Milagro del Mar Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s talk about what’s on the cards at Milagro del Mar Point.

The overall pattern here is a slow burn – there's no real swell action to start, just small clean windows mixed in with ordinary conditions. The combined swell energy hovers mostly in the 200–400 range (moderate), so you’re not getting hammered, but you’re also not getting much push. Water temp is sitting at 85°, which is about normal for this time of year.

Monday the 17th afternoon is a write-off – cloudy, light WSW breeze onshore, combined energy at 465, but it’s just poor surf conditions. Nothing to chase.

Tuesday the 18th morning is the first real glimmer. ENE wind 16 mph blowing offshore, a solid 3 ft SW groundswell at 14 seconds, and moderate energy at 432. It’s clean, it’s moderate offshore – a good little session for the advanced crew this break is known for. Afternoon drops off though, smaller and cross-off.

Wednesday the 19th morning repeats a similar theme: 3 ft SW swell, 15-second period, offshore ENE 12 mph, clean. Not big, but lined up. Good for a paddle.

Through the rest of that week and into the weekend, the mornings keep offering that offshore ENE breeze and waist-high SW swell, but the energy dips lower – down to 201–318. Consistent but mellow. The afternoon winds switch cross-off or onshore, spoiling it.

Sunday the 23rd morning brings a standout oddity: only 2 ft SW swell, but look at that period – 20 seconds. That’s very long period groundswell. Combined energy shoots back up to 429. That’ll be a smooth, long wall at this point break, but don’t expect much height. The offshore ENE breeze keeps it clean. Monday the 24th morning and afternoon stay similar with 2 ft at 18 seconds and clean offshore NE wind – surfable but small.

Now, the real standout is Saturday the 29th of August morning. The combined swell energy surges to 1358 (strong), with a 5 ft SW groundswell at 18 seconds – that’s proper. Offshore NE breeze at 6 mph makes it clean, and the description calls it excellent for experienced surfers. This is the best on offer. Sunday the 30th morning isn’t far behind: 5 ft SW at 16 seconds, combined energy 1130, offshore ENE 12 mph – a touch windier, but still excellent for the advanced crew. Then Sunday afternoon goes glassy – 4 ft SW, zero wind, combined energy 886 – that’s a dreamy window if you can get out.

From Monday the 31st through Tuesday the 1st of September, the swell backs off to around 3–4 ft, periods shorten, energy drops to 515–697. Still clean enough for a session, but the magic is fading.

To wrap it up: if you’re advanced and want the best, circle Saturday the 29th of August morning and Sunday the 30th. The point break will be handling that long-period SW groundswell beautifully, with offshore or glassy winds. The rest of the window is small but consistent for a quiet paddle.
