Tenexpa Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking at Tenexpa over the next couple of weeks.

We’ve got a solid run of surf coming up, starting Sunday morning, 9th August. The water is sitting at 88°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you’ll be in for a pleasant paddle.

The first few days are consistent. Sunday morning kicks off with 4ft of SSW swell at 14 seconds, and a glassy offshore wind from the NW – that’s going to be clean. The combined swell energy is moderate at 585. Monday morning looks similar, 4ft of SSW swell, again glassy, and the energy bumps up a notch to 654. Tuesday morning is the early standout: 3ft of SSW swell, but the wind is dead calm, glassy, and the energy is climbing to 977. That’s going to be some beautiful, clean, long-period groundswell. The period is 18 seconds, so this is a proper long-period groundswell. It’s going to be best for the point and reef setups here, as long-period swell can be a bit straight at the beach, but the quality will be there.

Wednesday and Thursday mornings keep the good times rolling with clean, glassy conditions and 3ft to 3ft of SW swell. The energy stays moderate.

Now, Friday 14th August is where it gets interesting. The morning shows 4ft of SW swell at 18 seconds, glassy, and the combined energy jumps to 1362 – that’s a strong energy level. This is the first real standout: excellent conditions for experienced surfers. The afternoon keeps the swell size up at 5ft, but the wind goes cross-on, so morning is the window.

Saturday 15th August morning is another standout. We’ve got 5ft of SW swell, glassy, and strong energy at 1179. This is the best on offer for the whole forecast. It’s a solid size for intermediates, but for the experienced crew, this is going to be firing. The period is 16 seconds, so it’s still a quality groundswell.

The following week holds up well. Sunday 16th to Thursday 20th mornings are all clean, with swell hanging around 3ft to 4ft from the SW and SSW. The energy dips back to moderate levels, but the winds are light and offshore or glassy, so plenty of fun waves.

Friday 21st August brings a change: 5ft of SSE swell, but the period drops to 10 seconds. That’s a shorter-period wind swell, but it’s clean with a cross-off wind. The energy is moderate at 668.

Saturday 22nd August afternoon sees a bigger 5ft of SW swell, with the energy jumping to 1118, but the wind is cross-shore, so it’s not as clean.

The final Sunday 23rd August morning is a cracker: 3ft of SSW swell at a very long 19 seconds, glassy, with strong energy at 1212. That’s a lovely, long-period groundswell to finish the run. After that, Monday 24th morning still has clean 3ft of SW swell.

Overall, the best windows are definitely the mornings of Friday 14th and Saturday 15th August for the bigger, cleaner swell. The consistent, glassy mornings throughout the first week and a half are hard to beat. This is a great stretch for the area, so don’t sleep on it.

Rusty.
