The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s look at what’s shaping up for Playa Bruja.
The first part of this 16-day run is a bit slow to fire, but there’s a few chances if you pick your moments. Early on the swell is small and the wind’s a bit awkward, but it builds mid-week and then there’s one really nice morning.
Monday the 31st of August has 1.0m of SW swell at 13 seconds, not much going on. The water’s at 32°, way warmer than usual for this time of year.
Tuesday the 1st and Wednesday the 2nd of September are marginal. Wednesday morning pushes up to 1.4m with a 12-second period and 744 combined energy, but the wind is cross-onshore. Wednesday afternoon hits 1.8m—still onshore and messy.
Thursday the 3rd of September is a bright spot: 1.0m SW swell with a long 18-second period, combined energy of 1,169, and almost glassy with offshore wind in the morning. That’s a nice little window for a beginner-friendly wave at a fairly consistent break. Long period means longer waits between sets but cleaner waves. The break is exposed to SW and that’s the direction it’s coming from. Crowds can pop up sometimes.
Friday the 4th is 1.3m with a 16-second period, but the afternoon wind gets cross-onshore, so go for the morning.
The standout is Saturday morning, the 5th of September. You’ve got 1.3m from the SW with a 16-second period and the wind is glass. Combined energy is 1,178—solid. The water is still warm. This is the best of the bunch: clean, long-period SW groundswell, glassy conditions, and excellent for experienced surfers.
After that, the swell fades. Sunday the 6th is smaller (1.1m) and choppier. From Monday the 7th onward, things drop off, with most days under 1.0m. There’s a clean little moment on Monday afternoon the 7th with 0.9m SW and offshore ENE wind at 10 km/h—decent conditions. But from the 8th through the 15th, it’s tiny, mostly between 0.4m and 0.8m. Monday morning the 14th has a very long 18-second period but only 0.4m—clean but barely ridable.
If you want the best, lock in that Saturday morning the 5th of September. It’s the cleanest and most energetic option by far.
Rusty.

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