The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let me look at what’s coming down the line for the next couple of weeks.
We’ve got a bit of a slow start, but there are some windows of clean conditions at Mompiche. The first real chance to get wet comes on Tuesday the 15th in the morning. It’s small at 2ft from the WSW, but with a 17-second period that's a long-period groundswell. The wind is light southwesterly and cross-offshore, making for clean surf. The combined energy is moderate (282). It’s not going to be pumping, but for a small-wave board, it’ll be worth a paddle.
The standout of the first week is Thursday the 17th in the morning. The swell is a touch smaller at 2ft from the SW, but the wind is a clean cross-offshore at 9 mph from the SSW, giving you that nice, groomed face. The combined energy is moderate (242). For a wave of this size, the conditions are mint.
Looking further ahead, Saturday the 28th and Sunday the 29th see a noticeable bump in energy. On Monday the 28th morning, the swell is up to 4ft from the WNW with a 12-second period. The combined energy jumps up to 577, which is moderate but on the stronger side. However, the wind is light and cross-shore, which will keep things textured. That’s a promising day, but it’s over a week away, so treat it as a solid maybe.
For the rest of the stretch, there are mornings of clean, small surf (1ft to 2ft) with cross-offshore winds, but nothing that’ll have you calling in sick. Afternoons generally get a cross or cross-onshore breeze that chops things up.
The water is about average for this time of year.
Rusty, out.

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