th, but the swell is only 2ft, and another on September 6th, with a 3.9ft swell from the NNW, but it's a long period (11 sec) groundswell, which can be tricky at a point. I'd still be tempted to have a look at that Sunday morning session.
The next decent window looks like Thursday morning, September 10th. A 5.9ft NW swell rolls in, with a light E wind, producing a cross-shore. The energy is strong, but the tide or conditions might be questionable.
Now, the standout. The best on offer is hands down Tuesday morning, September 15th. This is a solid 4.9ft swell from the NNW, with a very long period of 12 seconds, and glassy, offshore NW wind. The energy is strong. This is a classic groundswell that will love a point break like Cabo Lastres. It's going to be powerful, well-shaped, and clean. The afternoon is also decent, with a 5.9ft NW swell, but the wind turns onshore, so the morning is the moment. This is an expert-level break, so it's not for everyone, but for those who can handle it, this is the one to circle. The crowd can be 'sometimes' an issue, but on a Tuesday, you might score it quiet.
Outside of that, things are pretty ordinary. The water is about 69°, which is normal for the time of year.

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.
