Praia de Asturias Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, listen up, folks. It’s a pretty quiet stretch ahead for this part of the coast. We’re looking at a long gap of small, weak, or just plain messy surf before things finally start to show a little life. There’s nothing that’s going to blow your mind, but if you’re patient, the back half of this outlook has a couple of windows where it gets worthwhile.

First up, we’ve got Praia de Asturias. It’s a sheltered beach and reef setup, which isn’t seeing much action to start. On Saturday the 25th, we’ve got some glassy conditions with tiny 0.9m SSE swell. The combined energy is low at 167, and it’s just surfable but nothing to write home about. Water temp is sitting at 20°, which is about normal for this time of year—nothing weird there.

Sunday the 26th drops even smaller at 0.6m, but the period jumps to 14 seconds, which is a proper groundswell. Energy climbs a bit to 244, and with glassy NE winds in the morning, it’ll be clean. A long period swell like this at a beach and reef break can get a little too straight-breaking and hard to read, but for the size, it’s not going to be a problem.

From Monday the 27th all the way through to Sunday the 2nd of August, it’s mostly poor. We’re talking tiny waves, onshore winds, and weak energy—a real dry spell. The combined energy dips down into the double digits or low triple digits, with the lowest being just 40 on the morning of July 31st. You’re looking at nearly a full week of rubbish.

Then things start to pick up. On Monday morning the 3rd of August, we get a 0.7m SSE swell with a 14-second period and glassy conditions. Energy reads 228—moderate but still just ordinary waves. That’s the first sign of hope.

The standout in this whole outlook lands on Tuesday morning the 4th of August. The swell bumps up to 1.2m from the SSE, period drops to 10 seconds, but the combined energy jumps to 378. That’s moderate energy heading in. The wind is light and cross-offshore from the north, keeping it clean. It’s not huge, but it’s the best quality on offer. Crowds can be an issue here sometimes, so if you’re keen, get in early.

Wednesday morning the 5th holds with a similar 1.3m SE swell and cross-offshore wind from the WSW, energy at 309. Clean again, but the swell direction is shifting a bit.

Thursday morning the 6th of August, it’s totally glassy with a 1.1m SE swell, energy at 209. That’s another good session for small-wave gear.

After that, we fade back into smaller, weaker surf again for the final days. Saturday the 8th and Sunday the 9th offer some glassy or clean windows with 0.9m to 1.0m ESE swell, but it’s low energy and nothing special.

So, to sum it up: a long flat spell, then a handful of clean, small-to-modest days around the 3rd to 6th of August. Tuesday the 4th morning is your pick of the bunch. Don’t expect greatness, but there’s surfable, clean waves if you’re willing to wait.
