The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about the surf at Playa de Robayera, a river mouth setup that’s exposed to the NW swell window. The water is sitting at 72°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you’ll feel that little extra warmth on your skin.
Honestly, the next 16 days are a pretty bleak run for any real quality surf. There’s a long gap with nothing worth paddling out for. The first week is mostly tiny, weak, and chopped up by onshore or cross-shore winds. You’ll see a few mornings with glassy conditions, but the swell is so small – around 2ft to 2ft and short period – that it’s barely bumping. The combined energy is weak, sitting in the double digits (18 to 78), so you’re looking at tiny, weak waves that won’t offer much.
The best chance you’ll get is around Wednesday the 19th of August, when a bit more size shows up. The morning sees a 4ft swell from the NNW, with a period of 10 seconds, and a light cross-shore wind from the NE. The combined energy jumps to 471 (moderate), so there’s some push. It’s still marginal – the report calls it “questionable tide conditions” – but if you pick your moment, there might be a few fun ones. The break is fairly consistent, but it can get crowded often, so expect company.
The afternoon of the 19th gets bigger, with 6ft from the NNW, but that comes with a moderate cross-onshore wind from the NE, making it choppy and messy. That’s kite-surfing territory, not clean paddle surfing.
The Thursday morning of the 20th of August has a similar 6ft NNW swell, but again the wind is cross-shore, not ideal. The energy is strong (540), but the quality is poor.
Honestly, there’s no standout session here. The best of a bad bunch is the morning of the 19th, but set your expectations low. It’s a spot that rarely delivers, and this run looks like one of those times. Forecasts can change, but for now, I’d keep the board in the car and wait for a better day.
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.

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.
