Las Urracas Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let's get into it. The forecast for Las Urracas is looking like a solid run of swell, with a real standout window for the experienced crew.

We’re kicking off Friday the 24th of July with some glassy, 4ft swell from the SW. The water is sitting at 65°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year. The energy is moderate (454), and with those light winds, it’s a very promising start.

Moving into Saturday the 25th, the swell picks up slightly to 4ft, still from the SW, and the period extends to 11 seconds. The morning is a bit crossed up, but the afternoon cleans right off with a cross-offshore breeze and a solid energy reading (688). This is a good one.

Sunday the 26th drops off a little, with the swell down to 3ft in the morning and onshore winds making it tricky. The afternoon is smaller again at 2ft. Monday the 27th is a similar story, with onshore winds in the morning, but the afternoon glass-off with 3ft SW swell and a very high energy reading (813) is a real highlight.

Tuesday the 28th sees the swell jump up to 5ft from the SW, but the winds are cross-onshore, making it a bit messy. Wednesday the 29th is the same size, but the afternoon is a dead cert: 0 wind, glassy conditions, and 5ft of SW swell (864 energy). That’s a beautiful session.

Thursday the 30th drops back to 4ft, with a glassy afternoon that’s worth a look. Friday the 31st and Saturday the 1st of August are a bit of a lull, with smaller, weaker swell and onshore winds, although the Saturday afternoon glass-off with 3ft and 14-second period (515 energy) is a sneaky good session.

Now, for the real standout. Sunday the 2nd of August is a cracker: 5ft SW swell in the morning with glassy conditions (805 energy) and a calm, glassy afternoon with 5ft. That’s a full day of clean waves.

We have a few days of mixed conditions until Wednesday the 5th of August. This is the one the big dogs have been waiting for. The swell hits 6ft on Wednesday morning, then blows up to 7ft from the SW in the afternoon, with a period of 13 seconds and a massive energy reading of 1346. The winds are glassy. This is serious, powerful groundswell. At over 8ft, it’s experts-only territory, so if you’re not confident, sit this one out.

Thursday the 6th of August holds onto that 7ft size, but the winds are a bit more onshore and cross-onshore, so it’s less clean. Friday the 7th of August drops to 5ft, but the afternoon is a glassy gem. The run finishes with a 4ft glass-off on Saturday the 8th of August.

The best on offer is the afternoon of the 5th of August for the experienced crew, and the whole of Sunday the 2nd of August for the intermediate surfer looking for clean, consistent waves.
