The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here, looking at the next couple of weeks at Cabo Lastres. Let’s be straight with you: this is a stretch where patience is the name of the game. We’ve got a long 16-day forecast, but the first week and a half is mostly flat or tiny, with a lot of blown-out, choppy conditions. The good news is that we do see a pulse of more promising swell trying to show up right at the very end.
The first several days, from Thursday the 6th through to about Monday the 19th, are honestly a struggle. Swell heights are mostly below 3 feet, often down around 1 to 2 feet, with short periods mostly in the 5 to 9 second range. The wind is all over the place, mostly cross-onshore or light cross, making for bumpy, unappealing waves. Water is sitting at a balmy 72°F, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year, so at least the water temp is comfortable. You’ll see a few mornings with glassy conditions (like Saturday the 8th morning, Wednesday the 12th morning, and Sunday the 16th morning), but the swell is just too small to do much with. Monday the 18th morning and Wednesday the 19th morning show a tiny bump to 3 feet, but with marginal conditions, it’s still not really worth the paddle.
The glimmer of hope finally arrives on Friday the 21st. The morning sees the swell start to build to 5 feet from the WNW, with a period lengthening to 5 seconds. The wind is cross-shore from the west at 9 mph, so there’s a little chop, but the combined energy is up there. This is the first day where things start to look interesting. By Friday afternoon, the swell pushes to 5 feet from the WNW, with a period of 6 seconds. The wind picks up though, coming cross-onshore from the NW at 12 mph, making it a moderate, choppy affair. Still, 5 feet is the biggest we’ve seen in this entire forecast.
The one standout session in the whole window is Friday the 21st. It’s not perfect, but it’s the only day with real pulse and size. The morning offers the best compromise with lighter cross-shore winds and building swell. The afternoon has more size but also more chop. For the experts out there, this is the time to keep an eye on. For beginners, that 5-foot swell with choppy winds is going to be too much.
Rusty, signing off. Don’t get your hopes up too early, but Friday the 21st has some promise.
