Table - best surf conditions forecast for Miramar over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what Mother Nature has got lined up for us at Miramar.
Honestly, looking at the whole 16-day spread, it’s a bleak picture for a while. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing really worth paddling out for. The first real bit of hope doesn't show up until Wednesday morning, July 15th. Before that, it's all poor surf conditions with cross-shore and onshore winds messing things up.
So, July 15th, Wednesday morning. The wind goes glassy, which is a huge positive. You'll find clean, smooth conditions. The swell is tiny though, just 2ft from the west with a short period (6 seconds). It's surfable, but it's not going to blow your mind. This is your best bet for a stress-free session.
Now, the standout moment comes on Tuesday afternoon, July 21st. The swell jumps up to 8ft from the NW with an 8-second period. The problem is, it's predicted to be too big for this break. The wind is also cross-onshore, so it'll be choppy. This one is for experts only, and frankly, the conditions aren't going to be great. It's a lot of power, but it's messy.
For beginners, you want to look at the smaller days, but the wind is rarely your friend. The water temperature is 64°, which is about average for this time of year, so a springsuit is fine.
Basically, expect a lot of flat, unappealing surf. The glassy morning on the 15th is the only real window for a decent, clean wave, even if it's small. Mark your calendar for Tuesday the 21st if you’re a seasoned charger, but don't expect perfection.
Rusty.

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.
