Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Alright, let’s get into it. The forecast kicks off now, and we’ve got some solid waves on the way. The first good surf is Sunday morning, with a 6ft SSW swell, but conditions are questionable due to a slight onshore wind; it’s not the cleanest start. The real standouts come from Sunday afternoon through Tuesday morning.
Sunday afternoon the glassy conditions arrive – 5ft SSW swell with glassy wind, clean lines, excellent for experienced surfers. The water temp here is 84°F, pretty average for this time of year. The combined energy is solid at 1332 (moderate to strong). Monday morning keeps that glassy vibe with a 4ft SSW swell, 13-second period, and excellent conditions – a great window for intermediate crew. Tuesday morning also brings glassy winds and a 4ft SSW swell with a longer 16-second period; that groundswell will wrap in nicely, and the wave shape should be top-notch.
The best of the whole run? Tuesday the 14th morning at Cimaja (a reef break in Cimaja). You’ve got a 6ft SSW swell, 16-second period, glassy conditions, and the wind is slight air. Combined energy is pumping at 1861 – that’s strong energy. The direction is SSW, right in the optimum window for this spot. This is a proper groundswell; long-period sets will hold their shape well here. Crowds are sometimes present, so you might have a few others, but the quality makes it worth it. This is the pick of the fortnight.
Later in the week: Wednesday the 15th morning has cross-shore winds, a 6ft SSW swell with a 17-second period, but it’s not as clean as the standout days. Thursday the 16th morning returns to glassy with 5ft SSW swell – decent but not special. The second week tails off: from Friday the 17th into the 20th, the swell drops below 5ft and winds turn more cross or cross-on. The 18th has a 3ft SW swell, and by Monday the 20th afternoon it’s messy with 15 mph cross-shore winds and poor surf. There’s a potential on the 19th Sunday morning with 5ft SSW swell and 15-second period, but cross-shore winds hold it back. Still, with consistent 14-17 second periods in many sessions, the energy is there; it’s just the wind that’s the hurdle.
Overall, the first week delivers the best conditions. Sunday the 5th through Tuesday the 14th are your go-to windows, with Tuesday the 14th morning being the absolute standout.

Information about the Cimaja Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Cimaja provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Cimaja can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Cimaja surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Cimaja) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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.
