The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this is a tough stretch for the Asturias coast. We’ve got a long, quiet run ahead before anything worth paddling out for shows up.
The first real chance of a wave comes on Tuesday, July 28th, at Cabo Lastres (Spain). Even then, it’s a struggle. Tuesday morning brings a small 4ft swell from the NNW with a 10-second period, and the wind is light and cross-shore. The combined wave energy is moderate (289), but the conditions are just marginal, with questionable tide and a messy surface. Afternoon drops off quick, and then the rest of the week through to the 6th of August is a write-off – tiny waves, poor wind, and a lot of glassy mornings with nothing to ride. It’s a real desert.
The one standout, and I mean the only one worth your time, arrives on Friday, August 7th. The morning is the golden window. We’ve got a solid 7ft swell from the NW, period around 8 seconds, and the wind goes glassy – flat calm, perfect conditions. The combined energy jumps to a strong 796, and the forecast says very good surf conditions. This is a proper pulse, but at 7ft, this is expert territory. It’s going to be powerful and punchy on the point. The afternoon still holds a decent 7ft swell from the NNW, but the wind swings cross-onshore, messing it up.
After that, it’s back to the doldrums. The 8th and beyond are tiny, weak, and not worth a second look. The water temp is sitting around 69°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s academic when there’s no surf.
So, mark your calendar for the morning of August 7th at Cabo Lastres. That’s your one shot. The rest of the 16 days, you’re better off checking the spots that don’t need waves.
Rusty.

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.
