Right, I've looked at what's on offer for Menakoz over the next couple of weeks, and to be honest, it's a pretty grim picture for a while. We've got a real flat spell kicking things off.
First up, the water is sitting at a very unusual 74°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year. That's a bit of a head-scratcher.
From the 6th of July right through to the morning of the 11th, it's pretty much a write-off. Swell is tiny, mostly around 1 ft to 2 ft, coming from the NW. The wind... well, it's often cross-on or onshore, and even when it's glassy on the Friday morning, there's just no energy in the water to make anything of it. That's a solid 5-day gap with nothing worthwhile.
Things start to look a little more promising on the morning of Saturday the 11th. There's a bit of combined energy peeping through (114), and the swell is coming from the NW at 2 ft with a period of 12 seconds. The wind is a light cross-off from the east, which will keep things clean. It's not going to be pumping, but it'll be surfable. The crowd situation here is something to keep in mind; it often gets busy, so you might have some company for these small, clean waves.
After that, it drops right back off again into tiny, weak surf for another week, with a few poor conditions thrown in.
The next little blip comes on the morning of Sunday the 19th. Swell is picking up to 4 ft from the NW, still with a short period around 9 seconds, and combined energy is up to 197. The wind looks promising with a light offshore from the NNW. It's not clean according to the report, but that offshore wind is a massive positive. The wave size is fine for most, but with that short period, it'll be a bit crumbly.
The only real standout in this entire 16-day window is the morning of Monday the 20th. Swell is holding at 4 ft from the NW, and combined energy is moderate at 141. The wind turns cross-off from the east, which should give us some clean, peelable faces. This is the best bet we've got. It's not a classic Menakoz day, but it's the best of a flat bunch.
For the rest of the run into the 21st, we're back to onshore or cross-on winds and rising combined energy that just doesn't line up with good conditions. It's a tough outlook for the reef.

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.
