Table - best surf conditions forecast for Miramar over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a tough stretch for Miramar. The whole 16-day window is a bit of a write-off for anything decent. Looking at the first proper swell recommendation, it doesn’t really kick off until the 10th of July, and even then, it’s a struggle. There’s a long gap of nothing really surfable before that.
Thursday the 9th is a no-go, with a tiny 2ft swell from the WNW and a cross-onshore wind on a 9-second period. The energy is weak (66), and the waves are just poor. Friday morning the 10th isn't much better, still 2ft and cross-onshore, with the combined energy dropping to 59. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.
The best you’re going to get is probably Saturday the 18th and Sunday the 19th. Saturday afternoon sees a 3ft swell from the WNW, with a 10-second period and a combined energy of 140 (moderate). The wind is cross-onshore, so it’s going to be a bit bumpy, but it’s the most punch we’ll see. Sunday morning the 19th is similar, with 3ft from the WNW, a 9-second period, and a light cross-onshore breeze. The energy is 138, and it’s the closest to clean you’ll get. The swell direction is straight out of the west-northwest, and the optimum swell for Miramar is from the west, so it’s not a perfect match, but it’s the best of a bad bunch.
Other than that, it’s a lot of small, weak, choppy days. The waves are too small to get excited about, and the wind is never really offshore. For a beginner, it’s not too big, but the quality just isn’t there. This spot is fairly consistent, so it’s a bit of a surprise to see such a dry run, but sometimes that’s just how it goes. The forecast confidence is decent for the near-term, and it’s still looking poor. For the second week, the swell sticks around the 2ft to 3ft mark, but the wind stays messy, and the periods are short, so the shape will be poor.
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.
