Plentzia Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at the region. Things are pretty quiet overall. The only spot on the radar is Plentzia, and it’s one of those spots that rarely breaks, so we’re in for a long wait.

For the first week or so, it’s mostly flat or tiny, with onshore or cross-shore winds messing up what little there is. The energy is weak, with combined swell energy barely pushing above 100 (131) on the first Monday morning, but even then the surf is described as very ordinary. Honestly, from the 13th through to the 26th of July, there’s hardly anything worth paddling out for. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual there.

Now, here’s the standout, and it’s a real glimmer of hope. On Monday the 27th of July, we finally get a pulse. The morning session shows a clean 5.2ft NW swell, with a period of 9 seconds and a combined energy of 405 (moderate). The wind is light and cross-offshore from the east, which will keep Plentzia looking clean. For a break that rarely breaks, this is the moment to be there. The afternoon holds a similar 5.6ft NW swell, but the wind picks up to 12 mph from the NE, still cross-off, but the conditions are labelled as marginal, so the morning is the better call.

The next day, Tuesday the 28th, shows a morning push to 5.9ft NW with an 11-second period, giving a strong energy of 798, but the wind swings onshore from the WNW, which will likely spoil the surface. That’s expert-only territory if it’s breaking, but given the onshore wind and the rare nature of the spot, it’s not the pick.

So, to wrap it up: if you’re patient, Monday the 27th morning is your best bet – clean, moderate-sized NW swell, light offshore wind. The rest of the window is mostly a write-off. Don’t hold your breath, but that one morning could be worth the wait.
