The Lowdown
Alright, mate, Rusty here. Let’s break it down.
The next 16 days at Las Monjas are pretty grim. It’s a long stretch of wind-affected, grovelly conditions. The wind is a constant cross-onshore, and the swell is short-period, wind-driven stuff from the NNE. The water temp is 73°F, which is about normal for this time of year, so you’ll be comfortable in a spring suit, but the surf is a mess.
From Sunday the 2nd all the way to Monday the 17th, every session is rated poor. Swell heights range from 4ft to 7ft, but the period is short – 6 to 8 seconds – so there’s no real power. The combined wave energy is moderate, ranging from 123 to 564, but it’s all wind-swell, no groundswell. The wind is always cross-onshore, from 10 to 30 km/h, keeping the surface choppy and lumpy.
The only slight bump in energy happens around Thursday the 13th, when the swell hits 7ft with a period of 7-8 seconds, and the combined energy climbs to 521-564. But the wind is still cross-onshore, and the wave quality is poor. This is a reef break that’s very consistent, but with the wind on it, it’s not going to be clean. For a beginner-friendly spot, those 7ft waves might be a bit much, and the messy conditions make it unappealing.
If you’re looking for a slightly better shot, Saturday the 8th has the period stretching to 9 seconds on the afternoon, with combined energy of 478. But again, cross-onshore wind and poor surf.
For paddle surfing, this is a total dud. With the constant cross-onshore winds and short-period, messy swell, it might be better for kite surfing than for a traditional surfer. I’d call this one a miss. Keep an eye on the forecasts, but right now, there’s nothing doing.
Rusty.

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 Las Monjas 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.
