The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – the next couple of weeks at Playa de Seaia are lookin’ pretty grim, but there’s a tiny glimmer of hope if you’re patient.
We’re in a bit of a flat spell to start. The water’s a bit colder than normal for this time of year, sitting at 62°, so you’ll want a good wetsuit. The first real chance to get salty doesn’t kick in until Tuesday the 28th. Before that, it’s all onshore junk and tiny waves, so don’t even bother.
Tuesday morning the 28th is where it gets interesting. The wind goes glassy, and we’ve got a clean 4 ft swell from the NW. The energy is moderate (255), and those conditions are gonna be smooth as butter. The afternoon holds up with a light cross-offshore breeze, keeping things clean. Wednesday morning the 29th is another glassy window with 3 ft from the NW, but the energy drops off (127). These two days are your best bet for a little session, but the waves are small and ordinary – nothin’ to write home about.
After that, we get a few more days of clean-ish conditions, but the swell stays small. Friday the 31st sees a bit of offshore wind from the SW and a 3 ft swell from the WSW, and that light offshore breeze will make it tidy. Saturday the 1st of August keeps the offshore theme going, with a solid 15 mph breeze from the WSW that’ll keep the faces clean on a 4 ft swell.
The real standout, if you can handle a bit of size, is Monday the 3rd of August. The morning is glassy again, and the swell bumps up to 6 ft from the NNE. That’s about the limit for a beginner, but for the rest of us, with no wind and a clean face, it’s the pick of the whole period. The energy is moderate (254), but the size and glass make it the one to aim for.
After that, it gets messy again. A lot of onshore wind and poor conditions through the end of the second week. The 8th of August has a 6 ft swell from the W with strong energy (933), but it’s blown out by onshore winds. Too bad, because that’s a lot of water moving.
So, bottom line: Tuesday the 28th and Wednesday the 29th for small, clean waves, and Monday the 3rd of August is the main event for a bit of size. The rest is a write-off.
Rusty.
