Las Urracas Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s look at what’s coming up for Las Urracas.

This is a reef break, very consistent, and right in the swell. The water’s at 19°, a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – nothing extreme, but you’ll feel it’s a little more comfortable than usual.

The first chance to get in the water is Friday morning, July 31. There’s a 3ft WSW swell, 12-second period, combined energy moderate at 264. The wind is light and cross-onshore, so not perfect, but a start. The afternoon gets choppy, so don’t bother.

Saturday, August 1, things pick up. The morning has a 4ft SW swell, 11-second period, energy jumping to 483 (moderate, getting stronger). The wind goes offshore, WSW at 5 km/h, so it’s clean. Then Saturday afternoon the wind drops to glassy, calm as a pond, with the swell holding at 4ft, 10-second period, energy 476. This is a solid little window – clean, surfable, and the crowd factor is “sometimes,” so you might have a few people but nothing too crazy.

Sunday morning, August 2, is a washout – tiny 2ft and cross-onshore. But Sunday afternoon goes glassy again, 4ft SW, 10-second period, energy 433. Clean and fun.

Monday, August 3, is mixed. Morning is onshore with a 3ft SSW swell, but the afternoon goes glassy, 3ft SW, 13-second period, energy 428. That longer period will give you some nice lines on the reef.

Now, the standout window is Tuesday, August 4, through to Thursday, August 6. On Tuesday, the swell pushes to 5ft SW, 12-second period, and the energy is strong: 666 in the morning, 708 in the afternoon. The wind is glassy in the afternoon, so it’s going to be clean and punchy. Wednesday, August 5, is even better – 5ft SW, 12-second period, energy 863 in the morning, 834 in the afternoon. Glassy all day. This is the kind of day you’d call in sick for. Then Thursday, August 6, the morning is 4ft, glassy, energy 877. But the afternoon is the real gem: 6ft SW, 16-second period (very long period groundswell), energy 1440. That’s strong, powerful, and long lines. The reef is going to love that. It’s a big swell, so only for experienced surfers, but the quality is top-notch.

Friday, August 7, drops off – 5ft in the morning, cross-onshore, messy. The weekend of August 8-9 is small and glassy in the afternoons, so fun for a cruise but nothing special.

The following week from August 10 onward has some potential. Wednesday, August 12, the afternoon goes glassy with a 6ft SW swell, 10-second period, energy 727. That’s a solid, clean wave. Thursday, August 13, holds 6ft in the morning, but the wind is onshore, so it’s messy. Friday, August 14, is similar – 6ft, but cross-onshore. The best of that second week is Saturday, August 15, afternoon: glassy, 4ft SSW, 10-second period, energy 670. Clean and fun.

Overall, the clear standout is the window from Tuesday, August 4, through to Thursday, August 6, with Thursday afternoon being the absolute peak. If you’re a confident surfer, that’s the one to target. The crowds are only “sometimes,” so you’ll have plenty of waves to yourself.
