Playa Samara Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what Playa Samara is serving up over the next couple of weeks.

We’ve got a nice, steady pulse of long-period groundswell rolling in from the south-southwest, and the water temp is sitting right where it should be for this time of year, so no surprises there. The wave energy (676) is looking solid right from the get-go.

For the first few days, starting Saturday the 4th through Monday the 6th, the swell is hanging around the 3 ft mark with periods well over 14 seconds. That's a proper groundswell, giving you long lines between sets and a clean paddle out. The real highlight here is the wind: glassy in the mornings and light offshore breezes, which means the beach and reef setup at Playa Samara will look damn near perfect. It’s fairly consistent, so you’ll get plenty of waves, but be aware it can get a crowd sometimes.

Now, the standout of this whole outlook. You want to be looking at Tuesday the 7th. We’ve got a jump in swell size to 4 ft, that long 18-second period, and glassy conditions in the morning. The combined energy is pumping at 1096 – that's serious power. This one is for the experienced crew; the waves will have some real push behind them.

The second week sees the swell drop off a fair bit. By the 14th, we’re down to knee-high waves with a lot less energy. The wind stays clean, so there’ll be little rippable bumps on offer, but nothing to get too excited about. It’s a quiet spell that lasts a few days.

Looking way out to Saturday the 19th, there’s a promising pulse of 4 ft, 18-second SSW swell showing up with cleaner offshore wind again. It’s a week away, so keep an eye on it, but that 1188 energy reading has me buzzing. That one could be the real sleeper for the experts.

Stay stoked.
Rusty.
