The Lowdown
Alright, grab your board. The swell energy is looking pretty weak to start, and the whole 16-day window is a bit of a waiting game. The water is a balmy 77°F, which is a massive 8°F warmer than usual for this time of year – a real treat.
The first real swell of note doesn't show up until Friday the 24th. Before that, from now through Thursday the 23rd, it's a write-off. We're looking at tiny, short-period windswell with poor conditions for paddling in. There's a couple of glassy mornings, like Thursday the 16th, but the swell is only 2ft with a 5-second period – barely a ripple. The combined energy is in the weak teens and twenties (18, 16, 23), and the wave comment is consistently "poor surf conditions." It's a long stretch of flatness.
The first real glimmer comes on the morning of Friday the 24th at Playa de Laga. A new groundswell from the NW kicks in at 2ft with a 13-second period. The combined energy jumps to 284 – moderate strength. The wind is a light cross-onshore, so it will be a bit lumpy but rideable. This is the first real chance to get wet.
The standout swell arrives on Saturday the 25th. The NW swell builds to 7ft in the morning and 7ft in the afternoon, with a 10-second period. The combined energy rockets up to 916, then 1406 – that's a very strong pulse. This is a serious amount of water for a beginner; it's strictly for experienced surfers. The wind is a gentle cross-onshore, so it's going to be a bit bumpy, but there's a lot of power. If you're skilled, this is the biggest, most energetic window of the forecast.
Following that, Sunday the 26th through Monday the 27th sees the swell drop back to the 4ft to 6ft range, but with moderate cross-onshore winds making it choppy and messy.
The most promising clean conditions actually come on Tuesday the 28th afternoon. The swell is a solid 4ft from the NW, with a 9-second period, and the wind is glassy. The combined energy is 266 – moderate. The wave comment finally reads "expect good surf conditions." This is your best bet for clean, fun waves without the massive size of the Saturday.
To wrap it up, the standout is Saturday the 25th for sheer power and size (7ft - 7ft NW, expert only), but the best quality surf for the average surfer will be Tuesday the 28th afternoon with clean, glassy conditions and a solid 4ft NW swell.
