The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. Rusty here.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – the first ten days or so are a real struggle. We’re looking at a long, flat spell with barely a ripple. From August 27th all the way through September 5th, it’s pretty much a write-off. Tiny, weak swell with almost no energy, and most of the time the wind is just messing it up. You’ll see a few glassy moments on the morning of the 28th, and again on the morning of the 5th, but with waves only about 0.3ft to 1ft, there’s nothing to ride.
Things start to show a pulse from September 6th. The Sunday morning (6th) at Piscinas offers the first real hope. It’s glassy, wind is dead calm, and we’ve got 3ft of swell from the NW. The combined energy is still weak at 45, so it’s ordinary, but at least it’s surfable.
The real standout, the one you’ve been waiting for, is September 9th. This is the highlight of the whole 16-day window. Wednesday morning is looking clean with a light offshore breeze from the ESE. The swell is a solid 7ft from the NW, with a period of 9 seconds – that’s decent groundswell with proper shape. The combined energy jumps right up to 753 (moderate to strong), and the forecast calls for very good surf conditions. This is a steep, powerful wave for advanced surfers only – that size will be too much for beginners.
The break picks the swell up well with a W optimum, but that NW direction should still wrap in nicely. Just be aware that this is an exposed spot and with that size, it’ll be pumping. Crowds are listed as "often" here, so expect some company.
The days around that standout are still small and ordinary. The 8th (Tuesday morning) has surfable waves with a clean offshore wind and 3ft swell from the NW, but it’s nothing special. The 10th and 11th of September see dropping swell back under 4ft, with glassy or light offshore conditions, so if you miss the main pulse, those are your fallback moments.
Water temperature on the 27th was 81°, which is 4° above normal – that’s a touch warmer than usual for this time of year.
Rusty.

Information about the Piscinas Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Piscinas provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Piscinas can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Piscinas 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 (Piscinas) 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 Piscinas 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.
