The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s coming up for Playa Bruja over the next couple weeks.
We’ve got a short run of decent swell to start, from Sunday through Wednesday, then the surf just drops off a cliff into a long flat spell that lasts over a week. If you’ve got a board, you wanna be in the water early on.
The true standout is Monday July 27th. Swell hits 6 ft from the SSW with a very long 17-second period. The combined energy reading is strong at 1653, and the wind is blowing straight offshore from the SW all morning—clean, lined up, quality surf. The afternoon pushes 6 ft from the same direction with a 16-second period and even more juice. For a spot that’s beginner-friendly, those are solid, but the offshore wind will make them rideable and fun. Sunday the 26th is also a good one with 4 ft to 4 ft of SW swell, super long 18-second period, and offshore winds too—just not as much power as Monday. Tuesday the 28th holds around 5 ft of SW swell and still 17-second period, so the run is solid.
Water temperature is running 32°C or about 89°F, which is a good 2°C (roughly 4°F) warmer than usual for late July. That’s pretty unusual, so you’ll definitely notice the bathwater feel.
After Wednesday the 30th, the swell drops quick. Heights fall below 4 ft, energy dips under 900, and winds start turning cross-onshore, putting a chop on things. From Thursday July 31st through the first week of August, we’re looking at waves under 3 ft, weak short-period swell, and energy readings mostly below 400. There’s a tiny bump around Friday August 7th with energy coming back to around 382-602 and 18-second period, but heights are only 2 ft to 3 ft with onshore wind—barely worth a paddle. No real standouts there.
So here’s the plan: hit it Sunday through Wednesday. Monday July 27th is the best of the lot. After that, the ocean pretty much takes a nap.
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.

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.
