Praia de Asturias Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let me tell ya how it’s lookin’ for the next couple weeks. Gotta be honest with ya, it’s a rough run ahead. Praia de Asturias is the only spot we’ve got on the menu, and it’s a sheltered little number that’s more beginner-friendly, but the consistency is an issue — this place is inconsistent, so we’re gonna be starvin’ for waves for a good chunk of this forecast.

Right now, the ocean’s barely coughin’ up anything worthwhile. The water temp is sittin’ around 69°, which is about normal for the time of year, nothin’ wild there.

The first real window of hope pops up on Monday morning, July 27th. We’ve got a small 2ft swell rollin’ in from the southeast, period is short at 8 seconds, so it’s not gonna have much punch or shape — combined energy is a weak 124 (moderate wave energy). But the wind is glassy, absolutely dead calm from the ENE, so if you’re itchin’ for a paddle, the surface will be like a mirror. It’s surfable but ordinary — nothin’ to write home about.

Things stay sleepy through the week. On Friday morning, July 31st, we see another little bump: 2ft from the south, period stretches to 10 seconds, and the combined energy climbs to 123 (moderate wave energy). Glassy wind again from the WSW, so it’ll be clean. It’s still small, but those longer gaps between sets will make paddlin’ out manageable.

Come Saturday morning, August 1st, there’s a 2ft south swell at 11 seconds — combined energy of 104 (moderate wave energy). Winds are calm and glassy. Again, tiny waves, but if you’re desperate, the conditions will be clean.

We got a bit more interestin’ on Tuesday, August 4th. The morning brings 2ft swell from the SSE with a 12-second period — combined energy up at 195 (moderate wave energy). Glassy wind from the SE, so we’re still clean. Then Tuesday afternoon, the swell bumps to 4ft from the SSE, same 12-second period, and the energy jumps to 410 (moderate wave energy). That’s the biggest we see in the whole run. But the wind turns light cross-shore from the SSW, so it’ll have a little ripple on it, and there’s a note about questionable tide conditions. It’s the standout of the whole block, though — moderate waves, decent period, and the biggest energy of the stretch.

Thursday morning, August 6th, also looks alright with 3ft from the SE, 10-second period, 218 energy (moderate wave energy), and perfectly glassy conditions from the east — dead calm. Clean, small, but rideable.

After that, the second week goes flat and quiet. A few mornings like Friday August 7th afternoon show a glassy 2ft, but it’s just small and uninspiring. Energy stays below 100 most of the time, and the waves rarely crack the 3ft mark.

Overall, the best bet in this whole outlook is Tuesday, August 4th afternoon with that 4ft SSE swell. But honestly, the rest of the time you’re scrappin’ for tiny, clean but weak surf. If you can wait, the 4th is your best shot at somethin’ with a little push. But don't expect much else across these 16 days.
