Alright, Rusty here again, let's switch it up to feet and degrees.
Honestly, it's a lean run for the next couple of weeks. The first surf that's even worth a mention won't show until Sunday, July 5th. Before that, it's a total write-off with strong cross-shore winds and lumpy conditions, so don't even bother paddling out.
The standout window is that Sunday, July 5th. The morning is the real gem. We've got clean, glassy conditions with a tiny 4ft swell pushing in from the NNE and a period of 7 seconds. The combined wave energy is moderate (227), so it won't be a powerhouse, but the wind is dead calm. It’s a beginner-friendly break anyway, and with that kind of surface, it’s the best you’ll see all week. The water temp is 62°, which feels about normal for this time of year.
After that morning session, the quality drops off quickly. Sunday afternoon sees the size drop to 3ft, and while it's still glassy, the energy fades fast (157). The rest of the first week and all of the second week are plagued by onshore winds and small, weak swells. There's a long stretch of marginal or poor surf from Monday, July 6th right through to Thursday, July 16th. You'll see some fleeting clean moments on Wednesday morning the 8th, but the swell is tiny (3ft) and weak (84).
By Friday, July 17th the swell does start to pick up, hitting 5ft to 6ft with moderate energy (397 to 438), but the wind shifts onshore from the west, chopping up the surface. By Saturday, July 18th, the energy climbs even higher (495 to 586) with a 5-6ft WNW swell, but again, the wind is just not doing us any favors. It’s cross or cross-onshore, so it’ll be lumpy and messy. That's a real shame, because there's some grunt in the water, but for a beach break like this, that combo is more interesting for the kite crew than us paddle surfers.
The Best Bet: Sunday morning, July 5th at Playa de Traba. 4ft swell, glassy, clean as a whistle. Get in the water before the vibe fades.
