The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for Miramar over the next couple of weeks.
It’s a bit of a slow start, to be honest. We’re looking at a fair stretch of poor conditions right through the end of July and into the start of August, with not much to get excited about for a solid week. The first half of this outlook is a write-off for decent waves.
The real window opens up on the morning of Monday, the 3rd of August. That’s the standout. We’ve got a clean 5.6ft groundswell from the WNW, with a solid 11-second period pushing through. The combined energy is a real punch at 637 (strong), and with glassy conditions and calm winds, it’s shaping up to be a good one. This is the pick of the fortnight for anyone who can handle a bit of size – it’s getting into that expert territory. Keep in mind, that long period swell (over 11 seconds) can sometimes wrap too straight around at beach breaks, but Miramar is a beach and reef setup, so it should have a few good corners.
Following that, Tuesday morning the 4th of August will also be worth a look. You’ll find smaller, more manageable 4.6ft surf from the WNW, and again, glassy conditions. Energy drops to 382 (moderate), but it’ll be clean and more forgiving for a larger group.
The rest of the week after that drops off again with choppy, cross-onshore winds and weaker, shorter-period swell. So, the plan is simple: wait it out, circle Monday the 3rd of August, and make the most of that clean, glassy window.
Stay stoked.

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.
