The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what Maspalomas has got cooking for us over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it's a tough stretch for surf. We're looking at a long, drawn-out period of tiny waves and not a lot of energy. The combined swell energy for the entire forecast sits mostly below 100 (weak), and the swell heights rarely get above that 1ft mark. This is one of those times where the ocean just isn't cooperating. For the first week, from Tuesday the 14th right through, we've got a pretty solid block of days where the surf is just too small and weak to get excited about. There's a bit of bump on the 14th with a 1ft SSW swell and a long 14-second period, but with a cross-off wind, it's not really cleaning up to anything rideable. The conditions are described as "poor surf" right the way through that first week, and the scores back that up. It's all just knee-high slop at best.
The second week doesn't offer much relief either. We see more of the same: tiny 0.7ft swells, mostly from the SSW, with occasional lightweight glassy conditions. The combined energy values are still in the weak category, often dipping below 30. A few morning sessions, like the 24th and 25th, will look glassy with that light wind, but there just isn't any swell to push it. The better direction for Maspalomas (a beach and reef setup exposed to the south) is from the SSW, but the size just isn't there. With the water temperature anomaly being about average for the time of year, you can't even blame a cold snap for putting you off.
So, to wrap it up plain and simple: there is no standout session, no day to mark on the calendar. The best you could hope for is a longboard and a whole lot of patience on a glassy morning when there's a 0.7ft bump, but it's a real struggle. Maspalomas is an inconsistent spot at the best of times, and this is one of those prolonged flat spells that happens. The forecasts can change, but as it sits right now, I'd be looking for something else to do.
Rusty.

Information about the Maspalomas Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Maspalomas provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Maspalomas can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Maspalomas 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 (Maspalomas) 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 Maspalomas 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.
