The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let’s break it down. We’re looking at a long stretch of nothing much to start, then a couple of windows that might get you wet.
Right off the bat, there’s a big gap. From the 16th through the 23rd, it’s mostly messy cross-shore winds and weak, short-period junk. Water temp at Valdovino is about 64°F, which is a touch cooler than normal for the season—not wild, but you’ll want a wetsuit.
On Thursday August 20th, a solid, long-period groundswell from the NNW shows up, 6ft with a 12-second period and combined energy hitting 1043 (moderate). But the wind is cross and messy, so it’s more of a kite-surfing day than clean paddle surf. That’s the pattern for most of the first week and a half: some size, but no quality.
Your first real chance is Saturday August 22nd early morning. Valdovino offers a clean 4ft NNW swell (9-second period) with a light cross-offshore breeze out of the ENE at 15 km/h. Combined energy is 273 (moderate). The break is fairly exposed, consistent, but crowds are often a thing here, so get out early. That’s the best of the first half.
Then we slide back into poor conditions through the 23rd and 24th, with stronger NE winds and lumpy chop ruining 7ft to 8ft waves. That’s expert territory, and with the wind all wrong, it’s a hard pass.
Things get interesting again on Thursday August 27th. That morning, Valdovino is glassy with a 3ft NW swell and zero wind—combined energy just 67 (weak), so it’s tiny, but dead calm. That afternoon is even better: glassy again, 3ft WNW swell with an 8-second period and energy 107 (weak). This is the other standout: small but perfect for a longboard.
Later on, Saturday August 29th has a 5ft to 5ft NNW swell with a 10-second period and energy around 593-617 (moderate), but cross to cross-onshore wind makes it choppy. Monday August 31st offers a 6ft NW swell, 9-second period, energy 429 (moderate), with only a light cross breeze in the morning—marginal but the best of the late run.
To cut it short: the standout is Saturday August 22nd morning for clean fun-sized waves, and Thursday August 27th for glassy small-wave bliss. The rest is either blown out or just for the kite crew. Keep your eyes peeled on the long-range—it might clean up, but right now, patience is the name of the game.
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.
