The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let's have a look at what's cookin'.
Well, it’s a quiet start, real quiet. For a good stretch, it's gonna be flat or near flat. From Wednesday the 5th right through to the middle of the month, the surf just isn't offering much. You’re lookin' at a long, drawn-out gap of days where the swell is weak and the quality is poor. We're talking about a week and a half of almost nothing to get excited about.
The first real glimmer of hope comes on Sunday, the 16th. The swell finally shows up with a bit of a pulse, around 4ft from the NW, and the wind looks to be glassy on the Sunday morning. That’s the moment to be there. Playa de Robayera will be the spot. The water is about average for the time of year. The wave energy will be moderate (332). It’s not gonna be huge, but it’ll be clean and rideable.
Then it gets interesting. The standout is definitely Tuesday morning, the 18th. That’s the day. The swell jumps up to a solid 8ft from the NW, and the forecast is for glassy conditions. That is going to be firing. The combined energy is strong (845). Now, 8ft is getting into expert territory, so this is not a day for beginners. For the rest of us, that’s a proper session.
Now, you gotta be aware, this is a river mouth setup and fairly consistent. It's exposed to the NW, which is spot on. The long-range call for the 18th is promising but less certain – we'll have to see how it tracks, but the signs are good. The afternoon gets a bit wind-affected, so get your fix in the morning.
After that, Wednesday the 19th still has some size, around 7ft, but the wind is a bit more cross-onshore, so it won't be as clean. Still plenty of energy (806), but the window of perfection closes.
So, to sum it up: don't bother until the 16th. The 18th is the day to circle on the calendar for the best chance of something special. Get it while it's glassy.
Rusty.

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