Buchupureo Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, it’s Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Buchupureo. This is a classic point break that’s exposed to the swell, and it’s consistent, so it usually has something going on. The water temp is sitting at 55°, which is pretty much normal for this time of year, so nothing wild there.

The next few days are a bit of a write-off, to be honest. Tuesday the 28th is messy with light cross-shore winds and a middling 7ft W swell, but the energy is there (1312) – it’s just not clean. That afternoon drops to 5ft, and the whole vibe is “marginal.” Wednesday and Thursday are even worse, with building onshore winds and rain. Thursday the 30th sees a strong breeze from the NNE at 28 mph, making a mess of the 8ft WNW swell. That’s a no-go.

But hold on. Friday the 31st morning is where it starts to turn. We get a clean, cross-off wind from the S at 3 mph, with a 6ft W swell and solid energy (1039). The conditions are excellent for experienced surfers. That’s a good sign. Saturday morning August 1st is a bit more cross, but still a 6ft SW swell with a 12-second period, and the energy is up there (1148). Not a standout, but it’s rideable.

Now, the real gold is in the second week. Monday August 3rd morning is glassy – completely calm – with a 5ft WNW swell (570 energy). That’s a beautiful setup for a point break. Then Monday afternoon gets even better: clean, cross-off wind, 6ft WSW swell, and energy jumping to 1130. Tuesday August 4th morning is a similar story: 7ft WSW, 13-second period, clean cross-off. That’s top-tier.

But the absolute standout, the one you wait for, is Wednesday August 5th morning. Offshore wind from the SSE at 9 mph, a 8ft WSW swell with a 15-second period – that’s proper groundswell – and the energy is a massive 2651. It’s going to be clean, powerful, and perfect for a point break like this. This is expert-level stuff. Thursday August 6th is even bigger, with an 12ft WSW swell and 13-second period, energy hitting 3907, and light offshore winds. That’s huge, and only for the experienced. Friday August 7th morning is the peak: 13ft WSW, 14-second period, offshore, energy at 5837. That’s exceptional, but it’s for experts only. Too big for anyone else.

After that, the wind turns onshore from the 8th onwards, and the quality drops off fast. The weekend of the 9th and 10th is lumpy and choppy, with lighter swells. The 11th and 12th are poor, with onshore winds and small, weak waves.

So, the best of the best? Without a doubt, Wednesday August 5th morning through Friday August 7th. That’s the window. Clean, offshore, big groundswell, and a point break that will handle it beautifully. The 5th and 6th are the highlights for experienced surfers. The 7th is for the brave. Don’t bother with the first week.

Rusty, signing off.
