The Lowdown

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.

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.
