Table - best surf conditions forecast for Playa de Somo over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Playa de Somo over the next couple of weeks.
To be honest, it’s a pretty flat and quiet outlook. The first week is mostly a write-off. From Thursday the 9th right through to Wednesday the 15th, the wave heights are tiny, mostly between 0.7ft and 2ft, with a combined swell energy that barely gets above 67 (67). That’s weak, and the wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, which means the surf is messy and poor. Nothing worth getting wet for, really.
We get a little nudge on Saturday the 11th for the morning session. The swell is still small at 2ft from the NW with a period of 11 seconds, but the wind is cross-offshore from the ENE at 9 mph, which cleans things right up. The combined energy lifts to 94 (94) – still moderate at best – but those conditions will make the small waves look a lot better than anything else around. It’s a rare clean window, but it’s only for the morning, and the afternoon gets cross-shore chop again. If you’re keen, grab that Saturday morning.
After that, the surf drops off again. From Sunday the 12th right through to Friday the 24th, the swell stays tiny and the wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, with combined energy figures mostly in the teens or twenties. There’s a little uptick on the 21st with 3ft from the NNW, but the period is a short 6 seconds and the wind is onshore, so it’s just lumpy, poor surf. The blank run through the second week is long and pretty much featureless.
Bottom line: Saturday morning, July 11th, is the one standout. It’s small, but it’s clean. The rest of the 16 days, you’re better off doing something else.
