The Lowdown
Alright, let's get into it for Cordama. Honestly, the next two weeks are looking pretty bleak. The water temp is about what you'd expect for the time of year, nothing special to report.
We've got a big gap of nothing until the 9th of August. That Sunday morning is the only real glimmer of hope. There's a solid 5ft swell coming from the NW with a nice 11-second period, which is proper groundswell. The energy is strong (789). The wind is from the NNW at 9 mph, which is cross-on, so it'll be a bit choppy. It's a good size for the average surfer, but beginners might be out of their depth. The swell direction is close to the optimum for this spot, so it should break okay.
Sunday afternoon the swell bumps up to 6ft, but the wind swings more onshore and picks up to 16 mph, so it's going to get messy. The energy is still strong (625), but the wind is going to ruin it.
From the 10th to the 13th, the swell stays in the 4ft to 6ft range, but the wind is a constant cross-on mess from the NNW, blowing 16 to 28 mph. When it's that messy and strong, you're better off leaving the surfboard at home and rigging up a kite. The energy is moderate to strong, but the conditions are just too poor for a clean wave.
The 14th and 15th of August are a total write-off. The energy drops into the weak zone, and you're looking at tiny, 2ft to 3ft waves with a short period. The 15th has a cross-shore wind from the NNE, but with a 2ft wave and a 5-second period, there's just nothing to ride.
So, the only window I'd even bother with is the morning of the 9th of August. It's a one-off, and it's not perfect, but it's all we've got. The rest of the time, it's a waiting game. This is a tough run for the area, but it won't stay this way forever. Keep your eye on the charts.

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.
