Milagro del Mar Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Milagro del Mar Point.

We’re looking at a solid run of south-west groundswell coming through, but honestly, it’s a bit of a mixed bag for the first week or so. The standout period is definitely the second weekend and beyond, so hold tight.

The water temperature is sitting at a warm 85°, which is about 1° above average for this time of year – nothing crazy, just a touch warmer than usual, so you’ll be fine in boardshorts.

Friday, August 14 kicks things off with clean 3ft swell from the south-west, with a long 19-second period. The wind is offshore from the ENE at 16 mph, so it’ll be clean. But the energy is only moderate (758), and the forecast calls it marginal, so it’s a bit of a tease. Friday afternoon fades a touch and goes cross-offshore, still 3ft but the energy bumps up a notch (841). Not the best start.

Saturday, August 15 is the pick of the first week. Morning brings a 4ft south-west swell with a 16-second period and a fresh 19 mph offshore from the NE. The energy is nice and strong (1101), and conditions are clean. This is the best you’ll see in the first few days – a proper window of good, rippable waves. The afternoon is a little windier and cross-off, so get on it early.

Sunday, August 16 drops back to 4ft, still solid south-west groundswell with 15-second intervals. Morning offshore winds from the NE at 16 mph keep it moderate offshore and clean, but the energy is more moderate (611). Afternoon holds up okay with a fresh offshore.

Monday, August 17 through Wednesday, August 20 sees the swell easing gradually. You’ll get 3ft to 2ft waves, mostly clean, but the energy is dropping into the 200-500 range. The real stand-out moment in this lull is Tuesday afternoon, August 18 – the wind goes glassy from the WSW, dead calm, and you’ve got 2ft of south-west swell with a 15-second period. It’s small, but if you’ve got a log, that’s a glassy, perfect little session.

Thursday, August 20 afternoon is also glassy with 2ft from the south-west. Lovely for the longboarders.

Friday, August 21 is a bit of a write-off. The swell drops to 3ft but with a short 10-second period and the wind is fresh and cross-off by the afternoon, dropping the energy to 198. That’s just weak.

Saturday, August 22 and Sunday, August 23 are poor – the swell is small and the wind is messy. Not worth paddling out.

Now, here’s where it gets good again. Monday, August 24 morning: 2ft south-west swell with a long 18-second period, moderate offshore ENE wind at 16 mph, and energy is back up to 509. The forecast says “very good surf conditions” – that’s a genuine standout for the cleaner, smaller wave fans.

Tuesday, August 25 is okay in the morning, but the afternoon gets a strong 25 mph cross-offshore breeze that ruins it.

The real gem is Friday, August 28. Morning: 3ft south-west swell, 17-second period, gentle offshore from the ENE, and energy is strong at 558. The forecast says “very good surf conditions.” Then Friday afternoon: glassy, dead calm, 3ft with an 18-second period – that’s a dream session for a point break like this. The tide will be the key, but that’s the one to circle.

Saturday, August 29 finishes the run with 4ft south-west swell, 16-second period, and clean conditions. The energy is back up to 706, and the forecast says “very good surf conditions” for the afternoon. A solid end to the outlook.

Best bets: if you’re chasing size and power, Saturday, August 15 morning is your window. For the purest conditions, Friday, August 28 is the standout – that glassy afternoon is a gift.

Remember, Milagro del Mar Point is an advanced, very consistent point break that’s exposed to the swell and loves a south-west direction. It handles groundswell well, so those long periods (15-19 seconds) are a bonus here – the waves will have shape and power, but expect longer lulls between sets.
