The Lowdown
Alright, it’s Rusty again. Let’s break it down for the Maspalomas region.
Right now, we’re staring down a flat spell that looks like it’ll last the whole 16 days. From Tuesday the 15th of September all the way through to the end of the month, the waves are barely a whisper. The combined energy readings are all in the low double digits or single digits (between 4 and 62), which is essentially no wave energy at all. The forecast calls for tiny 0.3ft to 0.7ft swell from the SSW, with long periods up to 16 seconds, but that just means long lulls with nothing to ride.
The break is a beach-and-reef setup, but with these conditions, you’re looking at flat, clean water and some glassy moments in the afternoons. The best you could hope for is a tiny, weak ankle-biter on Wednesday the 30th of September – a 0.3ft SSW swell with a combined energy of 4. That’s about as flat as it gets.
No standout days, no real swells, and no reason to wax the board. The water temp is about normal for this time of year, but it doesn’t matter when there’s nothing to surf. For the next two weeks, this is a total blank run. Forecasts can turn, but for now, it’s a no-go for surf.
Rusty out.

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.
