The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the outlook for the next couple of weeks is a tough one to write. There’s very little to get excited about.
We’ve got one wave spot on the menu, Miramar, and it’s a beginner-friendly beach and reef setup. The water temp is sitting about average for the time of year, so nothing wild there.
The problem is, for the entire 16-day run, the conditions are just not cooperating. We’re looking at a long stretch of poor surf conditions. The first real glimmer of anything is on Wednesday morning, July 15th. There’s a tiny 1 ft swell from the WNW, with a period of 9 seconds, and it’s glassy with a light WSW wind of 3 mph. The combined energy is weak (41). It’s rideable, but very ordinary.
Thursday morning, July 16th, is similar – 1 ft, glassy, light wind (41). But that’s about it. After that, the wind turns onshore or cross-onshore, and the swell stays tiny. Friday through the following week is all “poor surf conditions” with tiny waves and messy wind. The swell does try to pick up a little around Saturday, July 25th, hitting 3 ft to 5 ft from the NW, but the wind is cross-onshore and choppy, so it’s blown out. The energy climbs to a moderate 229, but it’s wasted.
There’s a gap of several days with no real recommendation. The only half-decent window is those two mornings – Wednesday the 15th and Thursday the 16th. Even then, it’s just a small, clean wave for a beginner. For anyone else, it’s a frustrating forecast.
There are no standouts in this period. The best bet for a surf is Wednesday morning, July 15th at Miramar, with 1 ft swell from the WNW and glassy conditions. It’s not a standout, it’s just the least bad option. The rest of the time, the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing given the wind and small, messy waves.
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.
