The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the menu for Playa de Tranqueru over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, the first week or so is a real struggle. We’ve got a long stretch of poor surf, with the wind all wrong and the swell just not organised. The first real glimmer of something worthwhile doesn’t show up until Monday, July 27th, and even then it’s just "surfable" with glassy conditions in the morning. That’s a solid 6 days of pretty much nothing to write home about.
For the second week, the real standout is shaping up for Thursday morning, July 30th. We’ve got a solid 6 ft swell rolling in from the NNW, and the wind is out of the WSW at only 3 mph, which is a nice cross-offshore breeze. That’s clean, the combined energy is strong (1160), and it’s the best conditions we’ll see all week. For an intermediate spot, this is the session to aim for. The swell direction is a good match for the break, and with that light wind, it’s going to be a crisp morning.
The afternoon of the 30th gets a bit trickier with onshore wind, so don’t sleep in.
The rest of the second week fades back into smaller, weaker swells and poor winds. We get a few glassy moments on the morning of August 3rd, but the swell is only 2 ft, so it’s more of a longboard cruise than a proper session.
To sum it up: the first week is a write-off, but if you’ve got patience, the morning of Thursday, July 30th is your one true highlight. Mark it down.
Rusty.

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.

If you surf the same spot (Playa de Tranqueru) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Playa de Tranqueru may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself.
