Plentzia Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s check out what’s brewing for Plentzia. It’s gonna be a slow start, but the second week has some real juice if you’re keen to wait.

The water’s a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, running about 72°F. That’s a nice little bonus.

First few days, it’s tiny. We’re talking knee-high dribble from the NW with barely any energy. Wednesday the 2nd has some 3ft swell but it’s weak (83 energy), and the wind is okay but not magic. Honestly, not worth the paddle. Thursday and Friday are even smaller. Leave your board on the rack.

Then, on Saturday the 5th, things perk up. The morning is ordinary, but the afternoon brings a clean 5ft NW swell with 13-second period. That’s proper groundswell (327 to 683 energy) and with a light offshore breeze, it’ll have some shape. First day worth a look.

Sunday the 6th and Monday the 7th get blown out by onshore westerlies. The swell is there, 5ft and 2ft, but it’s messy. Not worth it.

The real standout? That’s Saturday the 12th of September. The morning is glassy with 4ft NW swell, but the afternoon ramps up. Clean, 6ft NW swell with 11 seconds at 794 energy. That’s a solid, punchy wave with light cross-offshore wind. It’s gonna be a good session.

But the absolute best on offer is Sunday the 13th of September. Morning has 5ft NW swell at 13 seconds, clean offshore from the ESE, and 973 energy. The afternoon stays clean with 5ft NW and 12-second period. That’s a long, lined-up groundswell. For a beach break, watch out – it might section a bit, but with that offshore wind, it’ll be peeling. Keep an eye on the crowds as it can get busy.

There’s another strong pulse on Tuesday the 15th of September. The afternoon brings a 4ft swell from the NNW with a very long 16-second period. That’s 1073 energy – serious power. That kind of period is best on a reef or point, but at Plentzia it’ll still offer some bombs. The wind is light offshore, so it’ll be clean.

After that, the wind turns onshore and the quality drops. Wednesday the 16th starts with a 5ft NW swell, but the wind is onshore and it’s uncertain. From there, it’s a slow decline into small, choppy conditions.

So, to sum it up: the first week is a write-off. The second week kicks off with a clean, fun Saturday and Sunday. The standout is Sunday the 13th – that’s the one to circle. The 15th is also a serious session if you handle the long-period power. The rest is just waiting.

Rusty.
