Club del la Playa Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a proper look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, things are pretty grim. We’ve got a stretch of poor surf that just won’t let up. It’s not until Sunday the 5th that we finally get a sniff of something worth paddling out for. That’s a solid few days of waiting.

### The Early Window

So, your first real chance to get wet is Sunday the 5th. The morning is the absolute standout here. It’s glassy, dead calm, with clean little 4ft waves rolling in from the ESE with a 10-second period. The combined energy is moderate at 259. It won’t be huge, but that glassy surface will make it look a million times better. The afternoon gets a bit of a light cross-on breeze, so definitely go for the early session if you can.

The next real highlight doesn’t come until Monday the 13th. That morning we’ll see a pulse of 5ft swell from the SSW, period around 8 seconds. It’s pushing a solid 451 energy through the water. The wind is a clean cross-offshore from the WNW, so the surface will be tidy. This is a step up in size and push, still good for intermediates.

Then, hold onto your boardies, because Tuesday the 15th is looking like the best of the whole run. The morning is clean, offshores from the NNE, with a solid 4ft swell from the SE at 13 seconds – that’s a proper groundswell. The energy is pumping at 791. This will be well-shaped with decent power. The afternoon holds up nicely too with another very good session on the cards. Crowds might be around, but for waves this good, you’ll take it.

The water temp is about 59°F, which is bang on normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.

### The Later Week

The run up to that is a bit of a mix. Saturday the 11th has some marginally surfable options with the ESE swell, but the winds are iffy. Sunday the 12th is blown out. Wednesday the 16th and Thursday the 17th see a very clean, longer-period SE swell but with smaller heights around 4ft to 4ft. The energy is strong, though, especially on the 16th with readings over 650. Would be clean, but maybe a bit slower and more suited to a point or reef than a beach break.

For the final day, Saturday the 18th, we’ve got a tiny leftover swell, but the morning is glassy again. It’s not a standout, but for a quick dip in clean conditions, you could do worse.

To sum it up: wait for the glass on Sunday the 5th, circle Monday the 13th, and absolutely be in the water on Tuesday the 15th. That’s your winner.

Rusty.
