Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the menu for Maspalomas over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a pretty quiet outlook. We’re looking at a long stretch of minimal swell, so don’t go expecting any hero sessions. The first few days are a write-off, with tiny, weak waves that just aren’t worth paddling out for. The combined energy sits at a measly 33 (weak) on Tuesday morning, and it doesn’t get much better through the week.
The first real glimmer of hope shows up on Saturday, July 11th. The swell bumps up a touch, and the combined energy climbs to 120 (moderate). It’s still small, around 0.3m to 0.4m (that’s 1.0ft to 1ft) from the SSW, but the wind is light and cross-off, keeping things clean. Not a standout, but a sign that the ocean is waking up.
Sunday, July 12th, is the best we’ve got. The morning session looks the pick with the swell holding at 0.4m (1ft) from the SSW, a 18-second period (that’s a long-period groundswell), and combined energy hitting 218 (moderate). The wind is a light cross-off from the NE, so it’ll be clean. Those long-period swells can make Maspalomas (a beach and reef setup) break a bit straight, but with the size this small, it’s a solid chance for a few fun ones. That’s your one to aim for.
After that, we’re back into the doldrums. From Monday, July 13th, through to the end of the forecast on Wednesday, July 22nd, it’s a long stretch of tiny, weak surf. The combined energy drops back down to two-digit numbers, often under 100. The wind is mostly offshore or cross-off, so it’ll be clean, but there’s just no push.
So, bottom line: Sunday morning, July 12th, is your best bet. The rest of the 16-day window is a flat spell, but that’s Maspalomas for you – it tends not to stay poor for long, and forecasts can change. Keep an eye on it.
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.
