Right folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's happening at Playa de Traba. It's a long-range look, so strap in.
Right off the bat, the first week and a half is a bit of a non-event. We've got tiny, weak swells and cross-onshore winds messing things up. The water’s sitting at 62°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, so you’ll want a decent wetsuit.
The real interest kicks off on Monday the 13th of July. There's a lift in the surf, with chest-high waves showing up. The big news that morning is the glassy conditions – flat calm, perfect for a paddle out. The energy is still modest, but that clean face makes it worthwhile for a beginner-friendly session.
Tuesday the 14th looks good too, with another glassy morning and similar 3ft swell. It's the same story – small but clean.
Now, let's talk about the standout. The 20th of July, Monday morning. We’ve got a 4ft swell from the NNW, and the wind is dead calm, glassy as a lake. The combined energy is moderate. This is the pick of the whole period. For a spot like this, that is an excellent chance for some clean, fun waves. The only catch is that with conditions that good, you can expect the crowds to show up – it's a spot that does get busy.
After that, the 21st of July Tuesday morning sees a jump in size, with 6ft swell from the NNW and a period stretching out to 11 seconds. That’s some proper groundswell energy... but the wind swings cross-shore, making it messy. The combined energy shoots up, showing there's plenty of power, but the quality is poor. The morning of the 20th is your golden window.
So, to sum it up: the first week is pretty much a write-off. The second week offers a couple of glassy mornings, but the real standout is Monday the 20th of July. Get on it.
Rusty.
