Las Urracas Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Las Urracas.

Right off the bat, we’ve got a window of opportunity. The forecast kicks off on Tuesday the 8th of September with some real promise. The morning is looking clean with glassy conditions and a solid SW groundswell running 4ft at 14 seconds. That’s a nice long-period groundswell, meaning proper energy and shape. The combined energy is sitting at a moderate 579, and the water is a balmy 66°F, which is 4°F warmer than usual – that’s notably warm for this time of year. This is the standout session of the whole run. The wind is dead calm, so it’s going to be glassy perfection. Head out early Tuesday morning.

The rest of the week and into the weekend is a bit of a mixed bag. Wednesday and Thursday mornings offer some left-over swell, but the wind is cross-onshore, putting a bit of a bump on the surface. Afternoons get choppy with stronger breeze. The wave energy is still moderate (around 500-600), but the quality drops right off. Friday is smaller, around 3ft, and the wind stays messy.

Saturday the 12th is another bright spot. The morning shows a clean 3ft of SW swell, period of 12 seconds, and flat calm winds – glassy again. It’s a smaller day, but for an intermediate-level reef, it’ll be clean and fun. The energy is a weaker 268, but the conditions make up for it.

After that, it’s a long stretch of onshore and cross-onshore winds, with a few patches of glass. The swell drops and picks up, but the wind is generally the villain. There’s a couple of sessions worth noting if you’re desperate: Monday the 14th morning has a bit more size at 4ft, but it’s cross-onshore. A real stand-out in the second week is Tuesday the 15th morning – back to 3ft, clean glassy conditions, and a solid 528 combined energy. That’s a good one, but it’s over a week away, so keep an eye on it.

The very end of the run, on Wednesday the 23rd of September, serves up a surprise: a glassy morning with 2ft of long-period SW groundswell (13 seconds) and calm winds. The energy is 231, so it’s weak, but the conditions are perfect. A glassy wave, even if small, is a treat.

Overall, don’t expect a long run of easy days. There are notable gaps between the clean windows, but when it’s glassy at Las Urracas, it’s a proper reef wave. The best bet is absolutely Tuesday morning, the 8th. Second best is Saturday the 12th morning, and then keep an eye on that Tuesday the 15th morning for a potential repeat.

Rusty out.
