The Lowdown
Alright, folks, it’s Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you. The next couple of weeks are going to test your patience. There’s some swell on the way, but it’s going to be a waiting game to line it up with clean conditions.
The first real chance we get is on the 9th. Wednesday morning, Cabo Lastres is looking at a NW swell at 4ft, with that period stretching out to 11 seconds. More importantly, it’s glassy. Dead flat water. That’s the time to be in the water. The energy is moderate at 543, and for a point break like this, that longer period will make it feel better than the size suggests. We’re looking at some real potential here. The water temp is sitting at 70.3°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, so you might get away with a slightly thinner suit.
Then again on the 10th, Thursday morning, we have another window. It’s clean and glassy with a 4ft NW swell, 11-second period. It’s a similar setup to the day before, so if you miss Wednesday, Thursday morning is your next best bet. The energy is a bit lower at 334, but the conditions are what you want.
After that, the waves get smaller and the wind gets messy. We go through a period with a lot of cross-shore slop and smaller swells. There’s a small, clean window on the 14th with a 2ft swell and glassy conditions, but it’s pretty small—surfable, but you’ll be working for it.
Now, let’s talk about the end of the run. Look at the 19th, Saturday morning. There’s a bump of new energy. The swell is up to 5-6ft from the NNW, with a 12-second period. The combined energy is strong, sitting at 850. That’s the biggest, most powerful swell of the whole outlook. The wind is a light cross-shore, which is not ideal, but it’s not going to ruin it. This is the standout of the second week. It’s further out, so don’t hold your breath just yet—forecasts can change, but the potential is there. Afternoon brings more size at 6ft, but that wind kicks up to 15 mph from the ENE, which will chop it up. So, the morning is the call.
Honestly, for a point break, that long-period groundswell is going to be working nicely. Just keep an eye on the forecast. There will be some waves, but you gotta pick your moments. This is Cabo Lastres—when it’s on, it’s worth the wait.
