The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s have a look at what’s on the table for Playa Copey over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, mate, there’s not much to get excited about. We’re looking at a long stretch of pretty ordinary conditions. The first session with any kind of a pulse is Tuesday afternoon, September 1st, but even then it’s only offering surfable waves that are still very ordinary. Before that, from Saturday the 29th right through Tuesday morning, it’s all poor surf with mostly cross-onshore or cross-off breezes and tiny lumps.
Tuesday afternoon, September 1st, we finally see a bit of energy bump up, with swell around 2 ft from the NE, period around 8 seconds, combined swell energy at 107 (moderate energy). The wind swings light and ESE, cross-off, which leaves the surface clean. Water temp is around 82°, pretty much average for the time of year (anomaly of -0.5°). It’s not going to blow you away, but if you’re keen for a paddle, that’s the most promising slot in this whole forecast. Crowds can turn up here sometimes, so you might have company.
From Wednesday the 2nd onward, it’s back to small, weak conditions. Swell heights hover between 0.7 ft and 3 ft, with short periods often below 8 seconds and combined energy mostly under 100. The wind stays cross or cross-on, keeping things messy. There’s a few cleaner moments with light cross-off breezes on the 8th, 9th, and 11th of September, but the swell is just too weak to get excited about – 2 ft to 2 ft with piddly energy.
Because this is a point break that’s consistent, it tends not to stay flat forever, but right now there’s nothing on the horizon that screams “go.” No standout swells, no proper groundswell, and the best you can hope for is a few ordinary waves on Tuesday afternoon. If you’re desperate for a surf, that’s your window. Otherwise, wait for the next change in the charts.

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.

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.
