Alright groms, Rusty here. Let’s talk Playa Copey. It’s gonna be a quiet couple of weeks, so don’t hold your breath.
There’s a big dry spell right off the bat. The first time we see anything even close to surfable is Friday the 10th. Before that, it’s all tiny slop: 1ft to 3ft max, with short-period windswell and cross-shore breezes that are tearing it up. The energy stays low to moderate (12 to 152), but it’s junk.
On Friday the 10th in the afternoon, we get a little window. The swell is 3ft from the NE with a 8-second period, and the energy bumps to 181 (moderate). The wind shifts to a cross-offshore from the ESE at 9 mph, and the report says “clean.” That’s the first clean report we get. It’s not great, but it’s surfable. Very ordinary conditions, but it’s the best of a bad run.
Then again on Monday the 13th in the morning, we see 2ft from the NE at 8 seconds, a light cross-off breeze from the ESE at 9 mph, and clean conditions. Combined energy is weak at 53. Same deal: surfable, but just barely.
After that, through the 17th, it’s back to small, choppy rubbish. No other scores above zero.
Playa Copey is a consistent point break that works best with NE swell, but the waves never top 3ft and the wind stays uncooperative almost the whole time. Water temp is about 79°F, which is normal for the season.
So, bottom line: your only half-chances are Friday the 10th afternoon and Monday the 13th morning. If you’re not desperate, hold tight. This stretch is a dud.
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.
