The Lowdown
Alright folks, let’s have it. I’m looking at 16 days for Playa Copey and I’m telling you, there’s nothing to get excited about. It’s a long, flat, windy stretch with no real window of clean surf. Don’t plan your week around it.
Starting from Friday the 4th of September, we have tiny 2ft NE swell with a short 4-second period – it’s weak, only reading 24 for energy. The wind is cross from the ENE at 12 mph, and the water is just a touch cool for the season at 81°F. It’s poor.
Saturday the 5th is even worse in the morning with 1ft and an energy reading of 8. The afternoons bring 2ft but that cross-wind chops it up bad.
This pattern just repeats all through the first week. Monday the 7th through Wednesday the 9th, you’re looking at 1ft to 3ft, but it’s all messy. On Thursday the 10th of September the energy finally climbs to 133, but it’s still only 2ft with an 8-second period and cross-wind – not a surfable wave.
The second week into September the 19th doesn’t offer any hope. Swell never gets above 3ft, periods stay low, and the wind is always cross or cross-onshore. No standout day. No clean conditions.
With this constant onshore chop and no real power (those energy numbers barely ever hit three digits), this spot looks way more suitable for kite surfing than trying to paddle out into that mess. Playa Copey is a consistent break, but consistently it’s giving us nothing but poor conditions for this whole forecast. Sometimes you get a run like this – just one of those quiet spells.

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.
