Playa de San Lorenzo Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Playa de San Lorenzo over the next couple of weeks.

It’s a pretty patchy run ahead. There’s one standout morning that really shines, and then a fair bit of ordinary to poor conditions in between. The water temp is sitting at 68°, which is about average for this time of year – nothing unusual there.

The best of the lot lands on Tuesday morning, 1st September. That’s when you want to be in the water. Playa de San Lorenzo is seeing a solid NW swell coming in at 5 ft, with a period of 9 seconds, giving it moderate energy (403). The wind is glassy from the ENE at just 3 mph, so it’ll be clean as a whistle. Expect good surf conditions – that’s your pick of the whole window.

That afternoon the wind swings NE at 9 mph, turning cross-onshore and choppy, so the quality drops right off.

Wednesday morning, 2nd September, is glassy again with 3 ft NW swell and light ENE wind, but the size drops and the energy is weak (86). It’s surfable but very ordinary. The afternoon goes cross-onshore and small.

From Thursday 3rd through to Saturday 5th, it’s a mix of cross-shore and cross-onshore winds, small waves mostly under 3 ft, and poor conditions. Saturday afternoon sees a jump in energy to 519 with a 4 ft NNW swell and a period of 12 seconds, but the cross-onshore wind ruins it – poor surf.

Sunday morning, 6th September, brings some hope: 4 ft NNW swell, period 11 seconds, moderate energy (482), and glassy WSW wind. That’s another decent session – expect good surf conditions. The afternoon goes cross-onshore and marginal.

Monday 7th and Tuesday 8th mornings are glassy but small – 2 ft and 4 ft respectively – surfable but nothing to get excited about.

Wednesday 9th and Thursday 10th have some size – up to 5 ft NW swell on Wednesday and 5 ft NNW on Thursday – but the wind is either cross or offshore, and the conditions are only marginal or good at best. Thursday morning (10th) is glassy with 5 ft NNW swell and moderate energy (420) – that’s the other standout session.

After that, from Friday 11th right through to Wednesday 16th, it’s mostly poor or very ordinary. Small swells, cross-onshore winds, choppy, and little to recommend. There’s a brief glassy moment on Sunday morning, 13th, but with only 3 ft and weak energy (171), it’s just surfable.

The standout sessions are Tuesday morning, 1st September, and Thursday morning, 10th September. Both have clean glassy conditions and a decent 5 ft swell. Get on it.

Rusty.
