Las Urracas Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s get into the outlook for Las Urracas.

The next 16 days have a bit of a slow burn, but there’s real potential if you time it right. The water’s sitting at about 64°F right now, which is normal for the time of year, nothing unusual.

We start on Thursday the 9th, but it’s a bit of a washout. The swell is there at 4ft, coming from the SW with a very long period of 16 seconds, but that cross-on wind from the SW is just messing it up. The combined energy is moderate (668), but the surface is choppy and the tide is questionable. Not worth dragging the board out.

Friday the 10th is where things start to look up. The morning is still off with an onshore breeze, but the afternoon turns glassy. The swell drops a bit in period to 13 seconds, still 4ft from the SW, but the wind goes completely calm. The combined energy is solid (659) and the water goes glassy. That’s a clean session for the intermediate crew.

Saturday the 11th is a similar story. The morning has that onshore wind again, but the afternoon is an absolute stunner. Zero wind, glassy conditions, and a 4ft SW swell with a 14-second period. Combined energy is up to 740. That’s the kind of afternoon where you’re just trading waves with a buddy, no bumps. This is a standout.

Sunday the 12th drops off in size, down to 3ft in the morning, but it’s glassy with a 13-second period, so it’s clean if you’re on a longboard. The afternoon picks up a little cross-on wind, so morning is the call.

Through the middle of the week, Monday the 13th and Tuesday the 14th have some nice glassy windows, especially the Tuesday afternoon with a 3ft WSW swell, 15-second period, and zero wind. Combined energy hits 698. That’s a ripping little session.

Wednesday the 15th afternoon is another glassy gem: 4ft SW swell, 14-second period, calm wind, and the combined energy is strong at 847. That’s one of the best windows in the whole run.

After that, the swell holds around 3ft to 5ft through the next week, but the wind gets a bit more mixed. Thursday the 16th has cross-on wind, but Friday the 17th goes glassy again with 3ft SW swell, good for a clean fun session.

The real standout in the whole run is the afternoon of Saturday the 11th of July. That glassy, calm wind, 4ft SSW swell at 14 seconds, combined energy of 740 – it’s clean, it’s consistent, and it’s just about perfect for an intermediate surfer. Not too big, not too small. Get on it.

The last few days into the 24th have some smaller but clean options, especially the Friday the 24th morning with a 4ft SSW swell, 8-second period, and glassy wind. The period is short, so it’ll be a bit weaker, but it’s clean.

Overall, Las Urracas is a very consistent reef break, and it’s got plenty of windows. The crowds are *sometimes* an issue, but with the wind being tricky at the start, you’ll have it quiet on those glassy afternoons. The swell direction is perfect for this spot, which loves a SW to SSW.

Biggest wave of the run hits around Monday the 20th with 6ft, but the cross-on wind and choppy conditions make it more of a challenge. That one’s for the experts only.

Rusty.
