Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Hey, Rusty here. I've had a good look at the 16-day window from July 5 for Cogumelo, and I gotta be straight with you – there's nothing worth paddling out for. This break is usually fairly consistent, but this forecast is a total dud. The water's sitting around 68°, pretty average for this time of year, but that's about the only thing that's normal.
From July 5 right through to July 20, it's almost all poor surf conditions. Winds are mostly cross-on or onshore, often moderate to fresh, and the swell is tiny – mostly under 3ft – with short, weak periods. A few days like July 12 and 13 show a bit more energy (combined energy around 175-197), but the wind is rubbish, so the waves are chopped up and messy.
The only remotely surfable slot is the morning of July 18. Winds turn clean and cross-off from the NNE at 6 mph, and there's 3ft of swell from the NNW. But it's only 5 seconds – super short period – so it'll be weak and crumbly, more of a longboard or funboard session if you're desperate. The combined energy is just 81, weak stuff. Still, it's the best of a bad bunch.
Other than that, the whole period is a write-off. You'd be wasting your time. But hey, at this spot it tends not to stay poor for long, and forecasts can change – so don't bin your board just yet.
– Rusty

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.
