Plentzia Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what Plentzia has cookin’ for us over this 16-day stretch.

Straight up, this is a tough outlook. We’ve got a long, dry spell of days where the surf just isn’t offering anything worth paddling out for. The first real chance at something rideable doesn’t come until Sunday the 5th, but even then, it’s pretty ordinary. From there, it’s a whole lot of “poor surf conditions” and periods of onshore wind. There’s a big gap from the 6th of July all the way through the 16th where nothing is scoring high enough to recommend. Honestly, you’d be hard-pressed to find a wave worth the wax for over a week.

The only time we see a flicker of life is around Friday the 17th and Saturday the 18th. Friday morning the 17th looks like your best bet. We’ve got clean, glassy conditions with a slight air and a 4ft NW swell pushing through at 9 seconds. The combined energy reads a moderate 226, which will at least put some push behind the wave. Later that afternoon, the wind goes cross-offshore from the NE at 6 mph, keeping it clean, with the swell bumping up to 4ft and the energy climbing to 243. That’s the standout window. For a spot that rarely breaks and is sheltered from most swell, seeing that NW swell with clean wind is a real treat. Keep your expectations realistic though – this is a beginner wave, and the water temp is a notable 73°F, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year.

If you miss that, Saturday the 18th afternoon offers a smaller, cleaner option with a 3ft NW swell and cross-off winds, but it’s not going to have the same energy. There’s also a brief glassy moment early on the 15th, but the swell is weak and inconsistent.

So, the top of the pile is Friday the 17th. Aim for the morning glass, or the afternoon clean-up. Don’t expect perfection, but it’s the best we’re gettin’. The rest of the days? It’s a good time to change your fins or just sit on the beach with a coffee.

Stay patient. Rusty.
