Puerto Viejo Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright crew, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what Puerto Viejo has lined up for the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, we’ve got a solid run of consistent waves coming in. The water temp is bang on for this time of year, no surprises. Overall, it’s a pattern of moderate, clean swells rolling through, with a couple of standout days that are gonna be real special.

Things start on Friday the 3rd, but it’s a bit touch and go. The wave energy is moderate (683) but you’ve got a light cross-shore wind messing with it a bit. Afternoon cleans up when that wind shifts offshore. By Saturday the 4th, it’s looking a whole lot better. The morning brings a clean 4 ft SSW swell with a light cross-offshore breeze, and the energy is building nicely (701). That's when the weekend gets real interesting.

Now, the true standout – Sunday the 5th is the one to circle. The morning is glassy with a tiny 5 km/h breeze and a clean 2 ft SW groundswell. That period jumps to 20 seconds, so we’re talking proper, long-period groundswell. By the afternoon, it’s a clean 4 ft SW swell with a gentle offshore wind and the energy is pumping hard (1057). This is the kind of day that gets you out of bed before the sun – clean, well-shaped waves, and those long lulls between sets make paddling out a breeze. With that long period, the point and reef sections are where you’ll get the best rides.

After that, the first week of the second week, from the 8th through the 13th, keeps serving up clean, rideable waves. Expect consistent 3 ft to 4 ft SSW to SW swells with mostly light offshore or cross-offshore winds. The crowd situation at Puerto Viejo can be a bit busy, so get out early for the best ones. The 13th of July is another nice little bump with a solid 4 ft SSW groundswell and clean conditions all day.

The second week settles into a fun, reliable pattern. The 14th and 15th keep things clean and consistent with 3 ft to 3 ft SSW swells, perfect for a long, mellow session. There’s a hiccup on Friday the 17th – a cross-onshore wind messes up the shape, so that’s a day for a cold one and watching from the beach. The run finishes strong on Saturday the 18th with a clean 3 ft SSW swell and a light cross-offshore breeze, a solid way to wrap up.

Bottom line: Lock in Sunday the 5th as your best shot, then keep an eye on the 13th. The whole first week is gold. Second week is more of a fun, easy groove. A solid period for Puerto Viejo.

Stay stoked,
Rusty
