Playa Langosta Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, mate, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks. We’ve only got one spot to focus on, so let’s get into it.

Playa Langosta is your only play, and it’s a real mixed bag. We start off with a bit of a slow patch, but there are a couple of windows that look proper tidy if you’re patient.

The first real chance to get wet is this Wednesday, the 15th. We’ve got a clean 2ft swell rolling in from the SSW, with a decent 13-second period. The wind is a moderate offshore from the ENE, keeping things tidy. The water is a touch warmer than normal at 86°, and the combined energy is moderate (453). It’s not massive, but it’s clean and fun. Wednesday afternoon goes glassy with a light SSW breeze and a 2ft SW swell at 16 seconds, which is proper silky. Expect some good, clean waves.

Thursday the 16th has a bit more push in the afternoon with a clean 3ft SSW swell, 13-second period, and offshore ENE winds. That’s a nice little window, offering moderate energy (374). It’s worth a look.

Things get a bit more interesting on Saturday the 18th. The morning is so-so, but Saturday afternoon the wind drops to glassy with a calm from the NNW, and we’ve got a clean 3ft SSW swell at 12 seconds. The energy is still moderate (305), and the glassy conditions will make it feel a lot better than the size suggests.

Now, if you can wait, the real standout is coming up in the second week, around Friday the 24th through to Monday the 27th. This is the one. The swell builds and gets longer in period. Friday the 24th morning shows a 3ft SW swell with a very long 24-second period and strong energy (780). That’s groundswell territory – think long, clean lines, perfect for this point break setup. The wind is a moderate cross-offshore, so it’ll be clean. Friday afternoon stays clean with a light breeze. Saturday the 25th is a stunner. Morning has a 3ft SW swell, 21-second period, and strong energy (747). Glassy conditions in the afternoon. This is the best of the run. Sunday the 26th keeps it going with 4ft SW swell, 19-second period, and very strong energy (879). Another day of glassy or near-glassy conditions.

Monday the 27th morning is the biggest, with 4ft SW swell, 17-second period, and very strong energy (1060). That’s excellent for experienced surfers, but it’s getting a bit solid for beginners. The wind is a gentle cross-offshore, so it’s clean.

Keep in mind that the very long period swells (over 15 seconds) can make beach breaks a bit wonky, but for a point break like Langosta, it’s a dream. Also, Langosta can get crowded sometimes, so get there early on those standout days if you want a clean lineup.

The last few days of the month still offer fun, clean surf in the mornings, with the wind staying favourable on Wednesday the 29th and Thursday the 30th, but the energy drops off.

So, the pick of the crop is Saturday the 25th and Sunday the 26th. Clean, glassy, consistent groundswell. Don’t sleep on it.

Rusty.
