Surf Forecasts:
The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you: the outlook for the next 16 days is a flat spell.
We've got a full run of zeros across the board for Port Stanley (Falkland Islands). The 'combined energy of all swells directed here' is reading 0 for the entire forecast period. That means there’s no swell to speak of. From Saturday the 15th of August right through to Sunday the 30th of August, every single session is flagged as "poor surf conditions." We're talking about a solid two-week gap with absolutely nothing to recommend.
The water temp is sitting at 74°F which is pretty normal for this time of year, so that’s not the issue. The problem is a total lack of any wave energy. Even on the days where the wind goes glassy (like Wednesday the 19th afternoon and Wednesday the 26th afternoon), there’s no swell to clean up.
This is a tough one for the Falklands. It doesn't often stay this dead for this long, but when it does, the only thing to do is wait for the next system. Forecasts can and do change, but right now, there’s nothing to paddle out for.
Keep the wax dry, lads.
Rusty.

Information about the Port Stanley Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Port Stanley provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Port Stanley can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Port Stanley surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Port Stanley) 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 Port Stanley 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.
