Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's cooking for the next couple of weeks. Right off the bat, the water is feeling good at about 88°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
We've got a solid, extended run of surf on the way starting Sunday, July 5th. The pick of the first week is definitely Sunday morning. We're looking at a clean 4ft SSW groundswell, glassy conditions with a light offshore wind, and a very long 17-second period. The combined energy is pumping hard at 1249, so there's plenty of power in the water. That long-period swell is going to wrap perfectly into Puerto Escondido (the point break, not the beach), giving us some beautiful, well-shaped waves. This is advanced territory, but for those who can handle it, this is as good as it gets for the forecast period.
The energy hangs in there through Monday morning with another glassy session, this time with a 4ft SSW swell at a 16-second period and even more energy (1501). It's going to be tough to beat those mornings.
The theme for the rest of the first week is a classic Mexican setup: excellent glassy mornings giving way to afternoon onshores and the risk of thunderstorms. The mornings of Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday all look fantastic for the experienced crew, with clean conditions and chest to head-high swell. The combined energy holds strong in the mid-to-high three-digit range through Wednesday.
Into the second week, the swell starts to ease off. The standouts get further apart. The morning of Sunday, July 12th, still offers a clean 4ft SSW swell, but the period has dropped to 14 seconds and the energy is down to 639. It's still a good session, just not in the same league as the week before. After that, the wind gets a bit more tricky and the swell drops significantly.
We hit a real lull from around Tuesday the 14th onward, with waves dropping below 3ft and inconsistent. There's a bit of a pulse coming back on Monday, July 20th, with a new 4ft S swell and glassy conditions, and the energy jumps back up to 828. That one is promising, but still a week and a half out, so we'll have to wait and see how it shapes up.
So, in short: set your alarm for Sunday and Monday mornings of this first week. That's your window. After that, it gets patchy, with one hopeful look at the distant horizon.
Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at Puerto Escondido can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Puerto Escondido may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
