Playa Bruja Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, grab your board, let's have a look at what's on offer.

Alright, so Playa Bruja's got a bit of a mixed bag coming up over the next couple of weeks. It’s not going to be all-time, but there are some windows where it might be worth a paddle. The water temp is sitting at a very warm 90°, which is a good four or five degrees warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s a real treat, feels like a bath out there.

The real standout, the one I’d be circling on the calendar, is Monday afternoon, the 14th. We’ve got a clean little 2ft SW groundswell rolling in with a solid 18-second period behind it. That kind of period means proper energy, well-shaped waves, and longer lulls between sets. Sure, at a beach break like this that long period can make waves a bit straight, but the wind is going to be a light, cross-off breeze – that’s rare and it's going to keep the surface glassy. It’s your best chance for something clean and fun.

After that, the surf picks up a bit. Tuesday the 15th morning shows 3ft SW with a 16-second period and onshore wind, so it’ll be a bit bumpy but the energy’s there. The swell builds through to Wednesday the 16th morning with 4ft SW – that's moderate wave energy, a bit more push, but it’s onshore wind again. The afternoons get choppy with the cross-onshore breezes.

There’s a long stretch from the 17th through to the 23rd, where the mornings offer marginal conditions and the afternoons are mostly poor and choppy. The swell hangs around 2ft to 3ft from the SW, but the wind is never quite right for more than a session. It’s looking like a bit of a flat run of average conditions.

Keep an eye on the 20th (Sunday morning). We get a 3ft SW swell with a decent 19-second period and the energy is up there – that’s some good grunt – but the wind is cross-on, so it’ll be a bit bumpy. Still, that might be worth a look if you’re keen.

After that, it’s more of the same: small SW swells, periods dropping off into the 12-15 second range, and a persistent cross-on breeze. Through the last part of the outlook, from the 26th onward, the swell sticks around 2ft to 3ft, but with moderate cross-onshore winds, it’s going to be choppy and messy.

Honestly, if you can only get one session in, make it Monday afternoon the 14th. That’s the cleanest window in the whole 16 days. The rest is mostly marginal or poor.

Stay safe out there.
Rusty.
