Plentzia Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a yarn about what’s coming our way at Plentzia. This spot is a sheltered break, and it rarely breaks, so we’re picking our moments carefully here.

Right off the bat, we’ve got a bit of a slow start. Friday the 11th and Saturday the 12th are pretty ordinary. There’s a tiny bit of swell around, but the conditions are either glassy with almost no energy or the wind gets choppy. Not worth paddling out for.

Now, Sunday the 13th morning is where things start to get interesting. We’ve got a clean 4ft swell from the NW, with a period of 13 seconds – that’s a nice groundswell. The wind is glassy, and the combined energy is moderate at 550. It’s going to be good out there. That morning session on Sunday is a standout for the first week. By the afternoon it stays clean with a light breeze, but the morning glass-off is the pick.

Monday the 14th is surfable but ordinary, and then we hit a rough patch from Tuesday the 15th through to Wednesday the 16th. Onshore winds, short periods, messy conditions. That stretch of a few days is a write-off. The wind is blowing straight onshore and it’s choppy.

Thursday the 17th morning brings some light rain and glassy conditions, with a 5ft NW swell and a period of 11 seconds. The energy is moderate at 579. That’s worth a look if you’re keen for a paddle, but the afternoon gets a bit cross-onshore, so grab that morning session.

After a quiet Friday and Saturday morning, we get a proper run of good surf starting Sunday the 20th. The morning is flat calm – glassy, with a 5ft swell from the NW and a 12-second period, energy at 694. That’s clean. The afternoon stays clean with a cross-off breeze, and the swell bumps up slightly to 6ft. Really nice session shaping up.

Monday the 21st is another cracker – dead calm in the morning, 5ft NW swell, same long period. Glassy perfection for the early birds.

Then we have a bit of a quiet spell with surfable but not amazing conditions through Tuesday. But keep your eye on Wednesday the 23rd morning. That is the big one. We’ve got a 6ft NW swell, period of 13 seconds, and the combined energy is strong at 1077. Best of all, the wind is offshore from the East at 20 km/h. That is prime. The waves will be clean and have some push. This is the standout of the whole outlook – but remember, at 6ft it’s getting a bit much for beginners.

Thursday the 24th morning continues the fun with offshore winds and a 5ft NW swell, but the afternoon gets a bit messy with stronger cross-off winds.

After that, the wind swings onshore Friday and Saturday, bringing poor conditions to close out the run.

So, the real highlights? Sunday the 13th morning for a playful, glassy start, and Wednesday the 23rd morning for the biggest, cleanest swell of the lot.

Rusty, signing off.
