Igueste de San Andres Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, mates, Rusty here. Let’s talk about the waves at Igueste de San Andres. We’ve got a stretch of surf, but honestly, it’s mostly going to be a waiting game. The first few days are nothing special, so you might want to sit on the beach for a bit.

The surf starts on Wednesday the 5th of August with a 5ft swell from the NE. The wind is offshore, so it’s clean, but the swell is weak with a short 7-second period. The energy is moderate at best at 247. You’ll get waves, but they’ll be pretty unremarkable. The water temp is average for the season, nothing out of the ordinary.

Thursday the 6th is a touch bigger, up to 6ft from the NE, still with that short period. The energy climbs to 352, and it’s still clean in the morning with an offshore breeze. It’s slightly better, but still not exciting. Mornings are definitely the time to go, as the afternoons get a bit cross-off.

Friday the 7th and Saturday the 8th are more of the same—swell between 5ft and 6ft from the NE to NNE, with the period stuck at 7-8 seconds. Offshore winds in the morning keep it clean, but the energy is moderate, and the waves just feel a bit weak and sloppy. You’ll get some, but you’ll be scratching for shape.

Sunday the 9th and Monday the 10th, the wind strengthens to a fresh offshore breeze in the afternoons. The swell drops a touch to around 5ft, and the period is still short. The energy is fading into the low 200s. It’s not great, and unless the tide is perfect, you’ll be battling for a decent ride.

The middle of the week, from the 11th to the 13th, sees the swell shrink a bit more to 5ft. The period remains short, and the energy is still weak. The wind is offshore, so the surface is glassy, but the waves lack any real punch. It’s surfable, but just barely.

Now, for the good news. Things start to look a little better around Friday the 14th. The swell builds back up to 6ft from the NNE, and while the period is still short at 7 seconds, the energy is climbing, hitting 386 in the afternoon. It’s still not amazing, but there’s more there.

Then we get to Saturday the 15th of August. This is the standout. The morning brings a solid 7ft of swell from the NE, with a period of 8 seconds. The energy really kicks up to 563, which is a solid, powerful swell. The offshore breeze is moderate, so the surf is clean and lined up. This is the day to make the most of it. It’s got size, push, and clean conditions. That’s your window.

The afternoon of the 15th and all of the 16th, the swell drops back to around 6ft, and the wind gets a bit more cross-off. Still clean, but not as good as that Saturday morning.

After that, the second week just fades away. From the 17th of August onward, the surf backs off to 4ft to 4ft, with the period stretching out to 8-9 seconds. The energy plummets to the low 200s. It’s small, weak, and not worth the trouble. The winds are light offshore, so it’s pretty, but there’s just not enough swell to get excited about.

So there you have it. There’s a lot of average, but Saturday the 15th morning is the highlight. It’s the biggest, most powerful swell of the window, with clean offshore winds. That’s your pick.

Rusty out.
