The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s run through the same outlook, but in feet and miles for the fellas who think in inches.
Water temp is about 89°, a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
The next few days are going to be a slow grind. Swell is small, mostly 2 to 4 feet, with onshore and cross-onshore winds keeping the surface a mess. The combined energy is moderate, but the quality is rotten. From Tuesday through the end of the week, it’s just not worth paddling out. The period is long, between 11 and 16 seconds, which means some groundswell is in the water, but the wind kills it.
Thursday the 27th afternoon might have thunderstorms, so be mindful.
We get a small bump on Saturday the 29th, with 4 feet from the SW and a 16-second period. Energy hits 1041, which is strong, but the wind is still onshore and light. Still marginal.
The real window opens on Monday, the 7th of September. That morning, it’s glassy smooth. Wind is basically nothing from the SW at 3 mph. Swell is 3 feet from the SW with a 13-second period, and the combined energy is moderate at 517. This is the cleanest surf of the whole two weeks. A beginner-friendly spot, but that long period groundswell will line up nicely. Just be aware that these long-period swells can get a bit walled at a beach break, but the glassy conditions will make it look good. The gaps between sets are longer, so paddling out is a bit easier.
After that, the swell builds. Wednesday the 9th of September morning shows 4 feet from the SW with light onshore wind and energy at 1046. That afternoon, the period stretches to 16 seconds with 3 feet and energy at 1103, but the cross-onshore wind will stir it up.
So, bottom line: Monday, 7th September morning is your day. Glassy, clean, and the best surf on offer. The rest is touch-and-go.
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.
