Milagro del Mar Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what we’ve got.

We're looking at a solid run of surf on the cards, but you gotta pick your moments. The standout break through the whole period is Milagro del Mar Point, an advanced, very consistent point break that's exposed to the south. The water temp is sitting at a normal 85°, nothing unusual there. There’s a bit of a slow start for the first couple of days – Sunday 23rd and Monday 24th are looking pretty ordinary with clean but weak little pulses. By the time you get into Tuesday 25th morning, you’ve got a bit of life, but the real action starts building up.

The real heart of the forecast sits around Friday 28th August morning, with a nice 3 ft SW groundswell and a long 16-second period, combined swell energy hitting moderate (648). Offshore ENE breeze keeps it clean. That’s your first real taste of quality. Then we step it up on Saturday 29th August morning, with the swell pushing 4 ft from the SW, period still at 16 seconds, and that combined energy jumping to strong (903). Offshore winds again. That’s a proper, rippable morning for the experienced crew.

Then we get a little breather through Sunday 30th and Monday 31st, still fun but smaller, before the big stuff lands. The absolute standouts for the window are around Friday 4th September morning and afternoon. The swell jumps to 6 ft from the SW, period a solid 17 seconds, and combined energy goes very strong (1930). Winds are offshore and clean. That’s a serious swell for advanced surfers only – this is what you point your van at. That size makes it too much for beginners, but for the right crew, that’s the goods. The quality holds into Saturday 5th September morning as well, still 6 ft with offshore breeze and very strong energy (1769). That stretch from Friday 4th through to Sunday 6th is the pick of the whole 16-day run.

The middle weeks fill in nicely with smaller but clean mornings, but don’t sleep on the Tuesday 1st September afternoon, which goes glassy with a light WSW breeze. It’s smaller at 3 ft, but for a glassy session, you can’t complain.

In the second week, the Saturday 5th and Sunday 6th mornings remain excellent for experienced surfers, though the swell stays over 5 ft. Crowds are likely at a spot like this given the quality, but with the size and the long-period nature of these swells, Milagro del Mar Point being a point will handle it beautifully.

Also worth noting – on the 3rd and 4th of September we’ve got some storm risks in the afternoons, so the mornings are your best bet.

Overall, there’s surf on offer right through. The first couple days are just a warm-up. The true highlight is that first week of September run. Get on it.
