Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's break down the next couple of weeks at this break. It's gonna be a slow grind with a couple of sweet spots.

The overall picture is a long stretch of surf coming through, but most of it is just average. The water's sitting at 70° right now, which is a good 7° warmer than what's normal for this time of year, so you'll definitely notice that when you jump in.

We start on Thursday, July 2nd, but it's a bit messy. Swell is around 6ft from the SSW, a long-period groundswell at 15 seconds, with a ton of energy behind it (1839). The problem is the wind is cross-on from the S, so it'll be choppy. Not the best way to kick things off.

Friday the 3rd is more of the same, dropping swell and cross-on winds. We're waiting for the real window.

That window opens on Saturday, July 4th. This is the pick of the whole run. We get glassy conditions in the morning with a clean 4ft swell from the SSW. The energy is moderate at 850, but the lack of wind is the big win. This is the day to get wet – clean, rideable waves at Explosivos. It's a consistent spot, so you won't be waiting forever, but it can get crowded sometimes, so roll up early.

Sunday the 5th is interesting. A very long-period swell at 20 seconds pushing 4ft from the SW, with offshore wind from the WSW in the morning. That's a rare combo. Energy is high at 1582, but with that period, the waves might be too lined-up and fat for a sandbar break. It could work, but it could also be a handful.

From Monday the 6th to Wednesday the 8th, the swell hangs in the 4ft to 6ft range, but the wind is mostly cross-on or unknown, keeping it marginal. Nothing to get excited about.

Thursday the 9th and Friday the 10th fade off, with swell dropping to 4ft to 5ft, and average conditions with cross-on breezes. Energy drops hard after that, and by Saturday the 11th, we've got poor surf and choppy winds. Skip it.

The middle of the second week, from Sunday the 12th to Tuesday the 14th, is flat and poor. Swell drops below 3ft, and energy is weak. A dead spell.

There's a tiny bump on Wednesday the 15th of July, but it's small and cross-shore. Not worth a look.

Now, keep your eyes on Friday, July 17th. This is a long-range call, so less certain, but the morning is showing glassy conditions again with a 3ft SSW groundswell at 16 seconds. Energy is moderate at 746, and with offshore winds, this could clean up into something really fun. It's a promising end to the run, but don't count your chickens yet.

So, the standout is absolutely Saturday, July 4th in the morning for the cleanest, most user-friendly waves. Sunday the 5th is a wildcard for the longer-period stuff. And that Friday the 17th is one to watch if you're planning ahead.

Rusty.

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.
