Cordoama Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break it down.

Right off the bat, the outlook for Cordoama is a bit of a mixed bag. The coming days are mostly a write-off with poor conditions, but there’s a couple of windows that look promising if you're patient. The water temp is sitting at 67°F, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year.

Things start slow. Tuesday the 11th through to Saturday the 15th is pretty grim. Swell is small and wind is cross-on or onshore, making for messy, choppy surf. The energy is weak to moderate at best, with the combined swell energy sitting around 71 to 540. Not worth paddling out.

Sunday the 16th morning sees a jump in swell to 7ft from the NW, with a 9-second period and light offshore wind from the NNW. The combined energy is a solid 683 (moderate), but the file notes it might be too big for this break. Still, if you’re an experienced surfer, this could be a window worth checking. The morning wind is light and offshore, which is a major positive for clean waves. But be aware, crowds are possible here.

Monday the 17th is the real standout. The morning has clean conditions with a 6ft NW swell, 9-second period, and light offshore wind from the SE. The combined energy is 501 (moderate). This is the best on offer in the entire outlook – clean, well-shaped, and not too big. The afternoon is still decent with a 5ft swell and cross-offshore wind, but the morning is the pick.

Tuesday the 18th is still okay but not as clean. Swell drops to 5ft from the NNW, with light cross-offshore winds. It’s surfable, but nothing special.

From Wednesday the 19th onwards, conditions deteriorate again. The swell builds through the 20th and into the 21st, hitting 8ft on the 21st, but the wind turns onshore and cross-on, making it lumpy and messy. The combined energy climbs to 1393 (strong) on the 21st, but the wind is poor. This is only for experts, and even then, it’s not clean.

There’s a long gap with no good recommendations from the 19th through to the 24th. The wind stays onshore or cross-on, and the surf is mostly blown out.

Finally, on Tuesday the 25th morning, we get another window. The wind goes glassy from the east at just 3 mph, with a 6ft NW swell and a 10-second period. The combined energy is 612 (moderate). This is the second standout – glassy conditions, clean waves, and a solid swell. The longer period (10 seconds) means better shaped waves and longer gaps between sets. This is a good one for experienced surfers, but the size (6ft) is manageable for intermediates too.

In short: the best surf is Monday the 17th morning, followed by Tuesday the 25th morning. The rest of the period is mostly poor or too big with bad wind.

Stay patient, keep an eye on the wind, and I’ll see you out there.

Rusty.
