The Lowdown
Alright, folks, lookin' at the full picture for Mizata over the next couple weeks. We got a bit of a slow start, then one proper gem, and then some choppy stuff to finish.
The first few days are a bit of a washout. Sunday the 13th has a weak 2ft slop with a southerly breeze – not worth the walk. Monday the 14th cleans up with a glassy 2ft, but it's just tiny. You're gonna be doing more paddling than surfing.
Then things start to rouse. Tuesday the 15th morning has a clean 3ft with that SSW direction, and you can feel the energy starting to build (568). But the real standout, the one you wait for, is Wednesday the 16th. Glassy, 5ft of SSW swell, and the energy meter jumps right up to a solid 912. That's the day. The period is 16 seconds, so there's some real push behind it, and with no wind in the morning, it'll be as clean as a button. That's the one.
Thursday the 17th is still fun – glassy 4ft – but the energy backs off a touch. Friday the 18th drops to 2ft but stays glassy with a long 20-second period, so it's still got some glide for a longboard.
After that, it gets messy. The weekend and early next week see the swell bounce between 3ft and 4ft, but the wind turns foul – cross-onshore, and Monday the 21st is a write-off with a moderate breeze and storm threats. Tuesday the 22nd gives a brief glassy 3ft morning, which is a nice little window, but then it goes lumpy again with increasing winds and thunderstorm risk from the 23rd through the 26th. That stretch is more hassle than it's worth.
There's a flicker at the end, though. Sunday the 27th sees an offshore breeze and a clean 3ft SW swell. It's not big, but it'll be tidy and fun. The period's dropped to 12 seconds by then, so it's more of a local wind swell, but still rideable.
So, the short version: Wednesday the 16th is your standout – biggest, cleanest, most energy. Thursday the 17th and Tuesday the 22nd mornings are decent too. Everything else is either too small, too windy, or just messy. Mizata is a consistent break, so it won't stay poor for long, but this window has one clear winner.
Water's a balmy 86°, which is nearly a degree warmer than usual for this time of year – boardshorts and a rashie, mate, that's all you need.

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