Plentzia Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at the coming run.

It’s gonna be a slow start for Plentzia. Nothing really worth paddling out for until the first week is almost done, and even then it’s more about patience than perfection. Water temp is sitting at 72°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year – not crazy, but you’ll notice it’s a bit more like summer hanging on.

The first genuine chance comes on Sunday the 13th. Early morning looks magic – dead calm, glassy, with a 4ft NW groundswell rolling in at 13 seconds. That’s proper long-period energy, the kind that wraps and holds up. The swell combo energy is strong at 546, so there’s plenty of push. That’ll be the best of the weekend. The afternoon keeps it clean with a light NE cross-off and a little more size at 5ft, still with great period at 12 seconds and energy at 590. This is the standout window – clean, consistent, and enough punch to make it worthwhile. Plentzia can get busy, but if you’re out there early on Sunday morning, you’ll have the best of it.

Monday the 14th still has clean conditions and a 4ft NW swell at 11 seconds, but it’s a step down in energy and quality. From Tuesday through the end of the week, it goes pretty flat and choppy – a lot of onshore wind and small, messy waves. A few mornings offer glass, but the swell is too small to get excited about.

Then we’ve got something promising way out in the forecast. On Monday the 21st, a really solid pulse of NW swell arrives. Early morning looks epic – glassy conditions, 10ft of NW swell at 10 seconds. That’s a big, powerful, meaty swell with combined energy at a massive 1837. That’s expert territory though – over 8ft, so only for those who know what they’re doing. The wind stays perfect until the afternoon when it turns cross-shore, but still light. That Monday is the standout of the whole run, but it’s two weeks out, so keep an eye on it. Tuesday the 22nd still has good waves at 6ft with clean glassy morning windows and lighter crowds potential.

For the rest of the second week, it’s mostly small but clean, with waist-high stuff and light winds. Nothing that’ll have you calling in sick.

The bottom line: Sunday the 13th is your best early bet for clean, solid surf. The Monday the 21st looks like the biggest and best window of the whole forecast, but it’s a long way off and it’s for experienced surfers only.

So, from now, there’s a gap of nearly a week with nothing worth mentioning, then a good Sunday, then another quiet spell, then a big pulse to close it out. That’s how it goes sometimes.

Stay stoked, and don't sleep on that Monday 21st if it holds.

Rusty.
