Las Urracas Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Las Urracas over the next couple of weeks.

It’s a quiet start, I gotta tell ya. Tuesday the 25th of August is pretty much a write-off with a weak 2ft SSW swell and a stiff cross-onshore breeze. That’s a no-go. But hang in there, because Wednesday the 26th sees a glimmer of hope. The morning turns glassy with a tiny 2ft WSW swell, and while it’s not gonna blow your mind, it’s clean and rideable for the longboard. The energy is still modest (217).

Now, if you really want to get your blood pumping, you need to keep your eyes on Friday the 28th of August. That afternoon is the standout of the whole run. The swell jumps to a solid 8ft from the SW with a very long period of 15 seconds, and the wind goes glassy. The wave energy is pumping hard (2333). This is a reef break, and that long-period SW groundswell is going to wrap in beautifully. This is one for the experienced crew – it’s going to be hefty, clean, and absolutely on. The morning of the 28th is a bit questionable with a cross-onshore wind and the same 8ft swell, but the afternoon is where the magic is.

Saturday the 29th and Sunday the 30th are still holding decent 6ft to 5ft SW swells, but that light cross-onshore wind keeps things from being perfect. It’s surfable, but a little bumpy. The energy stays moderate to strong (1347 down to 641).

We drop off a bit into the start of September. Tuesday the 1st of September afternoon shapes up nicely with a glassy 3ft SW swell and clean conditions – a good little session if you’re after something mellow. Then Thursday the 3rd of September afternoon has a gorgeous 3ft SW groundswell with a very long 17-second period and dead calm, glassy water. That’s a gem of a day, super clean, even if the size is small.

Further out, Friday the 4th of September afternoon delivers another top-shelf moment. Expect a 5ft SW swell with glassy conditions and strong energy (1077). That’s excellent for a confident intermediate surfer, clean and punchy.

After that, things get a little messier through the second week of September. There are waves, mostly in the 4ft to 6ft range from the SW, but the wind keeps swinging cross-onshore or onshore, keeping the quality average.

Best of the bunch: Friday 28th August afternoon is the absolute top pick for experienced surfers – big, clean, and powerful. Thursday 3rd September afternoon is the sleeper hit for the longboarders and fun-hunters – glassy, long-period lines, just beautiful.

The water temp isn't flagged as unusual, so it’s about average for this time of year.

Stay tuned, and keep an eye on that Friday. Glassy and pumping, that’s the one.
