The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at the upcoming surf for Las Monjas.
It’s a bit of a tough stretch ahead. The opening of the forecast window on Monday the 14th gave us a glimpse of something good, but then the wheels sort of fell off for a long run. Right now, the swell is trying to get its act together, but most of this 16-day period is locked into a persistent cross-onshore flow that’s making a mess of things.
The best chance to get wet is actually first thing on Monday morning, September 14th. That’s your standout window. The wind is glassy – a real gem – with a clean 4ft swell pushing in from the NNE. The combined energy of all swells is moderate (287). This is the one time you can expect good surf conditions with clean faces. It’s a beginner-friendly reef break that’s very consistent, but with this being the only real wave in town, expect crowds to be a problem.
After that, it gets grim. From Monday afternoon right through until the 22nd of September, the wind turns cross-onshore or worse. The swell sticks around for a bit, building to a chunky 6ft on Friday the 18th (moderate to strong combined energy hitting 775), but with 16 mph winds tearing across it, those conditions are blown out. Kite surfers would have a field day, but for paddling, it’s a no-go.
We then hit a patch of marginal surf and then basically nothing until the very end of the outlook. There’s a long gap with no recommendations as the waves drop to nothing and the wind stays messy. Around the 28th of September, we see a glimmer of hope in the long-range forecast – a 5ft swell from the NNW with 12-second period pushing the combined energy back up to 578. The wind looks like it might go cross-shore, making it at least surfable, but it’s too far out to get excited about.
Bottom line: if you didn’t get out on Monday morning, you might be waiting a while. The rest of this stretch looks like one to watch from the sand.
Rusty.

Information about the Las Monjas Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Las Monjas provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. 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.
