Praia de Asturias Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you—this 16-day window for Praia de Asturias is a bit of a mixed bag, and honestly, it’s mostly a waiting game. The first week is pretty flat and messy, with only a couple of tiny windows that are barely worth wetting your hair. The real interest starts to build into the second week, with a couple of mornings that could actually get your heart rate up.

We kick things off on Wednesday the 5th with clean, glassy conditions but tiny surf. You’re looking at a mere 2ft of south swell with an 11-second period. The combined energy is weak at 117, so it’s really just a paddle-around-and-enjoy-the-sun kind of session. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there. Friday the 7th is a write-off, the swell drops to 1ft and the wind is all over the place.

Then things get a little more interesting on Saturday the 8th. The swell jumps to 5ft from the SSE with a 12-second period, and the combined energy spikes to 682. That’s moderate energy, but the onshore wind is going to chop it up. It’s a pass for me.

Sunday the 9th is clean with a cross-offshore breeze, but the swell drops back down to 3ft. It’s surfable, but not the standout.

The middle of the week from Monday the 10th to Wednesday the 12th is pretty poor. Light rain and onshore winds, with the swell staying in the 3ft to 5ft range. The period drops off, and the energy is all over the place. Not worth the drive.

Now, here’s where it gets interesting. Thursday the 14th is the first real standout. The morning is a bit cross-on, but the afternoon turns glassy, and we’ve got 5ft of SSE swell with a 14-second period. The combined energy is a solid 766. This is a proper groundswell, and the clean conditions are going to make it feel much better than the number suggests. This is your best bet for a proper session.

Friday the 15th has the biggest period of the window at 16 seconds, but the wind is going to ruin it by the afternoon. The morning is still a possibility with 3ft of swell, but the moderate cross-onshore will make it messy.

Sunday the 16th is dead calm and glassy, but the swell has backed off to 3ft. It’s clean, but small.

The second week’s real gem is Wednesday the 20th. The forecast is for 5ft of east swell with a short 7-second period. The combined energy is a strong 456, and with a clean, cross-offshore wind, it could be firing. The short period means it might be a bit sectiony, but for this spot, it looks like the best on offer. It’s a bit far out, so treat it as promising, not a guarantee.

So, if you’re picking your moments, Thursday the 14th afternoon is your best call for clean, powerful surf. And keep an eye on Wednesday the 20th—that could be the dark horse. Otherwise, it’s a lot of small, ordinary days. The crowds are possible here, so if you do score a good one, you might have some company.

Rusty out.
