Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s look at the 16-day picture for Luz. Straight up, I’ve gotta be honest with you—it’s a tough stretch. The finder is telling me there's nothing worth paddling out for in the whole window. We’ve got a long, blank run ahead of us with no decent options on the table.
Looking at the guidance, Luz is a point break that breaks inconsistently. It needs a specific swell direction and it's just not getting it. For the first week or more, the swell is tiny—like 0.3ft and 0.7ft—with poor surf conditions flagged every single day. There’s a slight glimmer around the morning of July 19th. We see a 2.6ft swell from the west, with a moderate 12-second period, and the combined energy jumps to 196. That’s decent moderate energy for a moment, but the wind is cross-off from the WNW at 10 mph, and the surf is still rated as poor. It’s just not going to come together with the right conditions.
We are looking at a solid two weeks or more of nothing. It’s one of those periods where you’re better off checking the forecast again in a few days or looking for a different hobby. The water temp is sitting around 69.8°, which is normal for this time of year, so at least the water’s nice if you just want a swim.
Sorry, folks, there’s nothing to get excited about here. The surf just isn’t happening.

Information about the Luz Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Luz provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Luz can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Luz surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Luz) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Luz may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
Luz is 5 km (3 miles) from Lagos. If you plan a holiday in The Algarve, look for hotels and other accommodation in Lagos. Lagos has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
