The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let's have a look at what’s coming for Santa Comba over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, it’s a quiet start. The first few days are pretty ordinary, with light to moderate winds messing up the shape. You’ll see some small swell around on Tuesday the 1st of September, about 5ft from the NW with a period of 9 seconds, but it’s cross-on with a NE breeze at 6 mph, leaving things a bit lumpy. The combined swell energy is moderate though, sitting at 351. The water temp is 63°, which feels a bit colder than normal for this time of year.
We get a real standout on Sunday the 6th of September. Morning glass-off with a SSW breeze at just 3 mph, and a solid 4ft groundswell from the NNW with an 11-second period. The combined energy is strong at 475, and the conditions are set to be clean and glassy. This is the best you’ll see in the first week – get on it early.
Then things go quiet again for a stretch, with no real highlights until Wednesday the 9th of September. That morning is another winner: a 5ft NW swell with an 11-second period, cross-off wind from the SW at 6 mph, and the energy is pumping at 552. Clean conditions and a proper wave – that’s the one to aim for.
After that, it’s a bit of a mixed bag. There’s a promising window on Tuesday the 15th of September: early morning glass with a 4ft swell from the W at 11 seconds, energy at 433. Good surf conditions are expected, so keep an eye on it.
The absolute standout of the entire forecast is Wednesday the 16th of September. Glassy conditions both morning and afternoon, with the morning bringing a 4ft WNW groundswell at a very long 13 seconds – that’s a proper long-period groundswell, perfect for a point or reef setup. Combined energy is a whopping 708. The afternoon is even glassier with zero wind and a 5ft WNW swell at 12 seconds, energy at 599. That is the day to clear your schedule, but being so far out, long-range, treat it as promising rather than locked in.
Santa Comba is consistent, so even when the surf looks meh, it can turn around quickly. Keep an eye on that Wednesday the 16th – that could be a beauty.
Rusty.

Information about the Santa Comba Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Santa Comba provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Santa Comba can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Santa Comba 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 (Santa Comba) 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 Santa Comba 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.
