The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here again. Between you and me, we’ve got a pretty tough stretch on the cards at Miramar. The next week and a half is full of small, bumpy, wind-shortened waves. You’ll be waiting and waiting for a proper session.
Water temp is pretty standard for the season, nothing special either way.
Right now, Wednesday’s a total washout. We’re looking at 2ft to 3ft of weak, lumpy swell with light to moderate cross-onshore winds. It’s messy and messy. Thursday’s much the same, with small surf and a chop that ruins the afternoons.
Friday morning gives us a little taste of a glassy ocean, and you might get a surfable 3ft wave, but it’s weak and short-period. By the afternoon, the wind gets on it and it’s gone.
The weekend is flat. Saturday and Sunday see the surf drop to under 2ft with onshore winds. Don’t bother.
Monday the 10th morning has another short glassy window with a 3ft NW swell, but it’s weak and not particularly clean. Same story for Wednesday the 12th morning—a bit of a bump but still pretty ordinary.
Then, the surf starts to pick up in size, but the wind turns ugly. Around the 14th and 15th, we get some 5ft to 6ft swells with the energy climbing, but it’s all coming in with strong cross-onshore winds, blowing it out and making it rough and choppy. This is more of a kitesurfing setup than a paddling one.
But then, the light at the end of the tunnel. After all that drivel, we get one proper day. Wednesday the 19th morning is clean with a light cross-offshore breeze and a solid 5ft NW swell. The energy is strong. It’s looking like the first decent day.
But the real one, the one you’ve got to make time for, is Thursday the 20th morning. It’s fully offshore, glassy, and clean. The swell is 5ft from the NW with strong energy—the best of the whole run. This is the day to pull the sickie.
So, keep the faith. The week ahead is a grind, but there’s a proper session coming up a week from Thursday. Be ready for it.
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.
