Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s cast an eye over the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, the outlook for Playa de Traba is a bit of a write-off for a solid stretch. For the first week and a half, we’re looking at small, weak, and generally messy conditions. The swell stays small, mostly under 3ft, and the energy is on the low side, bouncing around between 43 and 219 in the brackets. The wind is mostly cross or cross-onshore, which keeps things choppy. There’s a patch from around the 7th of July right through to the 15th of July where every session is flagged as poor surf conditions. It’s one of those quiet runs where you’re better off doing something else.
However, there is one genuine glimmer. On the morning of Wednesday, the 15th of July, we get a brief moment of clarity. That morning it’s glassy with a slight air, the wave state is glassy, and you’ve got a tiny 2ft swell from the N. It’s not going to blow your mind in size, but it’s surfable, and "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions" is the best we get. The water is sitting at 62°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, about 2° off the average.
Looking further to the 20th of July, Monday morning has a clean, cross-off wind from the SSW at 16 mph, but the swell is tiny at just 2 ft and the energy is a feeble 38. It’s clean but barely a ripple. Wednesday the 22nd of July sees another glassy moment early, but it’s the same story—tiny swell.
If you’re a kite surfer, the consistent cross and cross-onshore breezes during the stronger wind days might be more your thing. For a paddle surfer, it's a lean period. The only true standout is that glassy Wednesday morning on the 15th of July—it’s your best bet for the cleanest, most user-friendly wave, even if it’s small. Beginners should be fine with that size. Crowds are possible at Playa de Traba, so you might not be alone.
Stay patient, the forecasts can always change.
Rusty.
