The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Playa de Laga.
Right off the bat, I gotta be honest with you – the next week and a half is a bit of a struggle. We’re looking at tiny, weak swells and messy conditions for the most part. There’s a long gap of poor surf from now until around the 10th of August, with nothing really worth paddling out for. The energy is just pathetic, with readings barely cracking triple digits. It’s a real flat spell.
Things stay pretty ordinary through the first week. A few mornings like Tuesday the 11th and Wednesday the 12th offer glassy conditions but with waves only around 2 ft. It’s surfable, but you’ll be fighting for scraps. The wind is a constant problem, mostly cross-onshore, keeping the surface choppy and uninviting. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
Now, let’s fast forward to the second week. There’s a glimmer of hope starting on Saturday the 15th of August. Saturday morning we get a bit of a bump with a 3 ft NW swell and glassy conditions. The energy is moderate (111). It’s not going to be pumping, but it’ll be clean and fun on a longboard.
The real standout, though, is looking like Thursday the 20th of August. Thursday morning brings a 3 ft NW swell with glassy conditions. The energy is a bit stronger at 146, and with offshore winds from the N, it should be clean. It’s not a big swell, but it’s the best combo of size and conditions we’ll see in this entire window. It’s a beginner-friendly spot, so expect a few people out there, but it’s the one to circle on the calendar.
Friday the 21st sees a similar 4 ft NW swell, but the wind swings to a cross-shore, making it less appealing. The following Saturday and Sunday mornings (22nd and 23rd August) return to glassy conditions, but the swell is dropping back to 2 ft, so it’s back to the small stuff.
So, to sum it up: the first week is a write-off. The second week has a few clean, small windows, with Thursday the 20th of August being the pick of the bunch. Don’t expect any barrels, just some clean, fun little waves.
Rusty, signing off.
