Mizata Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here with a good look at what’s shaping up for the Mizata region over the next couple of weeks. We’ve got a solid run of surf on offer, but patience is the name of the game for the first few days—small, clean waves that’ll suit the longboard and the beginners.

Right out of the gate, Friday morning, July 17, we’ve got a clean 3ft SSW swell, period of 14 seconds, with a light cross-offshore breeze from the NE. The water is a warm 85°, which is right about average for this time of year. Combined energy is moderate (395). It’s not big but it’s tidy—great for getting a feel for the point.

Saturday and Sunday mornings follow a similar pattern through the 18th and 19th: continued 3ft to 2ft SSW swell. Saturday stays clean under a NE cross-off, but the real treat comes Sunday morning, July 19, when the wind goes glassy from the SSE, and the period jumps to 19 seconds. That long-period groundswell energy will wrap nicely around the point at Mizata, offering up clean, lined-up waves. Combined energy is still moderate (429). This is a good window for cruisy, fun waves.

Then we roll into Monday morning, July 20. This is when things get interesting. The swell holds at 2.5ft from the SSW, but the period is 16 seconds and the combined energy bumps up to 504—moderate but punchy. What makes Monday the first standout is the glassy conditions from an ESE breeze. This is about as good as it gets for the size—clean, long-period lines reeling down the point. Conditions are excellent.

Tuesday and Wednesday mornings on the 21st and 22nd offer more of the same in terms of clean conditions, though the swell drops slightly to 2.3ft and the energy dips. Still fun, but Monday was the highlight of the first week.

Now, after a bit of a lull on Thursday morning, July 23, with weak 1.5ft swell and energy down to 102, we hit a real standout window starting Friday morning, July 24. This is where the swell kicks into gear. We get a 3ft SSW groundswell with a very long 24-second period. That long period means these waves will have serious push and shape, perfect for the point at Mizata. The combined energy jumps to 1009—solid moderate-to-strong. Best of all? Glassy conditions with a light SW breeze. This is the best morning of the entire run so far. It’s not huge, but that period makes every wave count. Get on it.

Saturday morning, July 25, the swell builds a touch more to 3.5ft from the SSW, with a 21-second period. Combined energy now hits 1452—strong. Glassy conditions again from the SSE. This is another prime morning. By Sunday the 26th, it’s up to 4ft with 19-second period, still glassy on the morning, energy at 1239. But by now the size is starting to creep up, so it’s less for beginners and more for the intermediate crowd.

Monday morning, July 27, the swell reaches 5ft, period at 18 seconds, combined energy strong at 1599. Glassy conditions from the east. This is a serious morning for experienced surfers. The point at Mizata will handle this size well with that long-period groundswell, offering long, well-shaped rides. The crowds are sometimes an issue here, but on a Monday morning, you might have some room.

Tuesday morning, July 28, holds at 5ft SSW, 18-second period, and energy stays high at 1675, but the wind turns cross-on from the SE. It’s still surfable—better for the more experienced—but not as clean as Monday.

Wednesday morning, July 29, gives us another glassy morning with 5ft SSW, 16-second period, and energy at 1116. Another excellent option for experienced surfers, with clean conditions from a calm NNE breeze.

After that, the swell fades through the end of July and into August. Thursday the 30th and Friday the 31st offer clean, smaller waves in the 3.5ft to 4ft range, glassy mornings, but the energy drops off. Good for the longboard or a fun morning session, but not a standout. Saturday, August 1, stays small and clean, and the window closes out with small, weak surf from there.

So, the two true standouts: Monday morning, July 20, for the clean, glassy long-period 2.5ft SSW swell, and Friday morning, July 24, for the 3ft, 24-second groundswell also under glassy conditions. Those are the mornings to circle on the calendar. The swell stays solid through the end of the month, but those two days offer the best combo of size, period, and wind.

Stay stoked.
