Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Oi, Rusty here. Let's have a look at the wave outlook for Cogumelo.
Honestly, it's a pretty bleak run ahead. The first two weeks of the forecast are a write-off with nothing but "poor surf conditions" showing up day after day, session after session. There's a long gap of over two weeks with no real surf on offer here. The water temp is sitting at 68°, which is pretty much normal for this time of year, so at least you won't freeze waiting.
We finally get a tiny glimmer of hope on Saturday, July 19th during the morning. It's not a standout by any means, but after all that flatness, it's the only thing worth mentioning. The wind goes glassy, which is a rare treat and a major positive for clean conditions. The swell is 4ft from the NW with a period of 8 seconds. The combined wave energy is moderate (179). It’s an exposed spot, so it’ll pick up that NW groundswell, but the direction is cross-on from the WSW so it won't be perfection. Still, glassy conditions make even ordinary waves feel better.
Given the long stretch of nothing, this is the only window. The rest of the period stays messy with cross-on winds and choppy conditions, so if you're keen, pencil in that Saturday morning for a quiet paddle.

Information about the Cogumelo Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Cogumelo provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Cogumelo can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Cogumelo 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 (Cogumelo) 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 Cogumelo 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.
