The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s going on at Playa de Santa Marina.

Honestly, the next couple of weeks are a tough watch. The swell is tiny for the first ten days or so, mostly around 0.7ft to 1ft, and the wind is constantly cross-onshore or onshore. There’s just no push to the waves – the combined swell energy barely gets into double digits most days, sitting around 18 to 40, which is weak stuff. You’re looking at a long dry spell from now until late in the second week. It’s the kind of stretch where you’re better off on a longboard, or just going for a swim.

There is a bit of hope, but you’ll need patience. Towards the very end of the outlook, around the morning of Saturday the 22nd of August, things perk up. The swell bumps to about 4ft from the north, with a period of 8 seconds. Now that’s not a classic long period groundswell, but the combined energy jumps up to 182, which is a moderate punch. The wind is light and glassy out of the ENE. That will put some clean, rideable lines through the beach, point, and rivermouth setup. It’s the best on offer by a long shot, though don’t expect perfection – the period is a bit short for the region’s optimum.

If you can get out that Saturday morning, that’s your window. The rest of the second week stays small and messy, with wind and weather getting in the way again. This stretch is mostly for the diehards.

The water is running a touch warmer than normal for the time of year, coming in at about 71°F, which feels nice on the skin.

Stay patient, friends. The ocean will come back.

Information about the Playa de Santa Marina Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Playa de Santa Marina 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 Santa Marina can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Playa de Santa Marina 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 Santa Marina) 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 Santa Marina 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.
