Las Urracas Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, it’s Rusty. Alright, let’s talk Las Urracas in feet and miles per hour.

Water temperature is pretty standard for this time of year, nothing weird.

First real standout? Friday afternoon, September 4th. Glassy as a mirror, calm wind, and the swell is about 5ft from the SW, period around 15 seconds – a proper groundswell. Combined energy is 939 (moderate), and the report says very good. That’s the session to aim for. It’s a reef break, very consistent, so those long-period lines should wrap beautifully down the reef. At 5ft, intermediates will love it, but beginners might find it a bit spicy.

Then things quieten down. Next good window is Monday morning, September 7th – glassy again, 3ft from the SW, 16-second period, energy at 648 (moderate). Small but clean. The afternoon is also glassy at 3ft.

Tuesday the 8th afternoon brings another glassy window with 3ft SW swell, 14-second period, and moderate energy (529). Very good again.

Through the 11th and 12th September, we get a few more glassy mornings and afternoons with 2ft to 3ft swells, some with periods out to 20 seconds on the 12th afternoon – tiny but silky smooth.

Sunday the 13th bumps up to 5ft from the WSW, 15-second period, energy near 999 (moderate), but the wind is cross-onshore and it’s choppy. Not the pick.

Monday the 14th September morning is a standout: 4ft from the WSW, 13-second period, glassy. Energy is 800 (moderate) and very good conditions. The afternoon is also glassy at 4ft.

After that, the second week fades. Some glassy windows around the 16th and 17th, but the swell period drops to 10 seconds, so the waves will be weaker and less defined. Still rideable, just not as good.

Best overall is Friday afternoon, September 4th – that 5ft groundswell and glassy conditions is the highlight. Second best is Monday the 14th morning.

Crowds are “sometimes” at this reef, so expect a few locals out but nothing mental.

Rusty.
