Las Urracas Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here, let’s talk about what’s on the menu for Las Urracas.

Right off the bat, we’ve got a bit of a slow start, but this spot is a consistent reef, so it’s worth keeping an eye on. The first few days are all about small, clean windows. The real standout is going to be Tuesday the 28th. That morning, you’re looking at a 4ft SW groundswell with a 15-second period pushing through – that’s proper long-period energy, the kind that lines up beautifully on a reef. The wind is glassy, so the surface will be clean as a whistle. The combined energy is moderate (950), but that long period means you’ll be waiting for set waves that have real push. This is the best of the bunch for the next week.

The following week, the swell hangs around. Wednesday the 29th afternoon has a solid 6ft SW swell with glassy conditions (946 energy), which is a great shout for a late session. Then, fast forward to the 5th of August. That Wednesday afternoon is a hidden gem: calm winds, 5ft SW swell (10-second period), and the combined energy is up at 740 – another glassy, clean afternoon. The 6th of August Thursday morning pushes up to 6ft SW (13-second period, 980 energy), but it’s a bit onshore, so the quality will be a little less refined. That’s expert territory size-wise, but the wind is a shame.

The water temperature doesn’t have any anomaly, so it’s just average for the time of year – nothing to worry about in a wetsuit.

The second week is a bit more mixed. The 4th of August has a glassy morning (5ft SW, 486 energy), but the afternoons get a bit of a cross-on breeze. The 8th and 9th of August are all onshores and cross-on winds, so the quality drops off. The 5th of August afternoon is the clear winner in that second week.

So, to sum it up: Tuesday morning the 28th is the best session on offer, with Wednesday the 29th afternoon and Wednesday the 5th of August afternoon as your next best bets. The rest is a mixed bag of small, clean windows and onshore slop.

Rusty.
