Plentzia Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it. Look, I’ve got to be straight with you. The next 16 days out at Plentzia are looking like a total bummer for surf. We’ve got a few little pulses of energy, but the conditions are just not cooperating. The water is sitting at 74°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least a dip will feel good, but you’re not gonna be riding much.

The first real chance to even get wet comes on Sunday the 12th of July, but it’s a real letdown. We’re looking at a tiny 2 ft swell from the NW, with a period of 9 seconds, and the wind is blowing straight onshore from the WNW at 15 mph. The combined energy is a weak 39, and it’s just a mess. Honestly, forget it.

Monday the 13th has a tiny bit more size, with 4 ft from the NW, but the period is a short 6 seconds, meaning it’s choppy and weak. The wind is a cross-offshore from the NE at 3 mph in the morning, which is okay, but the energy is still poor at 99. It’s surfable, but it’s very ordinary. The whole week, from Tuesday the 14th through the weekend, is a write-off. We’re talking 1 ft to 2 ft swells, short periods, and mostly onshore or cross-onshore winds. It’s just poor surf conditions day after day.

Now, we get a bit more juice in the second week. From Monday the 20th, the swell starts to build. On Monday the 20th, we see 5 ft to 5 ft from the NNW, with periods of 6-7 seconds and moderate energy hitting 206 to 244. But the wind is still onshore. It’s a no-go.

The standout energy, if you can call it that, is on Thursday the 23rd of July. We get a 6 ft swell from the NW, with a period of 12 seconds in the afternoon. That’s a proper groundswell, and the combined energy is a massive 1571. But here’s the kicker – the wind is blowing straight onshore from the WNW at 12 mph. The wave comment is “poor surf conditions.” For a spot that’s sheltered and rarely breaks, this is a total tease. The long period also means it’s going to be breaking straight at this beach setup, making it a real mess. It’s too big and choppy for beginners, and it’s not clean enough for experts. Honestly, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.

The rest of the week is a slow fade. Friday the 24th has 6 ft in the morning with 10-second period, but again, onshore wind. By the 27th, we’re back to tiny 2 ft with glassy conditions, but the size is just not there.

The harsh truth is there are no good surf options in this 16-day window. Plentzia is a spot that rarely breaks, and it’s set to be a blank run. It’s normal for this area to have long gaps like this. Keep an eye on the charts, but for now, leave the board at home.

Rusty.
