The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight – this outlook for Playa Copey is a tough one. Over the next 16 days, from Saturday 18 July right through to Sunday 2 August, there’s simply no surf worth paddling out for. Every single forecast window comes up as poor surf conditions, with tiny swell and messy wind. The water temperature is sitting at 79°F, which is pretty average for this time of year – nothing unusual there.
The swell never gets above 3 ft, and the period is short – mostly 4 to 8 seconds, so no real power behind it. The wind is almost always cross-shore or cross-onshore, never clean offshore. The combined energy is weak, usually under 100, with a brief bump to 168 on Saturday afternoon but still poor. This point break is consistent and usually handles a NE swell, but the direction is all over the place – ENE, NE, even E – and the size is just too small to do anything with. Even the morning of Saturday 1 August shows a cross-offshore wind and clean conditions, but the swell is only 1 ft with a 7-second period – not enough to get excited about.
So, no standouts, no hidden gems. It’s a blank run for the whole 16 days. If you’re desperate for a paddle, you might find a knee-high ripple, but don’t expect any real waves. Sometimes the forecasts change, but right now, leave the board at home.

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.
