Las Urracas Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s cooking at Las Urracas over the next couple of weeks.

We’ve got a solid run of surf ahead, but it’s not all plain sailing. The water is sitting at 65°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you might not need the thickest rubber.

The first few days are the real standout. Tuesday the 1st kicks things off with a clean 5ft SW swell, period around 12 seconds, and glassy conditions. The combined energy is a solid moderate 639 (moderate wave energy). That’s a proper session right there. Morning is glassy with a light westerly, and the afternoon turns dead calm, with a smaller 3ft SW swell, but still glassy. This is the pick of the fortnight for sure.

Wednesday the 2nd keeps the fun rolling. Morning glass again, with a 2ft SW groundswell, but that period jumps to 18 seconds, giving it a lot of push (combined energy 607 - moderate). You’ll get long lulls between sets, but the waves will have shape. The afternoon stays glassy with a 4ft SW swell.

Thursday the 3rd is a bit of a mixed bag. The morning is an unknown with a slight offshore wind, but the afternoon is pure glass again with a 3ft SW swell and a 17-second period (combined energy 710 - moderate). That’s a long period groundswell, so it’ll wrap in nicely at this reef, but expect some waiting between sets.

Friday the 4th afternoon looks like a winner with glassy conditions and a 5ft SW, 15-second swell. The energy is climbing to 965 (moderate), so there’s some grunt. The mornings over the weekend are a bit more questionable with some onshore wind, but the afternoons can still clean up.

After that, from the 7th through the 10th, things get a little messy. We’ve got cross-onshore winds and some poor surf quality, with combined energy dropping. The 8th shows a brief window of clean conditions on Tuesday afternoon, with a 3ft SW swell, but it’s nothing to write home about.

The second week is pretty quiet. From the 11th to the 13th, it’s mostly poor surf with cross-onshore winds and weak energy. The combined energy drops to around 299 to 171 (weak). Not worth paddling out.

Then, a late glimmer. Monday the 14th afternoon brings a return of glassy conditions and a 4ft SSW swell with a 16-second period. The combined energy jumps back to 731 (moderate). That’s a promising little window, but it’s a long way out, so keep an eye on it. Tuesday the 15th also has glassy mornings and afternoons with 3ft SSW swell, but by the 16th, it’s mostly back to poor conditions.

So, to wrap it up: your best bet is the first two days of September, with Tuesday the 1st and Wednesday the 2nd being the absolute standouts for clean, glassy waves. The 14th and 15th looks like a possible secondary run, but it’s further out and less certain.

Rusty.
