Alright, this is Rusty. Let's take a look at what's cookin' for Playa de Traba over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it's a tough stretch ahead for this stretch of sand. We're staring down a long, pretty bleak run with hardly any windows of decent surf. This is one of those periods where you might be better off keeping the board in the car and just going for a walk. The whole 16-day window looks like a write-off, to be honest. There are no real standouts, and that's just how it goes here sometimes.
Saturday the 4th just ain't happening. The swell is up to a messy 6ft from the northeast, but it's a short-period 7-second windswell with a cross-shore wind. The water is a bit colder than usual at 62° for this time of year.
The only flicker of hope comes early on Sunday the 5th. We get a bit of a window. The wind goes glassy, dead calm, in the morning. The swell drops to 4ft from the north-northeast. It's nothing special, just ordinary little waves, but with that glassy surface, it’ll be the best you're going to see. The combined wave energy is a modest 186, so don't expect much push.
Then that's it. Monday the 6th through to the end of July 19th is a wasteland of tiny, weak swell, bad wind directions, and cross-onshore chop. The swell barely hits 5ft on the 14th, but the wind is straight onshore or cross-shore, butchers it. The energy spikes a few times, like on the 13th and 14th, hitting 354 and 385, but it's all poor quality, wind-blown slop. This is a consistent break, but for paddle surfing, it's a total bust. If I were a kite surfer, I’d be keeping a very close eye on the later part of the window when the wind really cranks up from the northeast. For us wave-chasers, though? Better luck next time.
