Hey folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s happening at Playa Copey.
We’ve got a big gap coming up with barely any surf worth mentioning. From Monday the 6th of July all the way through to about Wednesday the 15th of July, the waves are tiny and the wind is mostly cross or cross-off from the east and east-southeast, 6 to 16 mph. The swell height sits at 2 to 3 ft, coming from the NE, with periods of 7 to 8 seconds – short period stuff that’s weak and lacks push. The combined energy of all swells directed here is weak for the most part, staying under 200, so don’t expect much.
There’s one afternoon that stands out – Thursday the 9th of July afternoon. The swell is 2 ft from the NE, period 8 seconds, combined energy (70) – still weak. But the wind goes cross-offshore from the southeast at 9 mph, so the surface is clean. It’s surfable, but just barely. That’s your best bet for the whole two weeks, and it’s not saying much.
Then on Wednesday morning the 15th of July, you get another clean window with 2 ft NE swell, period 7 seconds, combined energy (54), and a light cross-off wind from the ESE at 6 mph. Again, it’s clean but tiny – knee-high at best.
After that, from the 16th of July onward, it’s back to poor surf with swells 2 to 3 ft, short period, and cross to cross-on winds from the east-northeast at 9 to 16 mph. A real run of flat days.
Crowds at Playa Copey are “sometimes,” so you might have it to yourself, but there’s just no swell to work with. Water temp is about average for the time of year.
If you’re keen, aim for Thursday the 9th of July afternoon – it’s the only thing even close to a window. Otherwise, it’s a long quiet stretch.
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.
