The Lowdown
Alright folks, let’s get into the only show in town for this forecast: Playa de Tranqueru.
We’re looking at a pretty quiet start here. The first few days just aren’t worth paddling out for. Thursday the 13th through Saturday the 16th, the waves are small and the wind is messy. You’ll see a few small swell pulses, but the wind keeps it choppy. It’s not until Sunday the 16th morning that we get a little glimmer of hope. The swell bumps up to 4ft from the NNW, it’s glassy, and the water is a touch warmer than usual at 70°. Still, the wave energy is moderate (237) and the period is short at 7 seconds, so it’s not going to be a classic.
The real standout comes in the second week. Monday the 25th morning is looking like the best session on offer. We’ve got a solid 7ft swell from the WNW, with a clean offshore cross-off breeze from the WSW. The wave energy is strong (628), and it’s glassy. That’s a proper morning of surf. The size is getting up there, so it’s more for the intermediate crew. The morning of Friday the 28th is also looking tasty: 4ft from the NW with light offshore WSW wind and clean conditions. Wave energy is moderate (473), and the period is a solid 10 seconds, giving it some real push.
For the rest of the period, there are a few surfable windows, like Thursday the 27th morning with glassy conditions and 4ft from the NW, but nothing beats the 25th and 28th. The late August mornings are where the magic is at.
Rusty out.

Information about the Playa de Tranqueru Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Playa de Tranqueru provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Playa de Tranqueru can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.
