The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty checkin' in from Cimaja.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you. For a spot that's usually pumping, this forecast is a bit of a tease. The next week and a half is looking pretty average. The swell is there, but it's coming in with a bunch of cross-onshore junk that's gonna make things messy. The water is sitting at about 78°, which is a touch cooler than we're used to for this time of year.
Let's start with what's on offer. From Sunday the 13th right through to the 21st, we've got a solid SW groundswell running, with periods hanging around 14 to 16 seconds, so the energy is there. But the problem is the wind. Most sessions are spoiled by a light breeze from the SSE or S, putting a crinkle on the face. At 7ft on Sunday morning it's got some size (moderate to strong energy at 2664) but that onshore wind from the SW is just gonna hold it open and make it lumpy. Not our finest hour.
The first real standout doesn't come until Sunday the 20th in the afternoon. The wind finally drops to glassy, we've got a 6ft SW swell with a 16-second period, and the combined energy is still pumping at 1706. That is the window to be in the water. It's still got enough push to be fun, but it'll be clean. Then again on Tuesday the 22nd, the morning looks like it could be a repeat performance – glassy conditions with a 4ft SSW swell, but that's a bit smaller, so the 20th is the better bet.
Now, lookin' way out to the end of the forecast, things get proper interesting. On Sunday the 27th, we see a monster pulse of SW swell at 8ft, period blowing out to 20 seconds and the energy is off the charts at 5117. That is a *big* groundswell. For a reef like Cimaja, that long period is going to mean some seriously long, grinding walls, but it'll be heavy. That's only for the experienced crew. Monday the 28th afternoon might clean up again with glassy winds and a still-solid 8ft SW swell (2643 energy). It's a promising end to the run, but it's a long way out, so don't book your flights just yet.
For the average surfer, your best bet is to hold out for that glassy Sunday afternoon on the 20th. For the experts, keep an eye on the 27th and 28th, but know that kind of size and period is not for everyone.
Rusty.

Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Cimaja may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
