Mariatos Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s talk about Mariatos. It’s a reef break, fairly consistent, and the swell’s coming from the south, which is its best direction. That’s a good start.

We’ve got a bit of a lull before things get interesting. The first proper surf window kicks off Sunday the 13th. It’s not huge – a clean 2ft swell from the SW with a 13-second period. The water temp is about average for this time of year. It’s glassy in the morning, but with a risk of thunderstorms. The combined energy is moderate (283), so it’s a fun, manageable size.

Monday the 14th is tiny, only 1ft in the morning, but it’s dead calm and glassy. The swell period is a very long 19 seconds – that’s proper groundswell, so the reef will clean it right up. It’ll be small but super clean.

The real standout arrives Tuesday the 15th. The afternoon session is the one to chase: 3ft from the SSW, with an 18-second period. The wind is glassy, and the combined energy jumps to a moderate 630. It’s going to be clean, with long lines wrapping into the reef. This is the best on offer in the first week – a real glassy gem.

Wednesday the 16th and Thursday the 17th keep the good vibes going with 3ft to 4ft swells, mostly glassy or clean, with periods around 14-16 seconds. The energy stays moderate (537-656). It’s solid, rideable surf.

After that, we get into a bit of a mixed bag. The mornings from Friday the 18th through Monday the 21st are often glassy, with 3ft to 3ft swells, but the afternoons get messy with cross-onshore wind. There’s a gap of a few days mid-week where the wind and conditions are a bit rough, but Tuesday the 22nd and Wednesday the 23rd are mostly poor or marginal, so don’t get too excited.

Then on Thursday the 24th, the swell bumps up to 5ft but the period drops to a short 7 seconds. It’s cross-on and choppy – not great for paddling, more of a kite session if anything.

But hold on – Friday the 25th morning is a big call. We’ve got a 7ft swell from the SW, period still short at 7 seconds, but the wind is glassy. The combined energy is a strong 883. This is a punchy, powerful swell. At 7ft, it’s getting into the expert-only territory for this reef. It’s not a beginner wave. If you’re skilled, this is the standout of the entire 16-day window – a real freight train on the reef with perfect glass.

After that, the swell drops back to 3ft to 4ft through the weekend of the 27th and 28th, with glassy mornings. It’s a solid finish to the run, but nothing tops that Friday morning.

So, bottom line: Tuesday the 15th afternoon is your clean, long-period standout. But if you’ve got the skill, Friday the 25th morning is the big, glassy beast to aim for.
