Las Urracas Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Las Urracas. The next few days are a bit of a mixed bag, but there’s some real promise if you’re willing to wait for it.

We’re kicking off the week with a solid pulse of swell, but the wind is a bit of a tease. Monday and Tuesday (July 6th and 7th) have some decent 5ft to 5ft SW groundswell with a very long 16-second period, giving the waves plenty of shape and energy. The combined energy is strong, sitting around 1403 and 978, but the wind is a cross-onshore breeze, making it a bit choppy. It’s not terrible, but it’s not the cleanest picture. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so nothing to complain about there.

The first real standout is Wednesday, July 8th. The swell drops to a more manageable 3ft, but the wind goes glassy. The morning is clean and the afternoon is even better with that glassy surface. The wave energy is moderate (459-517), but the quality of the surf will be excellent. This is your window for a super clean, fun session on the reef.

Thursday, July 9th looks a bit dicey in the morning with an offshore wind, but the afternoon goes glassy again with a nice 4ft SW swell. That’s another good call. We then have a few days where the wind kicks up again, making things a bit bumpy, so Friday and Saturday (July 10th and 11th) are better for the patient surfer, though Friday afternoon does glass off again.

The second week sees a similar pattern: smaller swells, with some glassy windows. Wednesday, July 15th afternoon and Thursday, July 16th morning have some clean, glassy conditions on smaller 4ft to 3ft waves. Nothing huge, but super clean.

But here’s the one to really circle on your calendar. Tuesday, July 21st. The forecast shows a significant 10ft SW groundswell hitting with a very long 16-second period, and the combined energy rockets up to 4949. That’s a serious amount of juice. The wind is forecast to be glassy, calm, and absolutely perfect. This is going to be a world-class day at Las Urracas. It’s a powerful swell, so it’s strictly for experienced surfers only. This is the standout of the entire 16-day window. The waves will be long, powerful, and with that offshore wind, the barrels will be on. Crowds are likely here, so get in early.

A quick note on the gap: there’s no surf to speak of until the very start of this forecast, so we’re straight into it.

Rusty.
