Las Urracas Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, I’m Rusty, and I’ve been staring at the charts for your stretch of coast. Let’s get into it.

Alright, look, the next couple of weeks are a bit of a mixed bag at Las Urracas. It’s a very consistent reef setup that handles a WSW swell best, and we’ve got a solid run of clean conditions coming up, but the real standout is early next week. The water is sitting at 66°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so you might not even need a spring suit.

The first real action kicks off Saturday morning, August 1st. It’s a bit messy with a light cross-onshore breeze, but the swell is 4ft from the SW at 11 seconds, and the combined energy is moderate (483). It’s not the best, honestly. The afternoon cleans right up though – glassy conditions, same 4ft SW swell, and the energy is still moderate (476). That’s your first decent session.

Sunday and Monday are a bit of a write-off with marginal conditions and smaller swells around 4ft. Nothing to rush for.

Now, here’s the good stuff. Tuesday, August 4th is where it’s at. Tuesday morning we’ve got a clean 6ft SW swell with a 12 second period, and the wind is a light cross-offshore from the north. The combined energy is strong (816) – you’ll feel that push. That’s prime. The afternoon holds up at 5ft, but the wind goes cross-shore, so it’s a bit less clean. Still, a solid day.

Wednesday, August 5th, is another standout. Glassy conditions in the morning, 5ft SW swell at 12 seconds, and the energy is strong (814). That’s a fun, punchy wave on the reef. The wind is dead calm, so it’ll be as clean as a whistle. A fantastic mid-week option.

Thursday, August 6th, the swell jumps to 5ft with a very long period of 16 seconds in the afternoon. That’s groundswell, mate. The combined energy is very strong (1261). The catch is the wind is a light cross-onshore, so it’ll be a bit textured. That long period swell will be wrapping nicely around the reef, but it might be a bit too straight for the beachies. For the reef at Las Urracas, it’ll be excellent.

After that, the swell drops off through the second week. Saturday, August 8th, the swell is down to 3ft in the morning and 3ft in the afternoon, with poor conditions. The week after that is mostly marginal, with small swells and onshore winds. There’s a glimmer on Saturday, August 15th, with glassy conditions and a 3ft SW swell at 14 seconds. Combined energy is moderate (480). That’s a fun little session to wrap up the outlook.

The best of the best is undoubtedly Tuesday morning, August 4th, and Wednesday morning, August 5th. Clean, strong SW swell, good period, and the right wind. The long period stuff on Thursday, August 6th, is also a cracker, but the wind is a touch more on it. If you’re picking one, make it Wednesday morning.
