Table - best surf conditions forecast for Menakoz over the next 16 days.
Alright, I’m looking at the next 16 days here. Straight up, I gotta be honest with you – this is a pretty grim stretch for Menakoz. It’s a tough run, and for a spot that’s an expert-only reef break, you’re gonna need a lot more than what’s on offer.
The whole period is basically a flat spell. We’ve got tiny little knee-high slop for the first week and a half, with weak windswell energy that barely registers. The water temp is a wild 74°F, which is a massive 6°F warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s really unusual, feels like a different season.
The one and only real chance to wet a line comes right at the end. On Friday the 24th of July, the swell finally bumps up to 6 ft from the NW, with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy reads 423 (moderate wave energy), so there’s finally some push. But here’s the catch – the wind is onshore (NNW at 12 mph later), and it’s cross-on all morning, so it’s gonna be choppy and messy. For a steep, expert reef like Menakoz, that’s not ideal. It’s big enough to be fun for a strong surfer, but it won’t be pretty. The early morning might be the best bet with lighter winds, but it’s still not clean.
Honestly, there’s nothing here that’s a standout. The whole 16-day window is a write-off for quality surf. For a spot that’s rated as ‘fairly consistent’, this is a disappointing run. It’s the kind of stretch where you’d be better off checking the forecast for a different spot or just taking a break.
Stay patient, mate. The ocean will come good again.

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