Luz Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let me tell you what's happening. Rusty here, and I've got to be straight with you – the next 16 days at this region are looking flat, real flat. We're staring down a long stretch of barely a ripple on the water. For the most part, you can leave the board in the shed. The water temperature is sitting at 67°, which is about 4° colder than we'd normally see right now, so it's notably chilly for this time of year.

We kick things off from the start, and through the whole first week up until around the 10th of August, we've got next to nothing for waves. The combined energy is a measly 3 (weak), with a tiny 0.3 ft southerly swell and a 12-second period. Even with clean, offshore winds from the NNW, the surf is just too puny to bother with. That poor pattern sticks around, with days of zero swell and only the faintest pulses. Then, from the 10th up to the 14th of August, it's more of the same – almost no wave height, even when we get a little clean wind on the water.

Now, into the second week of the forecast, around Friday the 14th onwards, we start seeing some signs of life, but it's still tiny. There's a very low energy swell (3 to 12) from the south, with some longer period pulses around 18-19 seconds. But the height is still only 0.3 ft, so it's not going to break properly. It's like a whisper of a groundswell, and for a spot like Luz, a point break, that longer period could mean a clean little peel if the sandbars are kind, but it's nothing to get excited about. Winds stay mostly offshore, so if you're desperate for a paddle, you might find a knee-high wave, but honestly, it's barely worth the wax.

There are no standouts in this window at all. There's just no size on offer. This kind of dead run can happen here for sure, but forecasts can turn. For now, this stretch looks much more interesting for a kite than a surfboard. Keep an eye on it, but don't hold your breath.
