The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here, looking at the next couple of weeks for our stretch of coast.
We’re looking at a slow start with a whole lot of nothing before things get properly interesting. From now, through the weekend and into the start of next week, the ocean’s pretty much flat and sleepy. Won't be worth paddling out until at least Thursday the 27th, and even that day is a bit of a tease with a lumpy, cross-shore mess.
The real story kicks off Friday the 28th of August. A solid groundswell builds in from the WNW, and the standout here is Cabo Lastres. Early Friday morning it’s holding 8 ft from the WNW with a nice 10-second period, light cross-shore wind, and a big jump in energy (1636). That's a powerful, grunty swell. No doubt, this is expert territory - way too much wave for anyone without serious experience. The afternoon cleans up even more with 10 ft and a clean offshore breeze from the NNW, but again, this is a big, heavy point break and only for the best.
If you were hoping to get a piece of it in better conditions, Saturday morning the 29th is glassy with light ENE winds, 6 ft from the NW, and that same solid period. The water is sitting at 72°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you don’t need the thickest wetsuit. Crowds can be an issue here sometimes, so get in early for the clean sets.
Then after that, we see another pulse building for Thursday the 3rd of September. Another absolute cracker of a morning with glassy conditions, 8 ft from the NW, and a very long period of 12 seconds (1500 energy). This is proper groundswell. At a point break like Cabo Lastres, that long period will wrap in and groom into some incredibly long, walled-up waves. Again, this is strictly for the experienced crew. The following days hold size but the wind gets messy, so that Thursday morning window is the golden one.
So to sum it up: it’s a two-week forecast with a big, boring hole at the start. The only real standouts are the mornings of Friday the 28th of August and Thursday the 3rd of September for the experts, with the Saturday morning of the 29th offering the best mix of size and clean, glassy conditions for those who can handle it.
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.
