Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Alright, Rusty here. Let's take a look at what we've got for Luz over the next couple of weeks.
To be honest, it's a pretty bleak run for this point break. We're looking at a long stretch of poor surf conditions for the entire forecast period. The only sliver of potential is a tiny window late on Saturday afternoon, the 4th of July. That afternoon we might see some surfable waves in the 4ft range from the SE with a period of 7 seconds, but the conditions will be very ordinary. The combined energy is weak (103), so don't expect much push. Still, with the wind going glassy, you could get a few half-decent ones if you're desperate for a paddle.
For the rest of the outlook, it's almost all no-go. The Thursday and Friday (2nd & 3rd) have small, weak swell and poor, choppy cross-onshore winds. By Saturday the 4th, the morning bumps up a bit but it's still messy. After that brief window on Saturday afternoon, the wave heights drop right off into a full-blown flat spell. From Sunday the 5th all the way through to Friday the 17th of July, we're looking at tiny to non-existent surf combined with mostly cross-offshore or offshore winds that are too strong or too light to matter. There's almost no energy in the water for paddle surfing. Honestly, with the stronger winds and that swell direction, a kite surfer might have more fun than we will. There's simply nothing else worth recommending. Stick to the flat spell and keep an eye on the horizon for the next pulse.
Rusty.

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.
