The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get this straight right off the bat. The next 16 days are a real mixed bag for Miramar, and honestly, there’s a whole lot of waiting around to be done. The first few days are a total write-off, with tiny windswell and poor conditions. We’re looking at a big gap of nothing until we finally get a few windows of opportunity.
The first real chance to paddle out comes on Saturday morning, July 25th. The swell bumps up to a modest 4 ft out of the west, and the wind is glassy, coming light from the WSW. That’s the best you’ll see for a while. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there. The combined energy is moderate at 172, so there’s some push behind it, but it’s short-period stuff at 7 seconds, so don’t expect any real grunt. It’s surfable, but very ordinary. It’s a beginner-friendly spot, so that’s a plus, but the quality is just okay.
The next standout is Monday morning, July 27th. Again, glassy conditions with a light NNW breeze, and a 4 ft swell from the northwest. The period is a bit longer at 8 seconds, and the energy has climbed to 202, which is a solid moderate energy. The forecast says "expect good surf conditions," which is the best we get in this whole outlook. The wind is clean, and the swell is a step up in consistency. The only downside is that by afternoon, the wind will switch and ruin it, so you’ve got a narrow window.
After that, the surf drops off again fast. Wednesday morning, July 29th, is small and cross-shore, and by Thursday the 30th, it’s back to tiny, clean ankle-biters. There’s a bit of a bump on Monday, August 3rd, with a 4 ft WNW swell, but the wind is howling from the north at 12 mph, making it a cross-shore mess. Don’t bother.
The last real look is Tuesday morning, August 4th. The swell is 4 ft from the northwest, and the wind is a clean, light cross-offshore from the NNE. That’s a rare treat. The waves will be clean, but the period is a poor 6 seconds, so it’ll be a bit of a chop. The energy is moderate at 165, but it’s just “surfable waves, very ordinary conditions.” For a spot that’s only “fairly consistent,” this is about as good as it gets.
So, to sum it up: your best bet is Monday morning, July 27th at Miramar. Glassy winds, a decent 4 ft swell, and the best conditions of the entire forecast. Get on it early, because it doesn’t last. The rest of the time, you’ll be watching the ocean do nothing much.

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.
