Table - best surf conditions forecast for Playa de Traba over the next 16 days.
G’day, I’m Rusty, and I’ve been staring at the charts for Playa de Traba for a while now. Truth is, most of the next two and a half weeks are a write-off for decent waves. The first recommendation doesn’t pop up until the morning of Friday, 24 July, so that’s a solid gap of over a week where the surf is just not worth paddling out for. The wind is consistently messy, the swell is weak, and the scoring reflects that – it’s a long stretch of poor conditions.
The first real chance you’ve got is on Friday morning, 24 July at Playa de Traba. The swell is from the NW at 2ft with a long period of 14 seconds – that’s proper groundswell energy, but it’s small. The combined energy is moderate (166). The wind is glassy, and that’s a major positive. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual. Still, it’s only surfable, not great, and the crowd is sometimes an issue here. This is a beginner-level break, and the size is fine for learners.
Then on Saturday morning, 25 July, things look a little better. The swell picks up to 3ft from the WNW, period 10 seconds, with a combined energy of 222 (moderate). The wind is glassy again, which will give you clean conditions. This is the standout of the whole outlook – the only session I’d really get excited about. It’s not big, but it’s clean and the swell direction (WNW) is perfectly aligned with the optimum from the NW. For a beach break like Playa de Traba, the long-period groundswell earlier might break a bit straight, but the 10-second period here is more user-friendly. The crowd is sometimes there, so expect company.
After that, it fades back into junk. The later days in the second week have more size but the wind is cross-shore and fresh, and the swell is short-period and messy. Not worth it.
The only true standouts are the glassy mornings of Friday 24th and Saturday 25th. Make the most of that window.
