Table - best surf conditions forecast for Playa Copey over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
Straight up, I’ll be honest with you – this is a tough one. Looking at the whole 16-day window, we’re staring down the barrel of a proper flat spell. There’s no surf worth paddling out for at all. The first recommendation is on the 12th of July, but it’s a non-starter. We’ve got a long run of "poor surf conditions" from the get-go, and it doesn’t let up. Every single session is rated a zero. There’s no standout, no hidden gem, just a whole lot of nothing.
The only spot in the mix is Playa Copey. It’s a consistent point break, but it’s just not doing anything. The swell is tiny, hanging around 1ft to 3ft from the NE, with a short period around 4 to 8 seconds. The combined wave energy is weak, mostly in the 20 to 100 range (like 52, 115, 35, 27, 20). It’s all cross-shore wind, mostly from the ENE, and that’s putting a chop on the surface. There’s no clean, glassy moment to save it. The best we see is a couple of clean windows on the morning of the 22nd and 25th of July, but the swell is still pathetic at 2ft.
Forget about beginners or experts, there’s nothing here for anyone. About the only thing worth noting is that the water temp is around average for the time of year, so at least a swim would be comfortable. But a surf? Not a chance.
This is a classic blank run for the area. It’s a quiet spot at the best of times, but a run this long with absolutely no recommendations is pretty normal. Forecasts can change, but right now, if you want to get wet, you’re better off with a kite if the wind picks up, 'cause the surf sure isn't gonna do it for you.
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.
