The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the table for this stretch of coast.
The coming week-and-a-half looks pretty bleak for the most part, with a real gap in decent surf. The action doesn’t kick off until the middle of the next week. The only real standout lands on Sunday the 13th.
So, we’ve got a fair bit of quiet time. From Tuesday morning the 8th all the way through to Saturday the 12th, it’s a write-off. The small amount of swell that shows up is messy, with cross-onshore winds and choppy conditions. The best you’ll do in that first week is a marginal session on Thursday morning, but even then it’s cross-shore and weak. Tuesday the 8th morning has a tiny 3ft from the NW with a 10-second period and glassy conditions, but it’s just not enough to get excited about. The combined swell energy is only 200 (moderate), but the quality is poor.
The real window opens up on Sunday the 13th. This is the pick of the forecast. Cabo Lastres (point) is the spot to be on Sunday morning. We’re looking at a clean 5ft from the NNW with a solid 13-second period, which is a nice long-period groundswell. The combined wave energy jumps right up to 713 (strong). And the best part? The wind is dead calm, glassy as it gets. That’s about as good as it gets for a point break. The offshore direction is S, so the optimum swell direction from the NW is a perfect match. These are expert-level waves, and it’s consistent, so it’ll be doing its thing. The water temp is about average for the time of year.
After that, the next week falls away again. Monday the 14th and Tuesday the 22nd show some life, but it’s marginal with cross-shore winds and weaker energy. The 21st of September has a 5ft NW swell with a 11-second period and 489 (moderate to strong) energy, but the cross-shore wind means it’ll be wonky. It’s a flicker of hope, but nothing to rival that Sunday 13th morning.
Wrap it up: if you’re itching for a paddle, you’ve got a long wait until Sunday the 13th. That’s the morning to be charging. Everything else is a no-go or a maybe.

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.
