Puerto Escondido Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s get into it.

We’ve got a solid run of surf shaping up for Puerto Escondido, starting Tuesday morning. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there. The first few days are small but clean, then it builds into a real standout window.

Tuesday the 14th kicks things off with a glassy 3ft SSW groundswell, period a healthy 13 seconds. The energy is moderate (489) but with zero wind, it’ll be clean and rideable. Wedges and the point will have some fun little peelers. The mornings are the go; afternoons turn onshore and messy.

Wednesday and Thursday mornings keep that pattern—glassy, small SSW swell around 2ft to 3ft, good for a log or a funboard. By Friday morning the swell drops to 2ft from the south, still glassy but definitely smaller.

Now, Saturday the 18th is a write-off for quality. The morning has cross-shore wind, and the afternoon gets choppy. Skip it.

Sunday the 19th is where it starts to get interesting. Glassy conditions again, 3ft SW swell with a long 17-second period. That’s proper groundswell, a little more energy (786), and it’ll really stand up on the point. This is your first real highlight—clean, punchy, and likely uncrowded early.

Monday the 20th is even better. Morning glass with a 4ft SW swell at 16 seconds, energy climbing to 876. The wave quality is up, and that direction is perfect for Puerto’s main peaks. Strong current might be a factor, but the trade-off is excellent shape.

Tuesday the 21st and Wednesday the 22nd keep the good times rolling with glassy mornings and 3ft–4ft SW swell. Consistent, clean, and plenty of waves.

Thursday the 23rd and Friday the 24th are smaller again, but still glassy mornings with waist-high sets. Then Saturday the 25th—hold onto your board. A 3ft SW groundswell hits with a 21-second period and the energy shoots up to 1288. That’s strong, powerful, long-period energy. The point and the reef will be firing, but at 3ft it’s not giant—still manageable for experienced surfers. Glassy wind too. This is a standout.

Sunday the 26th keeps the momentum. Morning glass, 4ft SW swell, 19-second period, energy at 1962. That’s serious power. Prepare for heavy, fast waves. This is expert-only territory on the bigger sets.

Monday the 27th morning has cross-shore wind but the afternoon cleans up nicely with cross-offshore breeze and a 4ft SW swell at 17 seconds, energy still over 1000. Excellent conditions for those who know the lineup.

Tuesday the 28th and Wednesday the 29th mornings are glassy or near-glass, with 4ft–4ft SW swell at 16 seconds. Solid, clean, and consistent through the final push.

The best on offer: Saturday the 25th and Sunday the 26th mornings. That long-period SW groundswell, glassy wind, and high energy will deliver Puerto at its finest—big, hollow, and powerful. For experts only on the biggest sets.
