The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s take a hard look at what’s on the table for Playa Copey over the next 16 days.
Honestly, it’s a bleak run. We’re looking at a solid stretch of tiny, weak, and often choppy surf. The first ten days are a write-off, with nothing but knee-high dribble and cross-shore or cross-onshore winds making a mess of things. The water's sitting at a warm 82°F tonight, about what you'd expect for this time of year, but that’s about the only thing that’s normal.
The pattern doesn’t really break until Friday the 11th of September. That morning, we finally get a bit of life. A clean, cross-offshore breeze from the ESE at 9 mph will tidy up that tiny 2 ft of NE swell (period a lackluster 8 seconds). The wave energy is still weak (65), but it’s the only window in the whole outlook where the conditions line up to be *clean*. The swell direction is on the mark for this pointbreak, and with such light wind, you could actually enjoy a few little peelers. Expect it to be tiny, though, and there’s a risk of thunderstorms hanging around.
After that, it’s back to the doldrums. The following week is more of the same – flat to small, choppy, and pretty ordinary. There's a brief uptick in combined swell energy around Thursday the 10th (129 in the afternoon), but the wind is cross-onshore and the surf quality is rated as poor. It’s not worth getting excited about.
So, if you’re desperate for a paddle, your one and only real chance is that Friday morning (September 11th). It’s the standout, but even then, keep your expectations low – it’s a micro-session. The rest of the 16-day window is basically a skip.
Stay patient, check back closer to the time, but for now, it’s a long blank run.

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.
