The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – we're looking at a pretty quiet run for Playa de Traba over the next couple of weeks. There’s no real surf to get excited about for the next few days, starting with Saturday the 25th. The water is sitting at 62°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, so you'll want a decent wetsuit.
The first chance of anything rideable comes around Monday the 27th afternoon, with a NNW swell pushing about 5ft. The combined energy is moderate though, at 636, and it’s coming from the north-northwest with a 10-second period. That's a short-interval windswell, not a groundswell, so it’ll be a bit lumpy. The wind is cross-shore from the NE at 12 mph, kicking up a cross-chop. Honestly, it’s looking marginal at best. That size, with those winds, is more of a messy affair than anything clean.
Tuesday the 28th morning might offer a slight window. The swell drops to 4ft from the NW with a 10-second period, but the wind shifts light SW, still cross-shore. The energy is a moderate 299. Again, it’s marginal, but with a light breeze, it might be the least worst option if you're desperate for a paddle. The better-looking window in the next week is on Sunday, the 2nd of August. We get a 5ft swell from the NW, with a 10-second period, and the wind is light and from the WSW, so it's cross-shore but small ripples. The combined energy jumps to a moderate-to-strong 579. It’s still only rated marginal, but that’s the best we’ve got. The swell is getting a little sizey; at 5ft it's still manageable for most intermediates, but the short period means it won't have much push.
Further out, around Thursday the 6th of August, we see a spike in swell to 7ft from the NE. That’s getting into expert-only territory for a beach break like Playa de Traba, especially with a short period of 7 seconds. The wind is a moderate cross-shore from the NE at 12-15 mph, so it’ll be choppy and lumpy. The energy is strong at 616, but everything else is working against it.
For the rest of the time after that, it's pretty much the same story: small, short-period swell and onshore or cross-shore winds.
So, what's the standout? Honestly, there isn't one. It's a quiet, drawn-out period. For a place that’s usually consistent, this run is a bit of a dud. If I had to pick a time to check it out, it would be the morning of Sunday, August 2nd. A light wind and a bit of size from the NW makes it the only thing close to a window in the whole outlook. Don't expect much.
Rusty.
