The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it for Playa Copey.
Look, I’m gonna be straight with you. The next 16 days are a bit of a flat spell for this point break. That consistent, small, NE windswell is there, but it just doesn’t have the beans to push past the constant cross-shore and cross-onshore breeze. The first surfable day is Wednesday the 15th, but it’s a tough start. We’re looking at a tiny 2 ft swell from the NE with a short period of 7 seconds, and the combined energy is weak at just 48. The wind is a gentle cross-onshore, making it pretty choppy. For a point break, we need that clean, offshore groom to make it work, and we just don't have it.
The whole week stays locked in that pattern. Swell heights barely nudge above 3 ft, and the period is short, mostly 4-7 seconds. The wind is a constant ENE cross or cross-on shore. It’s going to feel like a battle. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no wetsuit surprises there.
We do get a little bump in combined energy on Saturday the 18th afternoon, hitting 146, which is moderate, but the swell is still a messy 3 ft from the NE and the wind is cross. It’s just not an inviting prospect.
The only real glimmer of hope comes on Wednesday the 22nd morning. The wind finally swings around to a light cross-offshore from the ESE, and the water cleans up. But the swell is only 2 ft with a 7-second period and a combined energy of just 25. It’d be a glassy, tiny, gutless wave. Fun for a longboard on a day off, maybe, but nothing to get excited about.
After that, it’s back to the same story. Tiny swell, onshore wind. The second week of the outlook is more of the same: small, weak, and wind-affected. The best description for the whole 16-day window is a tap drain. If you absolutely have to paddle out, the cleanest window is that Wednesday the 22nd morning, but pack a longboard and low expectations.
Rusty.

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.
