Mompiche Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Mompiche over the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, the next few days are a bit of a write-off. We’ve got a small, weak swell and cross-shore or cross-onshore winds messing things up. The first real glimmer of hope comes on Tuesday, August 11th. The morning session is looking clean with a light cross-offshore breeze from the SSW, and a small but tidy 2 ft swell from the southwest. The wave energy is moderate (228), and that 14-second period means there’s some proper groundswell in the mix. This is a point break, so that long period should set up nicely. It’s a standout for the first week, but don’t expect a big crowd – this spot can get a few people, but it’s not a zoo.

The next real highlight is Saturday, August 15th morning. The swell is pushing up to 4 ft from the SW, with a solid 16-second period and a combined energy of (571). The wind is light and cross-offshore again, making for clean, lined-up waves. This is the best of the whole forecast period, but keep in mind, at 4 ft it’s still a fun size for most, not a beast. It’s a point break, so those long-period swells will wrap in nicely.

After that, things drop off again. There’s a small window on Wednesday, August 19th morning, with a clean 3 ft swell from the SW, but the energy is dropping (334). It’s surfable, but nothing to write home about.

The last week of the forecast is pretty flat. The swell drops to 1 ft - 2 ft with very weak energy, and the wind is mostly onshore or cross. There’s a brief moment on Sunday, August 23rd morning with a clean 1 ft swell, but it’s just a tiny leftover.

The water here is a balmy 81°F, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year. That’s a big anomaly, over 4°F above normal, so you’ll be in for a warm bath.

So, the best bet is Saturday, August 15th morning. Get in the water then. The Tuesday before is a good fallback if you’re itching for a wave.

Rusty.
