The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here, breaking down the surf for the next couple of weeks.
We start off in a bit of a flat patch. The first real chance to get wet isn't until Tuesday morning, August 11th, at Cabo Lastres. It's tiny – waves around 2ft from the NNW, with a period of 10 seconds. The energy is weak (69), but the wind is glassy that morning, so it's just about rideable, though the conditions are very ordinary. That little window shuts quick as the wind shifts onshore.
After that, it’s a long dry spell. From Tuesday afternoon all the way through to Friday, August 21st, it's just small, weak waves and poor conditions. A real quiet period.
Finally, on Friday the 21st, things get interesting. A solid pulse of swell rolls in – 5ft from the NNW in the morning, with a period of 11 seconds. The energy jumps to a moderate 566. That’s proper, long-period groundswell. Since Cabo Lastres is a point break, it’s well-suited for that kind of swell, giving you good shape and power. The wind is a light cross-shore, so it should be fairly clean. That said, at 5ft, this is strictly for experts. It's big, and with that long period, the sets will be packing a punch.
The next day, Saturday the 22nd, still has some fun waves around 3 to 4ft, but with some rain showers and shifting wind, it won’t be as clean. By Sunday the 23rd, it’s fading back to small stuff.
The real standout in this whole outlook is that Friday the 21st of August. It’s the one day where the swell, the break, and the conditions line up for a proper session for the experienced surfers.
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.
