The Lowdown
Alright, let's get into it. The outlook starts with a bit of a flat spell here at Valdovino. The first proper surf we can talk about kicks off on Sunday the 23rd of August. Before that, it's a write-off with onshore winds and messy conditions.
Sunday morning the 23rd is where it gets interesting. A clean 3ft swell from the WSW, with a period of 10 seconds. The wind is offshore from the SSE at just 3 mph, so it will be glassy and clean. The combined energy is moderate at 310. This is your best early call for a smooth, easy-going session.
We then have a few days of ordinary surf. Monday the 24th has a small, weak 3ft NNE swell with a short period of 7 seconds and combined energy of just 130. It's surfable, but very ordinary. Tuesday and Wednesday aren't much better.
Look, the real standout is Friday the 28th of August. We've got a solid 12ft swell from the WNW, period of 10 seconds, with strong combined energy of 2133. The morning wind is offshore from the SSW at 9 mph. The conditions will be clean. However, this is big – over 8ft – so this is for experienced surfers only. This is the biggest pulse of the window and the one to watch.
Saturday the 29th is still solid with a 6ft swell from the NNW and clean morning conditions, energy dropping to 1057.
After that, the size fades. Monday the 31st of August sees a glassy start with a 5ft WNW swell. The wind is dead calm, just a slight air, making for a clean morning. Not huge, but clean.
Then there's another promising pulse on Wednesday the 2nd of September. A 8ft WNW groundswell, period of 10 seconds, with strong energy of 959. The wind is light and cross-off from the NE, keeping it clean. Again, this is on the bigger side.
The last noteworthy window is Thursday the 3rd of September morning. A 8ft NW swell with a very long 12-second period, producing very strong energy at 2387. The wind is cross-off from the SSW at 16 mph. The size and period make this one for the advanced crew only. That long-period swell will be lining up well here.
Overall, there are two clear standouts: Friday the 28th of August and Thursday the 3rd of September for the biggest, cleanest groundswells. Saturday the 29th of August and Wednesday the 2nd of September are the solid, very good options for the intermediates. For the smaller days, Sunday the 23rd of August and Monday the 31st of August offer the cleanest windows.
Remember, the water temperature is 60°F, and with a big anomaly, it is *much* colder than normal for this time of year. So, bring your thickest wetsuit and booties for Valdovino.

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.
