Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Cogumelo over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a bit of a slow start. The first solid chance to get wet doesn’t roll in until Friday morning, July 3rd. That’s the one real standout in the whole window. We’ve got a clean 4ft swell rolling in from the NW with a 9-second period, and the wind is dead glassy. The water’s sitting at 67°, which is about average for this time of year. The combined energy of the swell is moderate at 221. It’s going to be a nice, clean session, but you’ll want to get on it early because the crowds are likely to be there.
After that, it’s a proper drought. From Friday afternoon right through to the morning of Wednesday, July 15th, we’re looking at a string of days with next to nothing. The swell drops right off, the wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and the surf quality is just poor. You’re better off staying home and waxing your board.
Come Wednesday, July 15th, things start to flicker back to life. The morning shows a 3ft NW swell with glassy conditions, but the combined energy is moderate at 155 and the quality is just “ordinary”. It’s surfable, but nothing to write home about.
Then, the second week starts to build some energy, but it’s not for the faint-hearted. By Friday, July 17th, we’re looking at a 5ft NW swell in the morning, and by the afternoon it’s pushing 7ft. That’s getting into expert-only territory, especially with onshore wind. The combined energy jumps to 459.
The real beast shows up on Saturday, July 18th. The morning sees a 8ft NW swell, and by the afternoon it’s up to 8ft with a combined energy of 1175. That’s a serious amount of water moving around. The wind is cross-on in the morning and onshore by the afternoon, so it’s going to be a messy, powerful beast. This is for seasoned big-wave hounds only, and honestly, with that onshore wind, it might be more interesting for the kite surfers than paddle surfers.
So, to wrap it up: your best bet is the morning of Friday, July 3rd. Get it while it’s clean. The rest of the first week is a write-off, and the second week offers big, messy swell that’s only for the brave.

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.
