Playa de Robayera Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming down the line for Playa de Robayera.

First thing you need to know: the water is sitting at 71°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year—almost 5°F above average. That’s a nice surprise for the first break we’re looking at.

Right now, we’re in a bit of a dry spell. The first week of July is pretty flat and disappointing. There’s no real surf on offer from the 4th through the 7th. You’ll see tiny 1ft to 3ft NW swells with short periods, cross-shore winds, and weak wave energy (as low as 23). It’s not worth paddling out.

There’s a slight pickup on Monday the 6th in the morning—2ft from the NW, period 9 seconds, with a clean cross-offshore breeze. That gives surfable but very ordinary conditions, but it’s only a 1 out of 10. Not a standout.

Then we hit a long gap. From the 7th through the 10th, it’s all tiny waves and poor conditions. On Friday the 10th, there’s a brief moment of glassy conditions in the morning with 2ft from the WNW, period 10 seconds, but the energy is still low (65). Still only a 1 out of 10.

The real standout shows up on Sunday the 12th of July. Get this: the morning brings 6ft of NW swell, period 10 seconds, with glassy conditions. Wave energy jumps to 533—that’s moderate-strong energy. Expect very good surf conditions. That’s the best day in the whole outlook. For a river break like Playa de Robayera, that size is fine for intermediates, and the glassy wind means clean, peeling lines. Crowds are often here, so expect company.

Monday the 13th is the biggest of the run—7ft from the NW, period 9 seconds, but it’s onshore wind. That’s marginal, borderline too big for beginners, and the wind messes it up. Tuesday the 14th morning is glassy again with 5ft, period 8 seconds, and good energy (293). That’s a solid, clean option, but not quite as good as Sunday.

After that, the swell fades fast. By the 15th, we’re back to 3ft or less, and the rest of the second week is tiny and mostly messy. Nothing worth chasing.

So here’s the call: if you’re free, make it happen on Sunday the 12th of July—glassy, clean, 6ft NW swell at Playa de Robayera. That’s your standout. Tuesday the 14th morning is a solid backup.

Rusty out.
