Luz Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Right then, let’s talk about what’s on offer around here. To be honest, it’s a pretty quiet stretch ahead. We’ve got a solid gap of days with nothing worth paddling out for, so don’t be in a rush. The first real chance to get wet doesn’t roll around until the morning of Saturday the 12th, and even then it’s nothing to write home about.

So, Saturday the 12th, early doors. Luz is showing a little bump of 4ft swell out of the SE, with a short period of 7 seconds. The combined energy is weak (122), so it’s not exactly thumping. The wind is a light cross-offshore from the NNE, which keeps things tidy. It’s surfable, but only just. The water is sitting at 68°, which is a bit colder than usual for this time of year, so you’ll want a decent wetsuit.

Sunday the 13th is the standout in this whole run, but it comes with a caveat. The morning sees a jump in swell to 6ft from the ESE, period still short at 8 seconds, and the combined energy is moderate (690). That’s a fair bit of push, but it’s a beach break setup and the wind is a light cross-shore from the ENE. It’s going to be a bit messy, honestly – the guidance calls it marginal. The surf quality is nothing special, and the wind isn’t helping. This is more of a "maybe have a look" situation than a cracking session. For experienced surfers, there’s something there, but beginners will find 6ft a bit much.

After that, it’s back to minimal or poor conditions for a long stretch. Most days are flat or tiny, with a lot of onshore wind. There’s a little blip on the morning of Tuesday the 15th with glassy conditions and a tiny 2ft swell, but it’s barely a ripple.

The next whiff of something bigger doesn’t show up until Wednesday the 23rd, over a week away. The morning brings 6ft from the ESE with a period of 8 seconds, and combined energy of 653. But the wind is a gentle cross-onshore from the E, making it choppy. That’s a long way out and the wind looks poor, so it’s not one to bank on.

The very last chance in the window is Thursday the 24th, morning. Glassy conditions, 4ft of SE swell with a 7-second period, and weak energy (119). Surfable, but ordinary.

Honestly, if you’re keen, the Sunday the 13th morning is your best bet, but don’t expect perfection. The rest of the time you’ll be watching the horizon.

Rusty.
