The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with the lowdown on Playa Copey. Gotta say, this is one of those stretches where you might be better off taking the board in for a wax or finding another hobby for a bit. Right from the start, it's lookin' pretty grim.
The water's a warm 81°, which is normal for this time of year. But the waves? Man, the first week is a total loss. We're talkin' day after day of tiny, weak swells. The energy readings are almost all in the teens or twenties, which is barely a ripple. The wind's mostly a cross-shore breeze that's just gonna keep things messy and bumpy. It's a real bummer, but sometimes it's just like that here.
The second week doesn't offer much hope, either. The swell starts to nudge up a little, but it's still pretty weak, and the wind stays stubbornly cross or cross-onshore, keeping the surface chopped up. It's just not gonna be worth paddling out for anything but a float.
Now, late in the window, on the afternoon of August 15th, we see a little bump to 4 ft from the NE, with the combined energy jumping to a moderate 224. It's still tiny and the period is short at 8 seconds, so it's not gonna have any punch. And the whole run is plagued with the same "poor surf conditions" tag in the data. For a consistent point break like Playa Copey, this is a pretty rare blank spell. Usually, it's more reliable than this. Forecasts can change, but right now, there's nothing to get excited about. I'd say sit tight.

A general guide to surfing at Playa Copey can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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.
