The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down Mompiche for the next couple of weeks. It’s gonna be a slow start, but we’ve got a few gems hidden in there.
Right now, through Sunday the 20th, it’s flat as a pancake. Tiny waves, weak energy, and winds that are all over the place – not worth the paddle. The first time you might get something rideable is Wednesday morning, the 22nd, and even then it’s just a marginal one. Small swell and a bit of chop.
The first real standout hits on Friday morning, the 24th. We’re looking at a clean 3ft southwest swell with moderate energy coming in at 324. The wind is a gentle cross-off, so the surface should be nice and clean. It’s not huge, but it’s the first real chance to get a wave.
Now, listen up. The session to circle on your calendar is Saturday morning, the 25th. The wind goes glassy – dead calm – out of the west-northwest. We’ve got a 2ft southwest groundswell with a very long 19-second period, and the energy is solid at 496. That’s a proper long-period groundswell hitting a point break, and it’s gonna be some of the cleanest, most lined-up waves you’ll see. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there. Crowds are possible, so stake your claim early.
Looking ahead, the swell picks up a bit. Monday morning, the 28th, is looking clean with a 3ft southwest swell and a light cross-off breeze. The energy is strong at 686. That’s a great session. Then Wednesday, the 30th of July, offers another clean morning with a 4ft southwest swell, a gentle cross-off wind, and an energy of 443. It’s a solid option.
The second week is a bit more of a gamble, but the morning of Saturday, August 1st could offer a quiet, clean little session with a 2ft west-southwest swell and a light cross-off breeze. And Sunday, August 2nd morning looks similar, with a 3ft west-southwest swell and clean conditions. Both are worth a look if you're hanging around.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
