The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty here, looking at the next 16 days for our little slice of coast. Let's be straight with you – it's been a rough stretch. The start of the run is pretty bleak. We've got a solid gap of really poor conditions from Thursday through most of next week. You're looking at small, weak swells and winds that are just messy. Not worth paddling out for.
Things finally start to look up on the morning of Monday, September 7th, but even then it's only small, clean lines. The real standout, the one you want to circle on your calendar, is the morning of Monday, September 14th. That's a good week and a half away, so treat it as a promising one, but keep an eye on it. The model is showing a pulse of proper 6-ft swell from the NNW with a solid 14-second period, and glassy conditions. That's a proper groundswell, and with that period it's going to have a lot of energy (1472) behind it. It might be a bit too much raw power for a beginner, but for the experienced crew on a good board, that's the morning to be at Playa de la Cagonera. The wave direction is a solid NNW, which is a great match for what this place likes, and the morning is dead calm. That will be clean and lined up.
The Tuesday morning after that, on the 15th, has got a smaller 5-ft swell with similar period and glassy conditions, making it another good option for the week after. Before that, the Saturday morning of the 5th sees a jump in size to 4-ft and a 14-second period, but the cross-onshore wind is going to chop it up. The energy is high (722) but the quality won't be there for a paddle surfer. For the rest of the time, the late afternoons are mostly a no-go with poor conditions. There are a couple of clean, glassy mornings around the 8th and 9th, but the swell is just too small to get excited about. The water temp feels pretty much average for this time of year.
So to wrap it up: the first week is a write-off. The second week has a couple of solid shots, with that Monday the 14th morning being the best of the best. Get excited for that one, but don't hold your breath on anything else.

A general guide to surfing at Playa de la Cagonera can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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 la Cagonera 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. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
