The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here, looking at the 16-day window for the Tenexpa area. We’ve got a solid run of surf coming up, especially for the more experienced among you. The water is sitting at 88°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you can leave the thick wetsuit at home.
Right off the bat, the real standout is the first few days. Sunday the 26th, we’re waking up to some serious energy. The swell is a solid 5ft out of the SW, with a very long period of 18 seconds. That’s proper groundswell energy (1912) pushing in. The wind is a light NNE breeze at 3 mph, making it glassy. This is excellent, clean surf for experienced surfers at Tenexpa. The long period will mean longer waits between sets, but the shape should be excellent, especially if you can find a bank that handles it. Just be aware, with a consistent break and a standout forecast, expect crowds here.
Monday the 27th and Tuesday the 28th are looking just as good. Monday morning is glassy again with 6ft SW swell, and Tuesday pumps up to 7ft from the SSW. The energy jumps to 2539 by Tuesday morning, which is powerful. The wind stays light and offshore (NE) in the mornings, keeping things glassy. This is big, powerful surf – over 5ft and pushing towards 7ft, so it’s really for experienced surfers only. The afternoons turn a bit cross-onshore, so definitely get your sessions in early.
We see the pattern hold through Wednesday the 29th and Thursday the 30th with clean, glassy mornings and solid 5ft to 6ft SSW swell. The energy is still strong, dropping from 1740 to 1048. The wind is calm or light offshore, making for perfect conditions.
Into the first week of August, the swell starts to ease. Friday the 31st still has a fun 4ft SSW swell with glassy conditions in the morning. The energy is down to 639, but it’s still clean. From Saturday the 1st of August onwards, the swell drops below 3ft, and the afternoons get chopped up by onshore wind. The mornings still offer some glassy, clean waves for a smaller board, but the energy is weak (under 500).
There is a gap of a few days with very small, weak surf before we see a pulse of new energy. Then, around Friday the 7th of August, we get a nice little spike. The morning of the 7th has 3ft SSW swell, but with a very long period of 18 seconds and glassy conditions. The energy jumps back to 729. It’s a promising sign. Saturday the 8th and Sunday the 9th of August look even better, with 4ft to 4ft SSW swell, glassy mornings, and solid energy (876 on Saturday). This is a long-range call, so it’s promising but less certain than the first week. Still, it’s the best bet for the second week if you’re planning ahead.
Rusty.

Information about the Tenexpa Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Tenexpa provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Tenexpa can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Tenexpa surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Tenexpa) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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 Tenexpa 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.
