Las Urracas Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here, let's have a look at what's on offer.

So, we're checking out Las Urracas for the next couple of weeks, and the first few days are a bit of a mess. There's some swell, with moderate energy, but the wind is just blowing the wrong way, cross-onshore, making a hash of what would be clean 2ft to 3ft waves. It's not gonna be one for the log. The water's a touch warmer than usual, sitting at 65°, nothing too wild.

Now, from Saturday the 15th morning, we finally get a break. The wind turns glassy, which is a game-changer. The swell is a modest 3ft from the southwest with a solid 14-second period. It's not big, but with clean conditions, it'll be fun. The energy is moderate.

But the real standout, the one to circle, is Monday the 17th morning. We get glassy conditions again, the swell is 4ft from the Southwest, and the period is a nice 14 seconds. The forecast says expect very good surf, and I'm with them. The energy is solid. This is a reef break, and with that long-period groundswell, it should be reeling off nicely. It's an intermediate spot, so not for the beginners. Crowds are a possibility here, but it's not always packed.

After that, there are a few more morning glassy sessions on the 18th, the 20th, and even the 26th of August, but the swell is smaller or the wind plays up. The 20th morning looks decent with 4ft SW and glassy wind.

Looking further out, there's a big stretch of poor surf from the 22nd to the 25th. Flat and choppy. The 27th and 28th have some swell coming back, but the onshore wind kills it. There's a glimmer on the afternoon of the 26th with glassy wind and a 3ft SSW swell, but that's a long way off and forecasts can flip.

The call: Monday the 17th morning at Las Urracas is your best shot in this entire 16-day window. The rest is mostly waiting for the wind to sort itself out.

Rusty.
