The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here. Look, I've got to be straight with you—this forecast for the next 16 days is a tough one. We're looking at a long stretch of flat, weak, or messy conditions, and honestly, there's not a single standout session in the whole run. It's one of those rare periods where the ocean just isn't cooperating.
The water's sitting at 70°F, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, so at least the paddle won't be a shock.
Starting from Sunday, the 2nd of August, right through to Saturday, the 16th of August, it's a complete write-off. Every morning and afternoon from Sunday through to the 16th is rated as poor surf, with wave heights barely reaching 3 ft and combined swell energy stuck in the weak range, mostly under 100 (34 to 97). The wind is a mix of glassy, cross, and onshore, but the swell is just too small and weak to make anything worthwhile. Even the few glassy moments, like Sunday morning and Wednesday afternoon, are wasted on tiny, poor waves.
The only glimmer comes on Sunday, the 16th of August, in the morning. Playa de Lastres (a river break) will see a 3 ft swell from the NW with a period of 9 seconds, and combined energy at 101 (moderate). The wind is glassy, which is a big positive for clean conditions. It's described as "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions," which is code for just barely rideable. At this size, it's a longboard or funboard wave, not much power behind it. The break is sheltered and fairly consistent, but crowds are sometimes an issue, so you might have company.
After that, Monday the 17th of August shows a little more energy—4 ft to 4 ft swell from the NW with combined energy jumping to 253 and 331 (strong). But the wind is cross-on or onshore, making it choppy and messy. The period is 10 to 11 seconds, so there's some groundswell character, but the wind ruins it. It's still rated as poor.
So, the best of a bad bunch is that Sunday morning, 16th of August, at Playa de Lastres. It's small, it's ordinary, but it's the only window where the conditions line up for a paddle. The rest of the month is a write-off. Sometimes the coast just shuts down. Forecasts can change, but right now, I'd be looking at other plans.
Rusty.
