The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk about Playa de Laga in feet and miles per hour for those who think in those numbers. It’s a quiet forecast, no two ways about it. We’re staring down a long stretch of tiny, weak waves and mostly ordinary conditions for the full sixteen days.
The first time you might even bother getting the wax out is the morning of Saturday, August 8th. We’ve got waves around 2ft from the NNW, but the period is a short 6 seconds. The combined energy is a weak 41. The wind is glassy, which is a big plus for clean faces, but the forecast itself calls it “surfable but very ordinary.” For a beginner, that clean, tiny wave is a possibility. Just know crowds can sometimes be a factor.
Then we hit another big gap. The next glimmer comes on the morning of Wednesday, August 12th. Swell is tiny at about 2ft from the WNW, with a better 9-second period. The real news here is the clean conditions from a light cross-offshore breeze out of the east. Energy is still very low at 49 (weak). It’s not a classic session, but it’s the cleanest look of the whole run.
Finally, the morning of Saturday, August 15th offers up more of the same: small waves around 2ft, glassy conditions, and weak energy of 48.
For a standout, I’m leaning towards that morning of Wednesday the 12th. The 2ft WNW swell with clean, glassy wind is the best window for a smooth, small-wave board. If you’re just starting out, the glassy 2ft on the 8th is also a fair shout. But overall, the energy is critically low for weeks. The only flicker of something bigger is late on Monday the 17th of August, with a 5ft NW swell and moderate energy hitting 281, but it’ll be ruined by a messy cross-onshore wind.
For experienced surfers, this is a long, dry run. Keep your expectations in check.

A general guide to surfing at Playa de Laga can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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 Laga 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.
