The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, but we’ll do this in feet and knots.
The next 16 days start off real quiet at Cabo Lastres, with nothing much to speak of until the end of August. There’s a gap of a few flat days before the first decent session.
Water temp is about 72°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year. Feels good on the skin.
First day worth a look is Friday morning, August 28th. Cabo Lastres is a point break, and it’s got a clean 4ft swell from the WNW, period 7 seconds. Wind is a light cross-offshore breeze from the WSW at 6 knots, so the face will be clean. The combined energy is moderate at 306. It’s not the best of the run, but it’s a start. The afternoon gets messy with a cross-on wind, so hit it early.
Saturday morning, August 29th, is glassy with a light offshore from the ENE at 3 knots. Swell is 4ft from the NNW, period 8 seconds, energy 251. It’s surfable but pretty ordinary. The afternoon is a cross-shore, so again, morning is the move.
Now, the big one. Monday morning, September 7th. This is a monster. A 12ft swell from the NW with a very long period of 17 seconds. Combined energy is a massive 6137 – that’s strong. The wind is glassy, light from the SSE at 3 knots. This is excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers only. Anything over 8ft is for experts, and this is well over that. The long period means the waves will have serious power and shape, and at a point break, it’ll be a dream. The morning is perfect. The afternoon gets a bit onshore, so the morning is the absolute standout of the whole 16 days.
There’s also a good session on Sunday morning, September 6th, with a 6ft swell from the NNW at 14 seconds, cross-off wind from the SW at 6 knots, and energy of 1530. That’s a clean, punchy session for experienced surfers.
If you’ve got the patience, the first week of September is the payoff. The earlier days are just teasers. Cabo Lastres delivers for those who wait.
Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at Cabo Lastres can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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.
