Plentzia Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s on offer for Plentzia over the next couple of weeks. Straight up, it’s looking like a slow start, so don’t rush to wax up just yet. We’ve got a real dry spell from now until the end of this week, with only dribbles of swell and mostly ordinary conditions. The good news is it builds into something much more promising, especially if you can wait it out.

Right now, the first surf worth mentioning is a very small window on Thursday morning, the 10th. We’ve got a 4ft NW swell, but the energy is weak at 315, and honestly, the waves are surfable but very ordinary. It’s not going to get the heart racing. The water temp is sitting at 72°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least you won’t be freezing while you wait.

The real standout, and I mean the *only* one worth marking on your calendar, is Sunday the 13th. That morning looks like the pick of the first week. The wind goes glassy, dead calm, and we’ve got a proper 4ft NW groundswell with a long period of 13 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 538, so there’s some proper push behind it. Expect clean, glassy conditions. This spot is sheltered, though, and it rarely breaks, so this is a special treat.

Hold on to your board for the second week, because Friday the 25th, over a week and a half away, is looking like a serious standout. The forecast shows a 10ft NNW swell with a very long period of 15 seconds, and the energy reading is sky-high at 4201. This is big, powerful stuff. The wind is glassy that morning and light offshore in the afternoon. This is expert territory for sure – over 8ft is for experienced surfers only. The long period will make it better shaped, with bigger gaps between sets, which is perfect for a point break or reef setup. This is a promising long-range call, but it’s far out, so keep your fingers crossed.

Outside of those two mornings, there’s a lot of onshore wind, wind-affected slop, and poor surf conditions. There’s a solid block of poor conditions from the 15th through the 18th, and again into the early part of the following week. You’ll have to pick your moments.

For the most part, the surf is inconsistent here. It’s that kind of spot. So when it lines up like it does on the 13th and the 25th, you get in the water.

Rusty.
