The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get into it.
Alright, straight up, we've got a long, quiet stretch ahead. Looking at Playa Copey, the whole 16-day window is a tough one. We're talking about a solid week and a half with barely a ripple worth getting wet for. From now until around Saturday the 8th of August, it's all tiny, weak surf and mostly messy conditions – cross-shore winds and chop. Don't bother paddling out for that.
The first real glimpse of anything even remotely interesting shows up late on Saturday the 8th. The afternoon brings a little 0.7 ft NE swell, but the wind goes light offshore from the ESE, cleaning things up. It's surfable, but it's ordinary. The combined energy is still weak (87). It's a tiny window, and it's over fast.
After that, we're back to the doldrums. The next flicker of hope doesn't come until the second week. On Friday the 14th of August, the morning looks promising. The wind swings offshore from the SE, the water goes glassy, and we've got a clean 2 ft wave from the NE. The energy is still weak (29), but for this area right now, that's a standout. Then on the afternoon of the 15th of August, the combined energy bumps up to a moderate 127, with 3 ft of NE swell. The wind is cross-shore, so it won't be perfect, but it's the most push we'll see.
If I had to pick one, the cleanest option is the morning of Friday the 14th of August at Playa Copey. It's not big, but light offshore winds and clean conditions will make it the best of a bad lot. After that, the afternoon of the 15th of August has the most size and energy, but with that cross-shore wind, it'll be a bit lumpy.
So, there you have it. A long quiet spell, then a couple of brief opportunities. Get on the Friday the 14th morning if you can. Forecasts can change, but right now, it's slim pickings.
Rusty.

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.
