Las Urracas Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break it down.

We’ve got a solid run of swell at Las Urracas, a reef break that’s super consistent and open to the WSW. The water’s sitting at 65°F – a touch warmer than usual for the season.

The real standout is Tuesday the 8th. We’re looking at a clean 4ft swell from the southwest, with a 14-second period – that’s proper groundswell with some real punch. The wind is glassy all day, both morning and afternoon. The combined energy is moderate (580), but the conditions are primo. This is the pick of the window. The break is a reef, so that long period will wrap in nicely. Crowds are sometimes a thing here, so expect a few others out.

Monday the 7th is a decent warm-up. The morning is a bit messy with a light cross-onshore, but the afternoon goes glassy. The swell is 3ft to 3ft from the SW, period 15 to 16 seconds – long, clean lines. The afternoon energy is 576, so there’s enough juice to get into. Not the biggest, but glassy conditions make it very surfable.

Saturday the 12th brings a bump in size to 5ft, but the period drops to 8 seconds – that’s weak, short-period windswell. The morning is glassy, so it’ll be clean, but the waves will be a bit fat and crumbly. Still fun for a cruise.

Sunday the 13th is similar: 3ft at 8 seconds, glassy morning, clean but gutless.

After the 13th, we hit a rough patch. The swell drops off and the wind gets messy. There’s a gap of poor to marginal conditions from the 14th through the 19th, with only a few glassy windows. The 15th Tuesday morning has a glassy clean 3ft at 15 seconds, but the energy is moderate (540), so it’s a small, clean window. The 20th Sunday afternoon also goes glassy with a 1ft at 17 seconds, but that’s tiny.

The 22nd Tuesday morning is glassy with a 2ft at 10 seconds – small, weak, but at least it’s clean.

So, the best of the run is clear: Tuesday the 8th. Get it while it’s clean.

Rusty.
