Las Urracas Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for Las Urracas over this 16-day stretch. The first real chance for a wave comes in on the 17th, so we are looking at a slow start.

The initial few days are a write-off. We've got small, weak swell with cross-onshore winds, and the conditions are just ordinary. The energy is barely there, and the wave quality is poor. You wouldn't even get your feet wet for that. A real slow start to the outlook.

Thursday the 17th morning is where it turns. Las Urracas, a very consistent reef setup, wakes up to clean conditions with that cross-offshore breeze and a clean face. It's not big, at 3ft from the SW, but the period is a decent 12 seconds, so there's some shape to it. The combined energy is moderate (229), but it's the best we've seen so far. A good one for the intermediate crew looking for a fun, clean session.

The highlight of the first week really comes on Saturday the 19th. Both the morning and afternoon sessions at Las Urracas are clean, with a light cross-offshore wind and swell holding at 3ft from the SW. The period drops a touch to 11 seconds, still plenty of punch, and the energy is moderate (256 and 244). The crowds here are "sometimes", so you might get a few people out, but the conditions are good enough to share. It’s a solid, fun day.

We get a few days of small, glassy surf from the 20th to the 24th, but honestly, it's pretty ordinary. The swell is tiny, under 3ft, and the energy is low. You can get a wave, but there's nothing to write home about. It’s a bit of a lull.

The real standout is the final weekend, starting Saturday the 26th. That morning is the pick of the entire forecast. Las Urracas gets a 4ft swell from the WSW with a 12-second period, and it is glassy. The water is about average for this time of year. The combined energy is strong (544), and the whole setup looks very good. This is the one to circle. Clean, solid, and with that longer period, the reef at Las Urracas is going to handle it beautifully. Sunday the 27th is still good, but a little smaller.

Then, a big pulse of SW groundswell arrives on Monday the 28th. We're looking at 6ft in the morning and 6ft in the afternoon. That is expert territory; this is not for beginners. The period is a short 10 seconds, so it will be a bit steeper and walled up, but with glassy conditions and very strong combined energy (677 to 724), the experienced crew are going to have a classic session if they can handle it. Keep an eye on the wind; it stays light.

The last couple of days in the forecast drop off again with onshore winds and messy conditions. The 28th is the real bomb in this run.
