The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about Las Monjas.
Right now, the surf scene is looking pretty grim for a good long stretch. We’ve got a real dry spell coming up, with nothing worth paddling out for from now until the end of the first week of September. We're talking a full gap of about 10 days where the conditions are just poor – cross-onshore winds and weak, choppy waves. You’d be better off waxing your board than trying to surf that mess. The wave energy is moderate at best during this period (around 645 down to 218), but the wind just ruins it.
The real standout, the one to circle on your calendar, is Wednesday, September 9th. This is the jewel in the crown. The morning session is absolute perfection. The wind goes glassy, zero bumps, and we’ve got a solid 8 ft groundswell running from the NNE with a period of 9 seconds. The wave energy is pumping hard (1048), making for some proper, powerful waves. Now, at 8 ft, this is for experienced surfers only – beginners will be out of their depth. The afternoon stays clean with a light cross-offshore breeze, keeping the 8 ft swell in good shape.
The morning of Tuesday, September 8th is also a decent, more accessible option. Swell drops a bit to 5 ft from the NNE, but the wind is a light cross-offshore, giving you clean waves. The energy is moderate (377), so it won't be as punchy as the 9th, but it's a solid warm-up for what's coming.
For the rest of the second week, from the 10th onwards, it’s a mixed bag. We get some clean conditions but with onshore or cross-shore breezes that mess up the face. There's some chest to head-high swell hanging around, but it’s mostly a bit of a struggle with chop. The water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year at 76°, which is a nice bonus if you do get in, but don't expect any magic apart from that one Wednesday.
If you only get one session in this whole outlook, make it that Wednesday, September 9th. That’s the one.

A general guide to surfing at Las Monjas can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Las Monjas 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 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.
