Table - best surf conditions forecast for Maspalomas over the next 16 days.
Alright, let’s break it down for you in feet and miles. The outlook for Maspalomas is honestly pretty grim. For the next many days, the surf is tiny and not worth your time.
Starting Thursday afternoon, the swell is nothing—just 0.7 ft to 1 ft from the SSW. Winds are light from the NE, cross-off, so the water’s clean, but there’s no push. Energy levels are weak, most under 100 for the first few days. By Saturday morning the 11th, the wind goes totally glassy, and the swell nudges up to 1 ft to 1 ft, with energy reaching 117 and 150 that afternoon. That’s still small—rideable but totally ordinary.
Water temp is 72°F, right about normal for this time of year.
The one standout is Saturday the 11th. Glassy conditions, no wind, and that SSW swell has a period of 14 to 19 seconds—long-period groundswell. At Maspalomas, a beach and reef spot, that could give you a few clean little lines, but only if you’re on a longboard or a log. Crowds are “often” here, so you might see a few other fools out.
From Sunday the 12th onward, the swell stays stuck around 1 ft to 1 ft, with periods dropping. Wind picks up—NNE at 10 to 20 mph, cross-off or offshore—but wave energy stays low, mostly in the 20s to 50s. By Thursday the 23rd, it’s just 0.7 ft with a short 10-second period. Nothing good.
Honestly, this is a flat spell. If you’ve got a kite, those steady cross-off winds might be fun. But for surfing? Not much to get excited about. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a waiting game.

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.
