The Lowdown
Alright mates, Rusty here, checking the boards for the next couple weeks. Bit of a slow start, but there’s one day that’s got my heart pumping.
Valdovino is the only spot in the mix. It’s pretty exposed and breaks consistently for intermediate surfers. Water’s about 64°F, which is a touch cooler than average for the season.
The first few days are a dud. Saturday the 12th and Sunday the 13th have lousy surf and fresh cross-off breezes. Monday the 14th shows a small 3ft NW swell with glassy conditions in the afternoon – clean but ordinary.
Tuesday the 15th and Wednesday the 16th get a bit more size but the wind makes it a choppy mess. Thursday the 17th is still messy with 5ft to 6ft waves and cross-shore chop.
Now, for the one that matters. Saturday the 19th morning. We’ve got a solid 7ft swell from the NW with a 13-second period – that’s deep ocean groundswell (1365 combined energy). The wind is a light cross-off from the SSW, keeping the faces clean. This is excellent for experienced surfers – it’s way too big for beginners. The long period means the sets will be long and lined up, suited to this break. Crowds are *often* around, so don’t sleep in.
The following week stays active but messy. Sunday the 20th morning has 7ft from the NW with moderate cross-off winds and marginal conditions. Energy is high (1097) but the quality is off. Monday the 21st and Tuesday the 22nd pump out 8ft to 10ft from the NW, but those fresh ENE winds keep it from being glassy. If you’ve got the nerve and a big board, there’s massive power (over 2000 energy), but it’s a fight.
Things fade later in the week. Wednesday the 23rd and Thursday the 24th drop to small 3ft to 5ft, glassy on Thursday morning. Good for a longboard cruise.
The final days see a bump back up to 7ft to 10ft on the 27th, but the wind goes cross-on and choppy. Not worth it.
So the call is clear: Saturday the 19th morning is your only true standout. Clean, powerful NW groundswell with light offshore wind. For the experienced crew, it’s your window. Paddle out early.
Rusty.

Information about the Valdovino Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Valdovino provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Valdovino can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Valdovino 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 (Valdovino) 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 Valdovino 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.
Valdovino is 11 km (7 miles) from the city of Naron. If you plan a holiday in Galicia, look for hotels and other accommodation in Naron. Naron has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
