The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and we’re talkin’ about Cabo Lastres in feet and miles per hour.
The water’s sittin’ at 71°F, a touch warmer than you’d expect for late summer, so it’s a little more comfortable than normal.
The one that’s gonna have you callin’ in sick is Monday, August 31st. That morning, you’ve got a clean 5ft north-west swell, 10-second period, with moderate energy (484). The wind is glassy, dead calm—you could hear a pin drop out there. That’s gonna give you clean, lined-up walls peelin’ down that point. This is an expert wave and it’s consistent, so you’ll have a few buddies out, but it’s worth it. The swell direction is right in the sweet spot.
Headin’ into the weekend before, Saturday August 29th and Sunday the 30th are smaller. Saturday morning is glassy with 4ft waves, but it’s pretty ordinary. It’ll be fun on the point if you’re just after a cruise. Sunday gets a little more size at 5ft, but the wind gets cross-on, so it’s marginal.
After that Monday, the swell just tanks. By Wednesday September 2nd, it’s down to 2ft junk, and we hit a long, poor stretch. There’s a pulse of energy on Sunday the 6th of September—4ft swell, 11-second period—but the wind is onshore, choppin’ it up. From the 2nd right through to the 12th, it’s mostly small, weak, and messy. There’s a solid week-long gap where you ain’t gonna find much to ride. A couple of glassy mornings around the 10th pop up, but the waves are short-period and barely there.
Bottom line: if you’re an expert and can hit the water the morning of August 31st, that’s your best bet. The rest of the window is mostly a write-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.

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.
