The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here again. Let’s break down the same forecast but in feet and miles per hour for you.
Don’t kid yourself, the start is flat. Friday July 31st and Saturday August 1st are a total waste of time. Swell is barely 1ft to 2ft, winds are messy, and the combined wave energy is pathetic – 53 to 66 (moderate at 71 on Saturday morning, but still poor). Sunday the 2nd and Monday the 3rd are no better, with cross-onshore breezes and weak, short-period chop. You’re better off staying home.
The one real window is Wednesday morning, August 5th. The swell is only 2ft from the west, with a short period, but the wind is dead calm. Glassy. Combined energy is just 80, so weak, but for a longboard or a foil, it’ll be as smooth as butter. Crowds are possible, but for that kind of clean, it’s worth the paddle.
Thursday the 6th is a washout with rain and onshore wind. Friday the 7th shows another glassy morning with 3ft swell, energy jumping to 184, but the period is short and the afternoon gets blown out. That Friday morning could be a fun little session if you’re quick.
Second week is more of the same. Saturday the 8th and Sunday the 9th are clean but tiny. Monday the 10th and Tuesday the 11th both have glassy starts with 3ft to 3ft west swell, energy around 92 to 118, but still weak and short. The rest of the week is clean but small, with light winds and nothing to get excited about.
Best bet: Wednesday morning, August 5th, and Friday morning, August 7th. Glassy, clean, tiny, but that’s your best shot.
Rusty.

Information about the Playa de Ladeira Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Playa de Ladeira provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Playa de Ladeira can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Playa de Ladeira 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 de Ladeira) 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 de Ladeira 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.
