Rio Nexpa Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let's dial into Rio Nexpa for the next couple of weeks. We've got a tasty run of south-west groundswell on the cards, with a point break setup that just loves that direction. The water's sitting at a warm 88°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, so you can leave the fullsuit at home.

The action kicks off Friday July 10th. Early doors we have clean, glassy conditions with a 4ft SSW swell, a long 15-second period, and a nice bit of energy in the water (824). It’s looking like a real good session to start the day. The wind is set to swing onshore in the afternoon, so make the most of that morning window. The energy ticks up slightly to 861 in the arvo, but the quality drops off a cliff with the cross-on breeze.

Saturday the 11th is another early bird special. The ENE cross-off wind is going to have the waves clean and lined up at 4ft from the SSW, period still a long 15 seconds (703 energy). Again, you'll want to be in the water before lunch. Sunday morning (12th) is similar but with a chance of a thunderstorm overhead, though the ENE wind keeps things clean with 4ft SSW swell (662 energy).

For the standout through the middle of the week, lock in Monday July 13th morning. The swell drops a touch to 3ft from the SSW, but the light east wind has it glassy clean at the point (494 energy). It’s not the biggest, but the quality will be there.

Tuesday the 14th morning sees that ebb in size down to 3ft, but the glassy conditions from the ENE wind will make for some fun, small waves at the point (565 energy). A good one for the longboarders.

Now, for the real highlight of the outlook – keep an eye on Sunday July 19th. We get a jump back up to 4ft from the SW, and with a very long 17-second period, the energy jumps to 863. The morning window has a clean cross-off breeze, setting up what could be a proper session. This is a standout but being over a week out, it’s a promising call rather than a lock.

The run continues into the third week. Wednesday July 22nd morning picks up to 5ft SSW swell with a clean cross-off wind (687 energy). That’s a solid, clean swell for the point. Because it’s a point break, that long-period energy will wrap in nicely. The following Thursday morning, July 23rd, looks absolutely perfect with zero wind and a glassy 4ft SW swell (485 energy). That’s a morning to circle on the calendar for pure, clean conditions. And finally, Friday July 24th morning has a 5ft SSE swell with a clean offshore NE wind and big energy at 921. That’s a lot of water moving, so the point will be handling a good amount of power.

So, the best of the best? Friday July 10th morning for a classic start, Sunday the 19th for the big period groundswell potential, and Thursday the 23rd morning for near-perfect, glassy conditions.

Stay stoked, and I'll see you in the water.
