The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Playa de Lastres over the next couple weeks. Gotta be honest with ya, it’s a slow start, but there’s a glimmer of hope if you’re patient.
Right now, the water’s a touch warmer than normal at 72°, which is a nice little bonus. The first real whiff of anything worthwhile doesn’t show up until the morning of Thursday, 27th August. We’ve got a modest 3.9ft NW swell rolling in, with a period of 9 seconds, and the combined energy sits at a moderate 237. The wind is light and cross-off from the SW, which will keep things clean. It’s surfable, but it’s pretty ordinary – not the kind of day you’d cancel plans for.
The real standout, the one that’s got my heart beating a little faster, is Monday morning, 7th September. That’s a full week away, so keep an eye on it, but the bones are good. We’re looking at a solid 9.8ft NW swell, with a 9-second period, and the combined energy is a strong 1266. The wind is glassy, dead calm from the SE. That’s a recipe for some proper, clean waves. Monday afternoon holds up too, with 8.2ft NW swell and clean, cross-off winds. This is the one to aim for if you’ve got the patience.
Before that, the morning of Saturday, 29th August, is worth a mention. It’s not the biggest, with 5.9ft from the NW and a 10-second period, but the energy is a solid 597 and the wind is glassy from the SE. Clean conditions on a 5.9ft swell are a nice little treat. The afternoon gets crossed up, so hit the early session.
The period from late August to early September is mostly flat or junk. The morning of Friday, 28th August, has a 5.9ft NW swell and clean wind, but it’s marginal, with a score that suggests questionable conditions. The rest of the window is a write-off – small, weak, and messy. Playa de Lastres is a river mouth, and it’s pretty sheltered, so it doesn’t grab much energy. When the swell is over 4.9ft, like on the 7th, it’s gonna be pushing into expert territory, so if you’re a beginner, that Monday might be a bit too much.
Bottom line: The first week is a definite struggle. The second week, specifically the 7th of September, is the only real standout. It’s a long-range call, so it’s promising but not locked in. If you can wait, it might be worth the dry spell.
Stay patient, and keep your eyes on that Monday morning.
