G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ve been staring at the charts for Playa de la Cagonera and, honestly, it’s a bit of a rough stretch ahead. This is a sheltered NW spot, and we just aren’t seeing the right window of swell and clean conditions line up properly. The whole 16-day run is pretty flat and messy, so we’ve got to be patient.
The water’s sitting at a warm 69°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – about 5°F above average, so you can leave the thick wetsuit at home.
Things kick off Saturday, July 4th, but don’t get keen. There’s a tiny 2ft NW swell with a short 10-second period, and the wind is a cross-onshore from the east at 9 mph – not doing us any favours. The combined energy is weak at 117, and the surf is poor. Sunday the 5th is a write-off too; wind swings around and chops everything up. Monday the 6th morning goes glassy, which is a treat to look at, but the swell drops to a pathetic 2ft from the NE with only 5 seconds between waves and energy down to 50. It’s not worth paddling out.
We get a glimmer of hope on Sunday, July 12th. The morning turns glassy – that’s the kind of wind we love – and we see a 3ft NW groundswell with a period of 7 seconds. The energy bumps up to 151, which is moderate, and the report says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” It’s not a standout, but it’s the best we’ve got. Monday the 13th morning is also glassy with 3ft from the north, energy at 137, but again, it’s pretty average. No real power or push here.
After that, we tail off again. Thursday the 16th morning goes glassy with 2ft NW, energy down to 77. Friday the 17th morning looks clean with a light cross-offshore from the WNW, but the swell is still tiny at 2ft. The whole second week is flat, with no real juice. A few clean windows, but no swell to ride.
This is a spot that’s fairly consistent, so I wouldn’t write it off for good – forecasts can change – but right now, I’d say park the board for a fortnight and keep an eye on the sky. There’s no standout session in the next 16 days.
Rusty.

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.
