The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s coming up.
Right now, the surf is a bit flat. The first few days are a write-off—Thursday the 3rd and Friday the 4th are offering tiny, weak waves with poor conditions, so you’re better off doing something else. The real action starts to build over the weekend, but it’s not all good.
Saturday morning, September 5th, is the first real glimmer of hope. Playa de Laga will see a 3ft NW swell with a period of 11 seconds, which is a decent groundswell. The wind is light and cross-offshore, so the waves will be clean. The combined energy is moderate (281). It’s not a big day, but for a beginner-friendly spot, it’s a fun, manageable option. The water is sitting at 73°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
The rest of the first week is messy. Sunday and Monday get blown out by strong cross-onshore winds from the west, making the waves choppy and crumbly. There’s a pulse of energy on the 5th and 6th, but the wind kills it.
The real standout is Sunday morning, September 13th. This is the one to circle on the calendar. We’ve got a solid 6ft swell from the NNW, with a long period of 14 seconds—that’s proper groundswell energy. The combined energy is 1020, strong and powerful. The wind is glassy, and the conditions are rated excellent for experienced surfers. This is a big, clean, powerful swell. 6ft is a step up from the rest of the run, so it’s not for beginners, but if you’ve got the skills, this is the best session on offer. The long period means the waves will have shape and power, but at a beach break like this, it might get a bit straight and fast—still, with that glassy morning, it’ll be worth the paddle.
The following week has some smaller, cleaner windows. Monday morning, September 14th, has a 4ft NW swell with glassy conditions, and the combined energy is 297. It’s a nice, clean morning surf, but nothing like the 13th. Wednesday morning, September 16th, is also worth a look with a 3ft NW swell, light cross-offshore wind, and clean conditions. It’s small but fun.
Overall, the first week is slow and mostly forgettable. The 13th is the big day—just be ready for a crowd, as Playa de Laga can get busy sometimes. The rest is a pick-and-choose game of small, clean windows.
Rusty.
