Alright folks, Rusty here with the long-range look for this spot. Right off the bat, let's get real: this is a tale of two very different weeks. The first few days offer some real potential, but then we hit a massive dry spell that stretches for *days* with nothing worthwhile.
We kick things off with a bit of life in the water on Friday the 3rd of July. Cordama is showing a clean 3.9ft NW swell with a moderate 9-second period. The ESE wind is blowing offshore at 15 mph, keeping things tidy. The combined energy is a moderate 237, and the water temp sits at 67.3°F, which is pretty standard for the time of year. It's the clear standout of the whole forecast – a proper afternoon session.
After that, things drop off quick. Saturday the 4th has a tiny 2.0ft swell, but the afternoon goes glassy with an offshore breeze, so if you're desperate for a longboard, you might get a few ankle-biters. The energy is weak at 124. From Sunday the 5th onwards, it's pretty grim. The swell disappears into the 1.0ft range for days. The wind stays clean or light at times, but there's just no power behind it. Energy readings drop into the 20s and 30s – that's barely a ripple.
Then, around the 11th and 12th of July, the swell tries to kick back up, but the wind completely ruins it. By Saturday the 11th, we've got 4.6ft of NW swell but a screaming 22 mph cross-onshore wind. The energy climbs to a moderate 190, but it's a mushy, lumpy mess. This trend gets worse. On Sunday the 12th, it's 5.2ft to 6.2ft, with energy jumping up to a strong 494 and 582. But again, it's hammered by a strong cross-onshore breeze. For a beach setup, this is a kite-fishing kind of day, not a paddle-surfing day. By Monday the 13th, the swell peaks at 6.6ft with a strong energy reading of 775, but it's still cross-onshore and lumpy. That size is for experienced surfers only, but the conditions are far from inviting.
After that, the second week fades again into small, weak, and wind-affected junk, with energy readings mostly below 100. Honestly, the best waves are on Friday afternoon the 3rd. If you only have one chance to get wet, make it then. The rest of the 16-day window is a write-off.

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