Luz Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what we’ve got for the next couple of weeks.

Honestly, mate, it’s a grim picture. We’re staring down a long, flat spell. There’s no real surf on the table for the first few days, and then we get into a pattern of tiny, weak pulses that won’t do much for anyone. The first real chance to even get wet comes on the 28th of July, but it’s not one to get excited about.

Luz is the only game in town, and it’s a point break that’s inconsistent. On Tuesday afternoon the 28th, we’ve got a tiny 3ft swell from the ESE, but the period is a short 6 seconds, so it’s gonna be weak and jumbled. The wind is a cross-onshore breeze at 9 mph, making it choppy. The energy is barely there, at just 52. The water is way colder than normal for this time of year, sitting at 64°F with a -6°F anomaly. Not a good look.

The rest of the 16-day window is a write-off. Wednesday the 29th morning goes glassy, but with only 1ft on tap, it’s a lake. From Thursday the 30th all the way through to the 12th of August, we see wave heights mostly below 1ft, and often a flat zero. The winds turn offshore or cross-offshore, which would be perfect if there was anything to ride, but there isn’t. There are tiny spikes of 0.3ft to 0.7ft with long periods (12 to 16 seconds) from the west and south, but the combined energy is so low (single digits) that it won't break properly here.

This is a blank run for the area. Nothing stands out. If you want to paddle, you’re better off picking up a longboard for a flat-water session or finding something else to do. The wind does blow strong and offshore on a few afternoons, so if you’re into kite surfing, it might be more interesting than paddle surfing.
