The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for Playa de Seaia over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, we are in a bit of a dry spell. The first real chance to get wet doesn't come until Tuesday the 28th. We’ve got a few days of nothing good before that, so don't bother checking the cams until then.
The standout window is definitely Tuesday morning, July 28th. We’re looking at a clean 4ft swell from the NW with a solid 10-second period, pushing a moderate wave energy of 295. The real kicker is the wind: glassy, dead calm. That’s the kind of morning you set an alarm for. The water is sitting at 64°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, so you might want a thin spring suit.
Wednesday morning, the 29th, is another decent shout. The swell drops a touch to 3ft, still from the NW, with glassy conditions again. The energy is lighter at 126, so it’ll be smaller and more relaxed. Perfect for a beginner session or a longboard grovel.
Now, for the long-range promise. Keep an eye on Sunday, August 9th. The models are hinting at a big pulse of W swell coming in around 7ft to 8ft, with a long period of 11 to 12 seconds. The energy reading is massive—over 1100 for the morning. That’s a lot of water moving. However, the wind is forecast to be light cross-onshore, which could chop it up. The wave energy is there, but the quality is a question mark this far out. It’s one to watch but don't book the day off work just yet.
The rest of the outlook is pretty average. Sizes stay small, or when it does pick up, the wind is onshore or too strong. The exception is that big swell window on the 9th, but it comes with a “marginal” tag. For a beach break like this, when the swell gets over 8ft and the wind isn't perfect, it gets messy and expert-only. For now, focus on that glassy Tuesday morning.
Rusty.
