Alright, Rusty here again, let's switch it up to feet and degrees Fahrenheit.
So, looking at Las Urracas for the next couple of weeks. Water temp is about 63°, right around normal for this time of year.
Thursday the 2nd kicks things off with a 6ft SSW swell, 14-second period, and a combined energy of 1202 (moderate wave energy). But that cross-on wind is gonna mess it up. The next few days through Saturday see the swell drop from 5ft down to 3ft, but the wind stays cross-on, so it's a frustrating wait.
Tuesday the 7th is your first real standout. Only 4ft of SW swell, but with a 15-second period, and Tuesday afternoon goes glassy. Flat calm. That reef is going to be clean and smooth. The energy is moderate at 776, but conditions make it punch above its weight.
Thursday the 9th afternoon gives us another glassy window: 4ft SW swell, 16-second period. That's long-period groundswell on a reef. Beautiful.
Into the second week, Friday the 10th afternoon goes glassy again with 4ft of SW swell, 13-second period. Worth getting wet. Sunday the 12th afternoon also turns glassy with 3ft of 15-second SSW swell. Small, but clean.
Keep an eye on Friday the 17th morning. That's a 4ft SSW swell, 16-second period, and glassy wind. Energy is back up to 901. It's a ways out, so not a sure thing, but it could be the pick of the whole run.
Crowds are a "sometimes" thing here, and the break is very consistent. The long period swells are perfect for this reef setup, giving you long walls and easy paddling between sets. Most of the bigger swells are over 5ft, so it's intermediate territory – leave the beginners on the beach for those days.
Rusty out.

Information about the Las Urracas Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Las Urracas provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Las Urracas can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Las Urracas surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Las Urracas) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Las Urracas may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
