Plentzia Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s on offer for Plentzia over the next couple of weeks.

Honestly, it’s a pretty quiet stretch ahead. For this spot, which is a sheltered, rarely-breaking beginner wave, the next 16 days don’t have much to get excited about. The first real chance of anything surfable doesn’t show up until Thursday, August 6th, and even then it’s a very ordinary affair. There’s a long gap of flat or poor conditions from now until that date.

The best of the bunch looks to be the morning of Monday, August 10th. We’ve got a 4ft NW swell rolling in, and the wind is dead calm – glassy as glass. The period is 8 seconds, so it’s a bit on the shorter side, but that clean surface will make it feel better than it is. The combined energy is moderate (156). It’s still a beginner wave, so don’t expect power, but it’ll be the cleanest it gets.

The morning of Thursday, August 6th is another one to maybe have a look at. A 3ft NW swell with a light cross-offshore breeze from the ENE will keep it clean. The energy is weak (82), but it's surfable. The afternoon of the 10th and the 11th also have similar clean, knee-high dribble.

The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual there.

For the rest of the period, it’s mostly onshore winds, tiny waves, or flat calm. The 9th of August sees a bump in energy with a 4ft to 4ft NW swell, but the winds are onshore and cross-onshore, making it a messy, choppy affair. The energy is strong (324 on the afternoon), but with those winds, it’s a write-off for a clean wave.

To be honest, for a spot that rarely breaks, this is a pretty normal run of flatness. The standouts are the glassy morning of the 10th. Don’t hold your breath for the rest.

Rusty.
