Las Urracas Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here, and we’ve got a solid run of surf ahead at Las Urracas. This reef setup is a cracker, very consistent, and it’s gonna be working most days through the next couple of weeks. The water’s sitting about average for the time of year, so no dramas there.

We kick off Wednesday the 2nd of September with a beauty. Morning’s got clear skies, glassy conditions with a light W wind at 3 mph, and the swell’s coming in from the SW at 2 ft with a very long 18-second period. That’s proper groundswell – long waits between sets but plenty of push, and at a reef, it’ll line up nicely. Combined energy’s sitting at 607 (moderate), and the afternoon cleans right up with a flat calm, glassy 4 ft SW swell at 10 seconds. This is the pick of the first few days – clean, fun, and the sort of session that’ll have you grinning.

Thursday the 3rd stays okay, morning’s a bit onshore making it look average, but the afternoon turns glassy again with a 3 ft SW swell, 17-second period, and energy up to 717 (moderate). Friday the 4th sees a bump in size to 5 ft SW, 15-second period, and the afternoon glass-off gives you a clean wave with strong energy at 959 (moderate). That’s solid, punchy surf, good for intermediates, but it’s not too big to spook you.

Saturday the 5th is a standout morning – glassy, 4 ft SW, 13 seconds, and a lovely 669 energy reading. Clean, consistent, and the reef’s gonna be humming. The weekend’s looking sweet.

From Sunday the 6th into Monday the 7th, the wind swings a bit cross-onshore, so the waves get a little bumpy, but the swell hangs around 2 ft to 3 ft with long periods. It’s not the best of the run, but still rideable if you’re keen. Tuesday the 8th is a real gem – morning glassy with a NW wind, 3 ft SW swell, 14 seconds, and the afternoon goes flat calm with 0 mph wind, 3 ft SW swell, and energy at 518 (moderate). That’s a sweet, clean session.

After that, the surf gets a bit messy from Wednesday the 9th through to the middle of the month. Cross-onshore winds, bumpy conditions, and the swell dips a bit. Thursday the 11th afternoon cleans up with glassy 3 ft SW swell at 13 seconds, and Saturday the 12th afternoon goes flat calm again with 3 ft SW swell, 12 seconds, energy at 316 (moderate). Worth a paddle if you’re patient.

The second week, from the 13th to the 17th, the wind is mostly cross-onshore or onshore, with swell around 2 ft to 3 ft, and the energy drops off. Wednesday the 16th afternoon has a glassy moment with 2 ft SSW swell, 14 seconds, energy at 260 (weak), but it’s a smaller window. The best late-period call is Tuesday the 15th afternoon – 3 ft SSW, 14 seconds, glassy – but it’s a shorter session.

Overall, the standout days are Wednesday the 2nd afternoon, Saturday the 5th morning, and Tuesday the 8th afternoon. That’s where you’ll find the cleanest, most fun waves. Las Urracas is a reef, so it loves these long-period SW swells, and with the crowds sometimes there, you might have a few mates out, but it’s worth it.

Rusty.
