The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it for Playa de Laga.
We’ve got a bit of a quiet start with a few days of less-than-perfect conditions, but the good news is there’s a standout session on the horizon. The water is sitting at 76°, which is a good 6° warmer than what’s typical for this time of year – that’s a solid anomaly, so you’ll be comfortable in a spring suit or even just boardies if you’re tough enough.
The first real chance to get a wave is on Monday morning, July 27th. The swell is coming from the NW at 5ft with a 10-second period, but the wind is light and onshore from the north at 5 km/h. The combined energy is solid (540), but the conditions are described as marginal, with questionable tide. It’s a gamble, but the size is there. The following morning, Tuesday, July 28th, is a bit more promising. The swell drops slightly to 4ft from the NNW, but we get a clean cross-offshore breeze from the east at 15 km/h, giving it a score of 2 out of 10. The combined energy is still moderate (340). It’s not a classic, but it’s the cleanest we’ll see in the first week.
The rest of that week and into the next is a real struggle. We’ve got a long stretch of poor surf conditions from Wednesday afternoon all the way through to the weekend of August 2nd and 3rd. The swell drops right off, with heights under 3ft and short periods, and the wind is mostly cross-on or onshore. It’s a dead zone.
Now, the true standout in this 16-day window looks like Thursday, August 6th. The swell picks up again to 4ft from the NW with a 10-second period, and the combined energy climbs back to 221. The wind is a gentle cross-onshore, which isn’t perfect, but it’s the best combination of size and energy we’ll see in the second week. The following day, Friday, August 7th, looks even bigger with 5ft from the NW and energy at 334, but it’s raining and the wind is a bit more onshore. Still, if you’re desperate for a wave, the 6th and 7th are your best bet. After that, it fades out again into small, weak surf.
So, to sum it up: the pick of the fortnight is Thursday, August 6th. The waves will be around 4ft from the NW, and while the wind isn’t glassy, it’s the most consistent energy we’ll see. It’s a beginner-friendly spot, so it’s rarely too gnarly, but on an average day like this, it’ll be a fun, mellow session. The rest of the time, you’re looking at pretty flat or choppy conditions.
Rusty.
