The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. I've looked at what's coming down the pike for the next two and a half weeks and honestly, it's a tough stretch. We've got a long gap of quiet conditions before anything even gets close to rideable.
The whole 16-day window is a flat spell for Playa Copey. The wave energy just isn't there. The combined energy readings are nearly all weak, with the highest we see at only 96 (moderate). That's the pulse we get on the afternoon of the 12th of September, but with a short, weak period of 6 seconds and cross winds, it's still rating as "poor surf conditions." Really, nothing here is worth paddling out for. The water temp is sitting around 82°, which is about average for this time of year.
There are no standouts. No one day rises above the rest. The swell is tiny, the period is short, and the wind is almost always cross or cross-onshore, keeping everything choppy. For the first week, you're looking at a blank run. The second week offers no hope either, with the same small, weak swells persisting right through to the 25th of September. It’s one of those stretches where the setup looks more interesting for a kite than a surfboard, given the persistent cross-shore winds and small, weak waves.
Keep an eye on the forecasts, but for now, it’s a waiting game.

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