The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here. Looks like we're in for a bit of a slow dance at Playa de Robayera for the next week or so, but there are a couple of moments that'll get the blood pumping. The water's sitting at 72°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you can leave the thick rubber at home.
The first real chance comes on Thursday morning, the 27th of August. We've got a clean, glassy start with a 4ft swell out of the NW, period around 8 seconds, and the wind is light and cross-offshore. The combined energy is moderate at 201, and conditions are set to be clean. It's surfable, but it's not the main event.
Now, the standout for the whole run is Friday morning, the 28th of August. This is a big one—a 10ft NW swell, with a 12-second period, and the wind is light and cross-offshore, keeping it clean. The energy is massive at 2496, but here's the honest truth: this is a river break, and that much swell is going to be too big for this spot. It's likely only for the most experienced crew, and even then, it'll be a challenge. If you're not an expert, sit this one out.
Saturday morning, the 29th of August, is another good call. The swell drops to a more manageable 6ft, still out of the NW, period 10 seconds, and the wind is dead calm, making for glassy conditions. The energy is 681, which is moderate, and the forecast says expect very good surf. This is the best of the week for the intermediate surfer—clean, solid, and no crowds if you're early.
Sunday morning, the 30th of August, is a solid follow-up with 5ft NW swell, glassy conditions, and a light breeze. Energy is 353, and it's clean. Good for a relaxed session.
After that, things drop off into small, weak wind swell for most of the next week. There's a gap from Monday the 31st through to Thursday the 3rd of September, with the odd knee-high wave and onshore winds—nothing worth paddling for. Then on Friday the 4th and into the weekend, it's still small, but Saturday morning the 5th of September offers a 4ft NW swell with light cross-offshore wind and clean conditions. Energy is 200, and it's a decent option if you're desperate.
Sunday the 6th of September picks up again with a 6ft NW swell, but the wind is moderate and cross-shore, making it choppy and marginal. By Monday the 7th, the swell is 8ft with a 12-second period, but the wind is onshore and messy, so it's a no-go for clean waves.
All in all, the best surf is Saturday morning the 29th of August. That's your session. The early Friday the 28th is for the brave, but Saturday is the sweet spot.
Rusty.
