The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let's talk about Tenexpa in feet and Fahrenheit for the rest of the crew.
Things kick off on Sunday the 30th. We're starting with a 5ft SW swell, period 14 seconds, and it's dead glass in the morning. Real clean, with some juice. The water is a balmy 88°, just a touch warmer than normal. That dawn session is the best on offer for the weekend. By the afternoon the wind turns cross-on and it gets choppy.
Monday the 31st, the swell drops to 4ft from the SW, still a decent 13-second period. Morning is clean with a light cross-off breeze. It's okay, not epic. The afternoon gets messy.
Tuesday the 1st of September, we hold at 4ft SW swell, 13 seconds. Morning is clean with light NW winds. Good session. Afternoons are a bust.
Wednesday the 2nd, swell drops to 3ft but the period stretches out to 16 seconds. That's a long period groundswell. The morning has a little cross-shore wind, but the energy is there. Afternoon turns to chop.
Thursday the 3rd, we wake up to glassy conditions with a 3ft SW swell at 15 seconds. Clean, sleepy little waves. Afternoon builds to 6ft from the SSW with a 17-second period, but it's cross-on and bumpy.
Friday the 4th of September is a standout. Morning brings a 6ft SW swell with a 17-second period, and glassy ESE winds. The wave energy is pumping at 1933. This one is for the experienced surfers. Clean, strong, and the wind is perfect. The afternoon goes onshore, so be there early.
Saturday the 5th, swell hangs around 5-6ft from the SSW, 16-second period. Morning has side-shore wind, so a bit rippled, but the energy is there. Afternoons are bumpy.
Sunday the 6th, swell drops to 5ft from the SSW, period back to 15 seconds. Morning has a risk of thunderstorms, but the wind is cross-off and clean. A good option.
Monday the 7th, 4ft SSW swell, 14 seconds. Glassy in the morning with light E winds. Real clean. Afternoons are a mess.
Tuesday the 8th, we drop to 2ft but with a very long 18-second period. Clean, glassy morning, but you'll want a longboard. Tiny but pretty.
Wednesday the 9th, back to 3ft SW swell, 16-second period, clean morning with light cross-off wind. Pleasant.
Thursday the 10th, another highlight. 4ft SW swell, 16-second period, and strong energy at 1495. Morning wind is cross-off from the NE, making it clean. Another one for the experienced crew.
The second week from the 11th of September is lighter. Friday the 11th has 4ft SW swell, but onshore winds ruin the afternoon. Saturday the 12th, 3ft from the SW, clean morning and a glassy finish. Sunday the 13th, down to 3ft from the SW, still clean in the morning. Monday the 14th wraps it up with a tiny 2ft, 18-second period swell, glassy morning.
The two best calls are the mornings of the 4th and 10th of September. Solid, clean, long-period SW swell with perfect wind. Get on it.
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.
