Las Urracas Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s shaping up for Las Urracas over the next couple of weeks.

First off, the water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 65°F, so you’ll be a little more comfortable in a shorty than you might expect. That’s a nice bonus.

Right now, we’re in a bit of a flat spell. The first real chance of a surf doesn’t kick in until Sunday afternoon, the 6th of September. That’s a few days of waiting, but honestly, it’s worth holding out for. The standout window is from Sunday afternoon through to Monday. We’ve got a clean 3ft to 3ft SW groundswell rolling in with a very long period of 16 to 19 seconds. That’s proper energy for a reef break like this, and the wind is going glassy or very light offshore. The combined swell energy is moderate, sitting around 669 to 707 (moderate energy). It’s not a big wave, but the quality and shape will be there.

After that stretch, the surf gets a bit more inconsistent and smaller, but there are still a few good moments. Tuesday afternoon the 8th and Saturday afternoon the 12th both offer glassy conditions with waist-high SW swell. Nothing huge, but clean. The 12th has a shorter period, around 8 seconds, so it’ll be a bit more crumbly, but still fun on a log.

The best call for the second week is around Tuesday the 15th of September. We’ve got glassy offshore winds in the morning and afternoon, with a consistent 3ft SW swell at a solid 13 to 14 seconds. The energy is still moderate (413 to 420), and it’s a reliable, clean wave day. Crowds can be an issue here sometimes, but on a Tuesday, you might dodge the worst of it.

A real standout for the whole period is Sunday the 6th through Monday the 7th. That’s the pick of the forecast. The long period, clean conditions, and that consistent reef setup will give you the best rides. For the more experienced surfers, the 5ft SW swell on Friday afternoon the 4th is there, but the wind is onshore and the tide or conditions are questionable, so it’s not really worth paddling out for.

Later in the forecast, around Thursday the 17th and Friday the 18th, we get another glassy window with 3ft to 4ft SSW swell, but the period is short, around 8 seconds. It’ll be a fun little wave, but not the same quality as the earlier groundswell.

Overall, be patient. The first few days are a write-off, but from Sunday the 6th, there are some really clean, high-quality sessions on offer. Keep an eye on the long-range stuff for the 15th, but remember, forecasts can change. For now, the first week is the clear winner.

Rusty.
