Praia de Asturias Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it for the Asturias region. We’ve got a rough patch of surf ahead, but there are a couple of moments worth paddling out for.

Honestly, right now the ocean’s looking pretty ordinary. We’ve got chest-high 3ft waves from the SSE with a 10-second period, but the water is a touch warmer than usual at 71°. The energy is moderate (221). The glassy wind on Tuesday morning will keep it clean, but the consistency is just not there. It’s surfable, but nothing to get excited about.

Wednesday morning sees a drop in energy to 148, with 3ft from the ESE. The wind is cross-off, so it’ll be clean, but the 8-second period means short, weak waves. Not your best bet.

Thursday brings a 12-second period swell from the south, but it’s tiny at 2ft and onshore wind ruins it. A no-go.

We’re looking at a real dead zone from Friday right through to the following Tuesday morning. The swell is small, winds are messy, and the energy is mostly weak. Not worth a paddle.

Now, Tuesday 15th September morning: a slight improvement. We’ve got 4ft from the SE with a 9-second period. The energy is moderate (253), and the wind is light cross-off, so the waves will be clean. It’s still ordinary, but it’s the best we’ve seen in a while.

Then, Wednesday 16th September afternoon is one of the better windows. The swell bumps up to 5ft from the SSE with a 9-second period, and the energy jumps to 456. The wind is cross-off and clean. This is where the surf actually starts to look decent. It’s a standout, but only for more experienced surfers – that size will be too much for beginners.

The following Thursday morning, 17th September, is glassy with 4ft from the SE, period 8 seconds, and energy of 285. It’s clean and surfable, but not a standout.

After that, it gets messy again. Friday and Saturday look poor, with onshore winds and choppy conditions. The swell on Saturday 19th September hits 6ft from the east, but with a cross-onshore wind, it’ll be a junky, powerful mess. Too big for beginners and only for experts who like a challenge.

The last week of the forecast is a mix of small, weak swells and clean conditions, but nothing that really excites. The energy is low, under 100 on some days, and the waves are small.

The best on offer is definitely Wednesday 16th September afternoon at Praia de Asturias. It’s a beach and reef setup, and the 5ft swell from the SSE with clean cross-off wind will be the most fun you’ll have. The consistency is poor, so don’t expect a set wave every minute, but when they come, they’ll be worth it. Crowds are possible, so get in the water early. This is the one to circle on the calendar.

Rusty.
