Alright, let’s break it down. It’s been a slow start, but there’s some action brewing for Explosivos (sandbar) . Monday morning, the 6th of July, kicks off with a 5.6 ft swell out of the SSW, carrying a long period of 17 seconds – that’s groundswell with proper push. The water’s at 69.8°F, which is 6.8°F warmer than normal – very unusual for this time of year, so leave the thick suit at home. The combined energy is 2031 (moderate-strong), but the surf is marginal – light offshore wind from the WSW at 3 mph, though the conditions aren’t clean. Monday afternoon stays similar, 5.6 ft and 16 second period, but wind goes SW at 6 mph, cross-onshore – puts a little rumple on the face.

Tuesday the 7th of July drops to 4.9 ft from the SSW at 16 seconds – still a long-period groundswell, energy at 1351 (moderate). Morning wind is light offshore from the W at 6 mph, but it’s marginal. By afternoon, wind comes SSW at 6 mph, cross-onshore, and the swell slips to 4.6 ft. Nothing special.

Wednesday the 8th of July sees the swell shrink to 3.9 ft from the SSW at 15 seconds, energy down to 685 (weak). Light cross-onshore wind all day. Small and junky. Thursday the 9th of July and Friday the 10th of July hover around 3.9-4.6 ft – same light cross-onshore breeze, same marginal story. Scores are low.

Saturday the 11th of July and Sunday the 12th of July keep it small: 3.9-4.3 ft, SSW, periods dropping to 13 seconds, energy under 900. Light cross-onshore or some clouds. Not worth the walk.

Monday the 13th of July through Wednesday the 15th of July – the swell stays tiny, 3.6-4.6 ft, period between 13-15 seconds, energy sliding from 925 down to 440 by Wednesday. Winds are still light cross-onshore. It’s a flat stretch.

Thursday the 16th of July turns ugly – 3.3 ft from the SSW at 12 seconds, energy a weak 333, and the wind picks up from the S at 9 mph, cross-onshore, making it choppy. Poor conditions, score of 0. Don’t bother.

But Friday the 17th of July stirs things up. Friday morning: 2.6 ft swell but with a very long period of 23 seconds and energy 1232 (moderate). That’s a weird combo – small height, huge period – expect long lulls and sudden sets. Wind is light S at 6 mph, cross-onshore. By Friday afternoon, the swell jumps to 6.2 ft from the SSW at 20 seconds – energy rockets to 3647 (strong). But the wind goes S at 9 mph, cross-onshore and fairly choppy. Big and powerful, but messy.

Now, Saturday the 18th of July is the big one – but only for experts. Swell hits 9.8 ft from the SSW at 18 seconds, energy at 5602 (very strong). Wind is light SSW at 6 mph, cross-onshore. But it’s simply too big for the break – the report says the swell is predicted to be too

Information about the Explosivos Surf forecast

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

Explosibles is 34 km (21 miles) from the very large city of Mala. If you plan a holiday in Lima, look for hotels and other accommodation in Mala. Mala has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as cheap car hire and transport links.
