G’day, Rusty here. Lookin’ at the 16-day window for Las Monjas, and I gotta be straight with ya – it’s a tough stretch. The forecast is pretty much all “poor surf conditions” across the board, with no standout sessions to get excited about. The wind is persistent from the north and north-northeast, keeping things cross-onshore or choppy for most of the run. The first week is particularly grim, with tiny windswell and weak energy. There’s a bump in size around the 12th of July, with a 4ft to 4ft groundswell from the NNW and period around 10 seconds, giving a combined energy of 385 (moderate), but the cross-onshore wind (12 mph) kills the quality. Things actually get bigger from the 16th of July onward, with swell heights pushing 7ft to 8ft and combined energy climbing into the 500–750 range (moderate to strong), but the wind stays messy – mostly cross-onshore, and on the 18th of July morning it goes offshore (NNW 12 mph) for a brief window, but the wave comment still says “poor surf conditions.” This swell is from the NNE with a period of 7–8 seconds, which is short-period windswell, so it won’t be that well-shaped. By the 21st of July, the swell drops back to 5ft–5ft, and the wind eases a bit, but still cross-onshore. For a beginner reef break that’s very consistent, this is a frustrating run. The water temp is about average for the time of year, no major anomaly. Honestly, there’s no single day I’d be racing to get in the water. If you’re desperate, the 18th of July morning has a brief offshore and 7ft swell, but it’s a gamble. Overall, the surf looks more interesting for a kite session than a paddle session through most of this period. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a blank run.
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. If you surf the same spot (Las Monjas) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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.
