Las Urracas Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here with a look at what's shaping up for Las Urracas.

This reef break is going to be a bit of a slow burner over the next week or so, but there’s some real promise for those with patience. The start is pretty weak, with small, long-period SW groundswells making things marginal, and tricky cross-onshore breezes. But if you hold out, there are two clear standouts that will be worth the wait.

The first one to circle is Monday, August 17th. We’ve got a solid 4ft SW groundswell rolling in with a period around 14 seconds. The real kicker is the wind: it’s glassy as all get-out in the morning (moderate wave energy, around 506). Conditions look very good, offering clean, lined-up walls on the reef. This is likely the best session of the entire first week.

Then, the true standout of the whole forecast lands on Tuesday, August 28th. That’s the one you don’t miss. We’re looking at a push to 6ft from the WSW (strong wave energy at 986) with a 13-second period. The wind goes glassy in the afternoon with that NNE breeze, promising clean, open faces. This one has the size and the power, and with the right swell direction matching the reef’s optimum WSW, it’s got all the ingredients for a classic session. The water temperature feels about average for this time of year.

A heads-up: this is a very consistent spot, but it can draw a crowd sometimes, so expect company for that Tuesday session.

Between those highlights, Tuesday afternoon the 18th also looks fun with a glassy 5ft WSW swell (775), and Thursday afternoon the 20th offers a glassy 3ft SW swell for a smaller, cleaner board. After the 20th, the second week gets pretty quiet, with a long run of small, weak swells and messy onshore breezes until that big Tuesday the 28th. There’s a four-day gap from the 24th to the 27th with nothing but poor to marginal conditions.

So, in short: Monday the 17th for clean, quality waves, and Tuesday the 28th is the big one you want to be out for.

Rusty.
