The Lowdown
Alright, folks, let’s break this down in feet and degrees Fahrenheit.
Same deal here at Playa de Robayera – it’s a river mouth setup, exposed to the NW, and we’re looking at some quiet times. The water’s sitting at about 72°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.
From Thursday, August 13th through to around Saturday, August 22nd, it’s a tough stretch. We’re talking wave heights from about 1 to 4 feet, with periods mostly between 6 and 9 seconds. No real punch. Combined swell energy is weak to moderate (numbers like 41 to 146). The wind is mostly cross or onshore, keeping things messy. There are a couple of glassy mornings, like Monday the 17th and Tuesday the 18th, but with waves only around 2 feet and no energy behind them, it’s not worth suiting up for.
You’ll be waiting a long time. Saturday afternoon the 23rd sees a bump to about 5 feet from the NW, energy at 208, but the period is still short at 7 seconds, and the cross-shore wind won’t give us that clean face.
Then comes the real highlight. Monday morning, August 24th. We’ve got waves pushing 8 feet from the NW, a 10-second period, and a strong energy reading of 1033. The wind is a gentle cross-shore. That’s got some serious grunt, but it’s big – this is for experts only. Beginners, stay on the sand. The afternoon gets a bit wind-chopped, so the morning window is the one.
Tuesday the 25th morning is another solid option. You’re looking at about 4 feet from the NW, 8-second period, energy at 300, and best of all – glassy conditions. That’s clean, fun, and much more accessible for intermediates.
Things fade after that. Friday morning the 28th has a small, clean wave – 3 feet, glassy, energy at 164 – but it’s just average.
So, bottom line: the first week is a total blank. Your best bets are Monday morning the 24th for the big-wave crew, and Tuesday morning the 25th for a clean, fun session. The rest is just watching the tide come in.

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.
