Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's take a look at the local stretch of coast for the next couple of weeks. We've got Playa de Seaia to work with, and I'll be straight with you—this forecast is a bit of a tough one.
The next week and a half looks pretty grim for a decent paddle. We’re dealing with a lot of NE wind that’s blowing straight onshore, messing up what little swell there is. The water temp is sitting around 63°, which is pretty much what you’d expect for this time of year, nothing wild there.
We don’t really get any proper surf until the 6th of July, Monday morning. That’s a full three days of nothing worthwhile. On Monday, we finally see a change. The wind swings to a light W, going glassy early, and that’s when we pick up a tiny bit of WNW groundswell. It’s only 1ft with a period of 10 seconds, giving us a combined swell energy of (74). It’s small, but that glassy morning makes it clean enough to get a few grovelly ones on a longboard. The afternoon stays small at 2ft, with a cross-off breeze keeping things tidy. Honestly, it’s more about just getting wet than scoring anything epic.
The next day, Tuesday the 7th, the swell dies right back down to 1ft. A bit of glass early, but there’s no power.
There’s another slight lift on the afternoon of Wednesday the 8th. Still not great, but the swell bumps up to 4ft from the NE with a short 5-second period. The combined energy is (128) but the wind is cross-off from the NW, so the waves might be a bit crumbly but rideable. The morning of the 9th is glassy again with a 2ft WNW swell, period of 9 seconds, energy at (95). It’s the same story—small, clean, but nothing to get excited about.
From the 11th onwards, it gets ugly again. The wind swings back to a strong NNE onshore, and we get a mix of weak, short-period NW and WNW swell. The combined energy climbs into the mid-100s and even hits (265) on the 14th, but with that onshore wind, it’s all just messy, choppy closeouts. Honestly, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing through most of the second week.
The absolute best window, and the only real standout, is Monday the 6th. If you’re desperate for a surf, that glassy morning with the 1ft groundswell is your best bet. It’s clean, it’s small, and it’s about it.
Stay patient, folks. Forecasts can change, but this one’s a struggle.
Rusty.

Information about the Playa de Seaia Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Playa de Seaia 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 Seaia can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Playa de Seaia 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.

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 Seaia 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.
