The Lowdown
Alright, let’s be honest, the surf at Playa de la Cagonera is in a serious slump. We’re looking at a long, dry spell for the next week or so. Nothing’s breaking, and it’s just small, weak, and messy. You’re looking at no rideable waves until the morning of the 17th of August. That’s more than a week with nothing on offer.
That Monday morning finally gives us a tiny pulse. We’re talking a 3ft wave from the NNW, but with a weak 7-second period. The energy is weak at 166, and while it’s glassy and clean, it’s just too small to get excited about. It’s surfable, but very ordinary.
After that, it’s a return to nothing until Saturday the 22nd. That morning we get a small but cleaner 2ft swell from the NW with a slightly better 10-second period. The wind is glassy again, and the energy is moderate at 128. It’s still small, but with the glassy conditions, it’s the best-looking option in the whole forecast. This is the one to keep in mind.
The 24th of August, a Monday, brings the most energy we’ll see, with the swell pushing up to 4ft from the NW. The energy reads at a moderate 271, but the wind is onshore and it’s choppy. It’s got some push, but it’s going to be a mess.
So, for the pick of the litter, go for that Saturday morning the 22nd. It’s small but clean, and the water is a bit warmer than usual, at about 70°. It’s a long wait, but there’s a glimmer of hope.
