Valdovino Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, let’s be real. Looking at this forecast for Valdovino, it's a bit of a grind. We got a lot of cross-shore wind and lumpy conditions that are gonna mess with the surface. There's a couple gaps where it cleans up, but you got to pick your times.

Water temp's a cool 62°, and that’s a good 4° colder than it should be this time of year. That’s a big deal, so you’ll want the thicker wetsuit.

First chance is Thursday the 10th in the morning. The ENE cross-off breeze and a 1.5m (5ft) NNW swell with a 10-second period could be worth a look. The energy is moderate (465), and it might be the cleanest we see for a few days. It’s not big, but it could be fun.

Next up, Sunday the 13th. That morning, the ENE cross-off wind is back and pushing a 1.8m (6ft) NW swell with a 12-second period. Energy is strong at 986, but the wind is likely to get messy in the afternoon. Get out early for that one.

Then Monday the 14th in the afternoon could be a sneaky pick. ENE cross-off, 1.0m (3ft) NW swell, and a gentle breeze (285 energy) – that’s a recipe for clean, small waves.

After that, it's pretty rough. From the 15th through the 18th, it's poor conditions with lumpy chop and onshore winds. The swell tries to pick up on the 18th and 19th, but the period is short and winds are all over the place. Honestly, it looks more like a kite-surfing wind farm than a surf spot.

There’s a tiny window on the 20th in the morning. 1.4m (5ft) NE swell, ENE cross-off wind, and a gentle breeze (329 energy). It’s an option, but the swell direction is poor and the period is short.

The last few days are looking weak. From the 21st to the 24th, there's no real energy, with swells under 1m and nothing with any period. For the whole stretch, the standout is probably Sunday morning the 13th. It’s got the most size and energy, even if the conditions are marginal. Don’t expect perfection, but if you want a wave, that’s your best bet.
