Surf Forecasts:
The Lowdown
Alright, I gotta be straight with you—this one is a bummer. The whole 16-day outlook for Port Stanley is bone dry. From Monday the 14th of September all the way through to Tuesday the 29th, there is not a single wave worth paddling for. The guidance tells me Port Stanley (Falkland Islands) can be a consistent break when it gets the right swell, but this forecast period is a total flat spell.
Kicking off Monday the 14th: the water is way warmer than usual for this time of year, sitting at 73°F with an anomaly 4°F above normal—pretty wild, but it doesn’t matter ‘cause there’s no surf. The combined energy of any swell aimed here is a flat zero (0). Clear skies and a light northerly cross-off wind, but not a ripple of a wave.
Tuesday the 15th onward just keeps repeating the same story. Southerly and south-southwest winds, most days onshore, and never even a hint of swell height recorded. I do see a couple of glassy mornings—Thursday the 17th and Thursday the 24th—but glass without swell is just a flat lake.
For kite surfers, there are some afternoons with moderate cross-off easterlies around the 20th and 21st that could be fun, but for anyone holding a surfboard? This is a two-week dead zone. For a spot that’s usually consistent, this kind of dry run is unusual, but forecasts change—so don’t write it off for good.

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.
