Alright, let’s break this down. It’s a tough outlook for the next couple of weeks. The first decent surf doesn’t show until Saturday July 18th, so you’re looking at a solid 13-day gap of nothing worth chasing. From July 5th through July 17th, it’s all tiny, weak swell and cross-onshore winds – just not worth the drive.
Saturday morning July 18th at Miramar finally gives us something. Swell is a tiny 2ft from the WNW, period 9 seconds, and the wind is glassy – absolutely clean conditions. Water temp is about 62°F, which is around 3°F colder than normal for this time of year – a bit cool, but nothing crazy. The combined wave energy is weak at 47, so it won’t have much push, but it’ll be rideable and smooth. Crowds are possible, but on a small day like that, probably not many takers.
Sunday July 19th the swell starts to build. Morning brings 5ft from the NW, period 6 seconds – short period so a bit of a bumpy ride – with cross-on winds from the SSW at 3 mph. Energy is moderate at 159. By the afternoon, it’s 6ft from the NW, period 7 seconds, with cross-on wind from the WSW at 9 mph, and energy jumps to 337. Still not the cleanest conditions.
The real standout is Monday July 20th, especially the afternoon. Swell hits 8ft from the NW, period 8 seconds, with onshore wind from the west at 9 mph. The combined energy is a strong 640 – that’s real power. The catch: it’s considered too big for this break. At 8ft, that’s expert-only territory at Miramar. Heavy, powerful, and not for beginners. If you’ve got the skills and the nerve, that’s your window. Otherwise, keep waiting.
So, a long quiet period, a tiny clean day on the 18th, then a big, expert-only session on the 20th. Pick your moment.

Information about the Miramar Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Miramar provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Miramar can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Miramar 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 (Miramar) 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 Miramar 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.
Miramar is 5 km (3 miles) from the city of Canidelo. If you plan a holiday in Douro and Minho, look for hotels and other accommodation in Canidelo. Canidelo has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
