Playa Santa Teresa Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here, lookin' at our own little slice of paradise for the next couple of weeks. It's a bit of a mixed bag, but there are some absolute gems to be had if you time it right.

We're starting off with a bit of a slow build, but from this Saturday, the 15th, we get a taste of what's to come. The real standout right now is that Saturday morning, the 15th. Playa Santa Teresa is looking prime. We've got a solid 5ft of clean, long-period SW groundswell – that's 16 seconds between waves – pouring in. The combined energy is humming at a solid 1004, and with the wind glassy off the NE, it's going to be clean, lined-up, and making for some powerful walls. This is for the experienced crew though, that's a proper swell that will be reeling down the beach. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so a spring suit will do you fine.

Saturday afternoon takes a turn with a risk of thunderstorms and cross-onshore wind, so that morning session is the one to nail. Sunday looks a bit messy too with that cross-onshore wind. We get another window Monday morning, the 17th. It's a touch smaller at 4ft, but again with offshore NE wind and clean conditions on that long-period SW swell, it'll be a fun, user-friendly wave. The energy is a bit lower at 428, but still plenty to play with.

The mid-week sees the swell dip but the quality holds. Wednesday the 19th morning is a sneaky good one: 3ft of SW swell, but with clean conditions and a nice cross-offshore breeze. The wave energy is moderate at 514, making for some tidy, shapey waves that won't be too demanding. If you're looking for a less intense session, this is your call.

Now, from around the 21st we hit a bit of a flat spell. The swell pretty much disappears for a few days, with only tiny, weak waves on offer. The energy drops right down. But don't give up hope.

Looking further ahead, the end of the month is where the real promise lies. The morning of Friday the 28th has a new pulse of SW swell. It's 3ft but look at that energy – 857 – and it's dead clean with light offshore wind. That indicates some serious long-period groundswell again. This one is a real heads-up. And then Saturday the 29th morning looks even better, pushing to 3ft with the same clean offshore conditions and a combined energy of 720. Finally, the real treat might just be Sunday morning, the 30th. 3ft of SSW swell, glassy conditions, and energy at 885. That is the kind of session you wait for – absolutely pristine. Keep an eye on that long-range forecast, because those are the days that will light up.

Remember, the crowds at Santa Teresa can be *sometimes* busy, especially when it's this good, so get out there early. For the bigger days over 5ft, the beach breaks might look a bit more appealing for the kite crew if the wind swings around right.

Stay stoked,
Rusty
