Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with ya – we’ve got a grim run ahead for Copacabana. Over the next 16 days, it’s pretty much a flat spell with nothing worth paddling out for. The first real chance of anything surfable is a fleeting moment on Monday morning July 6th, with a tiny 2ft swell from the northwest, period around 9 seconds, and combined wave energy of just 72 – that’s weak. Winds are cross-off from the ENE at 9 mph, keeping the surface clean, but the waves are small, ordinary, and hardly enough to get excited about. After that, it’s a long dry stretch.
The water temp is sitting at 71°, which is a solid 4° above normal – very warm for this time of year. But that’s about the only standout.
From Monday afternoon July 6th right through to the end of the forecast on Tuesday July 21st, it’s all poor surf conditions, with swell heights dropping to less than 1ft in some spots, short periods often under 8 seconds, and energy readings barely cracking 100 – most days below 50. Winds are mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and often moderate to strong, especially towards the end when we see strong breezes over 25 mph wrapping up the period. There’s a bit of glassy conditions on Thursday morning July 16th, but with only 1ft of swell and period at 7 seconds, it’s flat and lifeless.
Honestly, there’s no standout session here. The one small window on Monday morning July 6th is your best bet – but only if you’re desperate for a splash on a knee-high wave. If you’re after anything properly rideable, you’re waiting a long time. Forecasts can always change, but for now, this stretch is a write-off.
Rusty.

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