The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming our way. It’s going to be a bit of a mixed bag – a lot of marginal days, but there are a couple of windows that could be worth a paddle. The water is sitting at 71°, which is a solid 8° warmer than usual for this time of year, so that’s a real treat; you won’t be needing the thickest rubber.

Things start off pretty ordinary and stay that way for a long stretch. From Wednesday the 15th right through to the end of Sunday the 20th, it’s mostly small, with cross-onshore winds messing up the surface. Wave heights hang around the 3 ft to 5 ft mark, but the wind is light to gentle, so it’s not completely blown out, just... average. The combined energy of all swells directed here sits between 428 and 814, which is moderate at best, but the conditions are never clean enough to get the heart racing. The best you could say for this period is that the morning of Saturday the 19th has a light 3 mph wind, but it’s still cross-onshore, so it’s a tough sell.

The standout moment looks like Friday the 24th. We’ve got a 7 ft swell from the SSW, with a long period of 14 seconds, and the combined energy jumps right up to 1968 (strong). That’s a proper groundswell. The wind early that morning is light and from the WSW, putting it offshore for Pavos. That’s clean. The only catch is that 7 ft gets a bit large for the beginners, and with that long period, it’ll be better for the experienced crew. It’s the one true standout on the whole forecast.

The week after that looks up and down. Sunday the 26th drops right back to tiny 2 ft waves, but the period stretches to 19 seconds – that’s really long. That kind of energy is best suited for a point or reef, not a straight beach break, so keep that in mind. The combined energy is still moderate (662), but the size is small. Winds are light, so it’ll be clean, just small.

Looking further ahead to Wednesday the 29th and Thursday the 30th, we get another pulse. Swell builds to 5 ft - 6 ft from the SW, with a period of 13-15 seconds and combined energy climbing back over 1000 (strong). Winds are light and offshore/cross-offshore, which is promising. This is a decent second-week option, but it’s a long way out, so the details might shift.

Overall, it’s a long wait for the good stuff. If you’re a beginner, the first week is manageable but not great. If you’re after quality, lock in the morning of Friday the 24th. That’s the one to chase.

Rusty.

Information about the Pavos Surf forecast

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

Pavos is 4 km (2 miles) from the city of Lima. If you plan a holiday in Lima, look for hotels and other accommodation in Lima. Lima has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
