Menakoz Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, this is Rusty. Let's have a proper look at what's on offer for the local stretch here. We've only got one spot in the mix, and it's a proper reef set-up that takes a bit of savvy. The water's sitting about a touch warmer than normal for the time of year at 72°, so that's a nice little bonus.

Right off the bat, the first few days are pretty quiet. We're looking at Monday the 7th with a glassy morning and a long-period 1.6 ft NW groundswell, but the energy is weak, and honestly, it's not really doing much. That morning window is the only real nod to anything rideable, and it's tiny. After that, we drift into a few days of very ordinary conditions with onshore winds messing things up.

Thursday the 10th morning is where things start to perk up a bit. We get glassy conditions again and a cleaner 4.3 ft swell from the NNW with moderate energy (340). It's a notable improvement. Friday the 11th is super clean again but the swell drops right back to 2.0 ft and barely any energy (73) – a bit of a tease.

Now, hold onto your board. Sunday the 13th morning is a real standout. We're talking glassy conditions, a solid 3.6 ft NNW groundswell with a period of 13 seconds, and serious energy building to 543. The water's clean and that long-period groundswell will wrap nicely into that reef. It's going to be a proper session, but expect company – this spot can get crowded often.

Monday the 14th morning carries that energy on with a clean 4.6 ft NNW swell (554 energy), cross-off wind, and a 12-second period – another top-tier window. Then Tuesday the 15th is smaller and more ordinary.

We have a bit of a lull before the next big pulse. Wednesday the 16th brings some size but the wind goes cross-on and choppy, so it's messy.

The real heavy-hitter is looking like Sunday the 20th morning. We've got a clean, cross-off wind again, a 5.2 ft NW swell with a 12-second period, and energy jumping to 819. That's some serious grunt for the reef, and the conditions look excellent. This is the second standout.

But the absolute best on offer? That has to be Monday the 21st morning. Glassy. A 6.6 ft NNW groundswell with a 12-second period and energy rocketing to 1246. That's proper, powerful swell. That reef is going to be firing. For experts only at that size – it'll be a big, heavy wave. This is the one to circle in the diary.

So, to sum up: it's a slow start, but the second week has two absolute crackers. Sunday the 20th morning and Monday the 21st morning are your prime calls. The swell on the 21st will be big and strong, so only for those who know what they're doing. The conditions are set to be clean, and the reef will handle that long-period groundswell beautifully.
