The Lowdown
G’day crew, Rusty here. We’ve got a solid-looking run coming in at Playa de Laga over the next couple of weeks. Overall, the pattern kicks off quiet with only small, ordinary swell, then builds to a clear standout window with some proper glassy mornings and consistent north-west groundswell. The water temperature feels about average for the time of year, nothing wild. Keep your eyes on Saturday the 29th of August and Tuesday the 1st of September for the pick of the waves.
Right now, Wednesday morning the 26th of August sees tiny 1ft north-west swell with weak energy (41), and a light cross-off SE breeze, but it’s nothing to get excited about. By Friday the 28th of August, it starts to fire up proper. Friday morning hits with 5ft north-west swell, moderate energy (256), clean conditions under a light cross-off from the SW – that first call of good surf. Friday afternoon jumps to 7ft direct onshore NW wind, so it gets messy.
Then, Saturday the 29th of August morning – that’s the one. Glassy flat calm, 5ft north-west swell, period 9 seconds, and moderate energy (336). It’s clean, it’s mellow, and it’s actually exposed and fairly consistent here, so you’ll find waves. Sunday the 30th of August morning is real similar: glassy, 5ft north-west swell (287), clean again.
There’s a few days of muck through Monday and Tuesday afternoons with onshore wind, but then Tuesday the 1st of September morning delivers again – glassy calm, 4ft north-west swell (247). This is a real standout for the clean surf. Don’t sleep on it.
After that, the swell fades into ordinary. The real fire returns on Sunday the 6th of September morning – glassy, 4ft north-west swell (354), beautiful conditions. Then Tuesday the 8th of September morning – glassy again, 5ft north-west swell (465), proper shape and decent size, still good for intermediates. Wednesday the 9th of September morning stays glassy, 6ft north-west swell (468). It’s getting a bit bigger now, edging into expert range. And finally, Thursday the 10th of September morning sees glassy surf with 6ft north-west swell (576) and very good forecast conditions – that’s the big finish, but it’s more than a week away, so keep an eye on it.
All in all, the best bets are the glassy mornings: Saturday the 29th of August, Tuesday the 1st of September, and Sunday the 6th of September. Crowds can turn up sometimes at Playa de Laga, so get in early when it’s clean.
Rusty.

Information about the Playa de Laga Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Playa de Laga 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 Laga can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Playa de Laga 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 Laga) 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 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. 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.
