Alright, grab your board, but maybe leave the wax in the car for a bit. This is Rusty, and I’m looking at the next couple of weeks at Playa de Seaia. The truth is, we’ve got a long stretch of pretty ordinary conditions ahead. The first surfable waves don’t really show up until Thursday, July 10th, and even then, they’re nothing to write home about.
The water’s sitting at 17°, which is a bit colder than we’re used to for this time of year, so a steamer might be a good call.
The first real chance for a paddle is Friday morning, July 10th. It’s tiny, with swell coming in at 3 ft from the WNW, and the period is short at 9 seconds. The energy is weak, barely hitting 113 (moderate wave energy). But the real story here is the wind – it’s glassy. That’s a major positive for a beginner-friendly break. If you’re learning or just want to get wet with clean, small waves, this is your window. The consistency is fairly consistent, so you’ll get a few.
Saturday morning, July 11th, is a washout. The wind is onshore from the NNE and the surf is poor. Don’t bother.
There’s a slight glimmer on Sunday morning, July 12th. The swell is still 3 ft from the WNW, but we get offshore winds from the SSW. It’s clean, but the wave energy is still only moderate at 132. Nothing special, just a poor surf situation that’s at least surfable.
Monday morning, July 13th is glassy again, with a tiny bump in swell to 3 ft from the NNE. The period is a short 8 seconds, so the waves will be weak and a bit crumbly. Still, glassy conditions are rare, so for a beginner, it’s workable.
After that, it’s a dirge. From Tuesday afternoon, July 14th, right through to July 24th, we see a consistent pattern of onshore winds and poor surf conditions. The swell does build – by Wednesday, July 22nd, we see 5 ft from the NNW, and by Friday, July 24th, it’s pumping 8 ft from the NNE. But the wind is howling onshore at 15–22 mph. The combined swell energy reaches 493 (strong wave energy), but with that onshore wind, it’s going to be a messy, choppy, blown-out mess. That size is too big for beginners anyway. Honestly, that setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
Forget the rest of the week. The one standout is Friday morning, July 10th – clean and glassy, perfect for a beginner. So if that’s you, you’ve got one window. Otherwise, we wait until the wind swings around again.
Rusty.

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. If you surf the same spot (Playa de Seaia) 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 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. 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.
