The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s break down the surf at Cabo Lastres over the next couple of weeks.
The start is flat and frustrating. Monday and Tuesday are poor – small, weak swell and cross-shore winds messing things up. Not worth paddling out.
Wednesday the 16th shows a little life. Morning is glassy, 0.8m, clean but pretty weak. Afternoon jumps to 1.6m but the wind swings onshore and it gets messy. Moderate energy at 520.
Thursday the 17th is better. Glassy morning, 1.4m NW at 11 seconds, energy 480. Clean, but not a standout.
Friday the 18th is the big one. Morning is clean with 1.5m and 9 seconds, energy 528 – surfable. But the afternoon is serious: 2.5m from the NNW at 15 seconds, energy jumps to 2563. That’s strong, heavy, groundswell. Expert only. The point will handle it better than a beach, but you better know what you’re doing.
Saturday the 19th has size – 2.1m, 13 seconds, energy 1492 – but east wind brings a cross-shore chop. Marginal.
Sunday the 20th drops to 1.4m and the afternoon gets blown out. Skip it.
Monday the 21st brings 2.0m, 14 seconds, energy 1567 – powerful but cross-shore wind again. Tricky.
Tuesday the 22nd is smaller, 1.3m, with cross-shore wind. Nothing special.
Wednesday the 23rd is tiny – 0.8m – glassy morning but dead by afternoon.
Here’s your standout: Saturday the 26th. Dead calm – zero wind, glassy as a lake – 1.1m NW at 12 seconds, energy 385. Not the biggest, but perfect conditions. Clean, fun, quality waves. If you only surf one day, make it this one.
Sunday the 27th is also good – 1.7m in the morning, glassy again, energy 655. Still clean and fun. Afternoon gets a bit cross-shore but the morning is worth it.
Monday the 28th is big – 2.3m – but a moderate 25 km/h cross-shore wind chops it up. Energy is 1394, plenty of push, but messy.
Tuesday the 29th closes it out nicely – 1.4m in the morning, clean with a slight cross-offshore breeze, energy 345. Good, clean, head-high waves to end.
Water temp is 21° – a touch warmer than normal, which is a nice little bonus.
Cabo Lastres is a consistent point, but rated expert for a reason. The longer-period swells – anything over 11 seconds – line it up beautifully but bring more power and longer lulls. Friday the 18th and Monday the 21st are serious, expert-only days. Beginners should stick to the smaller, glassy mornings.
Bottom line: the first few days are junk, the middle has size but chop, and the real highlights are Saturday the 26th and Tuesday the 29th. Get out when it’s glassy and you’ll have a blast.
Signing off, 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.
