Las Urracas Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on offer for the next couple of weeks at Las Urracas.

We're kicking off with a bit of a slow start, but don't let that fool you. This spot is a very consistent reef break, so it usually doesn't stay quiet for long. The first few days from Thursday the 23rd to Saturday the 25th are pretty marginal. We've got some waist-to-chest high swell from the SW, but the wind is messy—cross-onshore and choppy, so it's not really worth paddling out for. The water's sitting at 65.1°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.

The real action starts to build on Monday the 27th. The afternoon shapes up nicely with a clean 3.3ft SW groundswell, period around 16 seconds, and glassy conditions. That's a long period swell, which is going to wrap beautifully into this reef. The combined energy is moderate (804), and it's setting up for some really nice, clean waves.

Now, you want the standout? That's going to be Tuesday the 28th of July. By the afternoon, the swell bumps up to 6.2ft from the SW, with a solid 14-second period and glassy conditions. The energy jumps to strong (1549), and the wind is dead calm. This is excellent surf for experienced surfers—anything over 5ft is getting a bit much for beginners, and this is a proper session. The wind is off the land, so expect those waves to be groomed and lined up. This is the best on offer, no question.

Wednesday the 29th and Thursday the 30th continue the run of good news. Both afternoons are glassy with 5.2ft and 3.9ft SW swells respectively. The energy is solid, and the conditions are clean. Friday the 31st drops off sharply with poor surf and cross-on winds, so give that a miss.

The first week of August sees a bit of a lull. Saturday the 1st has some lumpy 5.6ft swell but it's cross-onshore, and Sunday the 2nd is similar but smaller. The next real window opens up on Monday the 3rd of August with a glassy morning and a small 3.0ft swell, but it's a bit weak. Tuesday the 4th of August afternoon is worth noting: a 3.6ft SW groundswell with a 14-second period, glassy, and the energy is moderate (661). Very clean.

Wednesday the 5th of August afternoon brings another solid pulse: 5.2ft from the SW, glassy, with a 12-second period and strong energy (800). That's a very good session. The following days, the 6th and 7th, continue to offer glassy afternoons with consistent SW swell in the 4.3ft range, so the second week is looking promising for clean, lined-up reef waves.

Overall, the 28th of July is the clear winner. Get on it.
