Las Urracas Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here lookin' at the Las Urracas forecast. This is a reef break that fires on a WSW swell and is real dependable.

First things first, the early week is a bit of a dud. We got swell out of the southwest with a real long period of 17 to 18 seconds. That's deep-water energy, but the wind is cross-onshore and the surf is bein' called marginal. The wave energy's moderate (510), but the conditions just ain't there.

Thursday the 17th is the first real glimmer of hope. The swell drops to 2 to 3ft from the SW and the period normalizes to 12 seconds. The wave energy eases to 231, but the wind goes glassy. Dead calm. That means clean, smooth lines for a morning session. That's your best bet early on.

The weekend sees a little bump to 3ft on Saturday the 19th, but the wind is on it or cross-on again, so it's not worth the paddle. Water temp is about what you'd expect for the season.

The second week looks a lot better. Monday the 21st and Tuesday the 22nd are both glassy with clean 3ft to 3ft waves. The energy is up to 226 and 199, and the reports say "expect good surf conditions." That's a nice, chill window for some fun rides.

Now for the big one. Sunday the 27th into Monday the 28th is the standout. We got a solid 3ft to 4ft swell out of the WSW with a 12-second period. The wave energy jumps to 420, so there's some real power. The wind is glassy on Sunday morning and then turns cross-offshore in the afternoon. That's the recipe for perfect, peeling waves at this reef. This is the best the whole forecast has to offer. Monday stays clean with a cross-offshore breeze and fun 3ft waves.

After that, we're lookin' at small, glassy surf all the way to the end of the month. Nothin' special, but good for a longboard.

Bottom line: the early stuff is a write-off until Thursday the 17th for a glassy morning. But the real winner is that window from Sunday the 27th through Monday the 28th with good size and clean wind. That's the one to circle.

Rusty.
