The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let's break down Playa de Traba. It's a consistent spot that faces the NW, and a good wave for anyone getting started.
The first real highlight hits Monday morning, September 7th. We're looking at a clean 6ft swell rolling in from the WNW with a 12-second period. That's a groundswell packing a punch, with combined energy sitting at (1075). The magic here is the wind: it's glassy. Completely flat. For a beach break, you can't ask for better. Water temp is about 65°, which is spot on for the season.
Monday afternoon will still be rideable with 6ft and a good offshore breeze from the NNW, but nothing beats that morning glass.
The rest of the week, from Tuesday the 8th onward, gets messy. Choppy cross-shore winds ruin the face. Swell sticks around, but quality takes a dive.
There's another window on Monday, September 14th. Another glassy morning, with 4ft from the NW. Not huge, but clean as a whistle. Perfect for a longboard or a fun cruise.
The standout without a doubt is that Monday morning, September 7th. The 6ft groundswell from the WNW with glassy wind is the best the forecast has to offer. You might see a few other surfers, but it’s well worth it.
