The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break it down.

First off, I’ve gotta be straight with you—this is a rough run. We’re looking at a massive gap of nearly two weeks with nothing worth your time. From Thursday 30 July right through to Monday 11 August, it’s all flat and messy. The swell is tiny, the wind is all over the place, and the conditions are just garbage. If you’ve got a kite, maybe you’ll have fun, but for a surfboard? Not a chance.

Now, the one tiny bright spot. On Tuesday 11 August, early morning, Playa de Somo might give us a little shrug of a wave. Swell is only 3ft from the N, with a period of 6 seconds—so it’s weak, short-period stuff. The combined energy is just 80 (that’s weak, lads). But the wind is from the ENE at 15 mph, which is cross-offshore, and it’s clean. That’s the only time in the whole 16 days we get a score of 1 out of 10—so you know it’s thin. The water temp is 71°, which is about 2° warmer than normal for this time of year—nothing wild, but a little warmer than usual.

Honestly, don’t get too excited. This spot can be consistent, but right now it’s just not happening. If you’re really keen, that Tuesday morning is your best bet, but keep your expectations real low. The rest of the window is a total blank. Forecasts can change, but for now, I’d be looking for something else to do.

Rusty.

Information about the Playa de Somo Surf forecast

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