Tenexpa Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what’s coming for Tenexpa over the next couple of weeks.

The next couple of weeks look pretty tasty for Tenexpa, especially for those who can handle a bit of size. We’ve got a solid, consistent run of SSW groundswell rolling in, and it’s gonna be a tale of two parts: plenty of clean, glassy mornings for the patient surfer, but the afternoons are going to get chopped up by onshore breezes. Morning sessions are the key here.

Sunday the 6th kicks it off with a bang. That early morning glass-off is a gift – the ocean is dead calm with zero wind. We’ve got a solid 5 feet of SSW swell, with a period of 15 seconds (combined energy of 1093), so there’s real power in the water. That is proper, groundswell energy. It’s a little over 5 feet, so it’s edging into “experienced surfers only” territory, but the 15-second period will mean longer lulls and better shaped lines – point breaks will be your best friend here. The water is sitting at a very warm 88°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so booties won’t be needed. Sunday afternoon is written off, though – cross-onshore breeze messes things up.

Monday morning the 7th is cleaner with a cross-offshore breeze and still a decent 4 feet swell, but the period is down to 14 seconds. It’s still good. It’s the mornings that carry the week. Tuesday morning the 8th brings another glassy session with 3 feet, but the period stretches to 13 seconds. It’s not massive, but that clean, glassy condition with a bit of period is a treat.

There’s a real standout coming up on Tuesday the 15th. The early morning on the 15th is showing 5 feet of clean SSW swell with a very long 18-second period (combined energy of 1210). The wind is glassy from the ENE. This is high-end groundswell – really long lines, lully but plenty of grunt. If you can paddle, it’s going to be excellent. That 18-second period at a beach break might close out a bit, so you’ll want to find a bank that holds the long lines, or slide down to one of the points. This is the best on offer in the whole window.

After that, the pattern holds. The mornings on the 16th, 17th, and right through to the 21st all offer glassy or very light wind conditions with consistent 4 to 4 feet SSW groundswell. The 21st morning is another potential barnstormer with 4 feet and a 17-second period (combined energy of 1157). That’s another expert-level morning for sure.

The afternoons in the second week are a write-off again, all cross-on or onshore breezes. The crowds for Tenexpa are listed as “sometimes,” so you won’t always be alone, but on those prime glassy mornings, you might find a few other heads. Nothing too wild.

So, the call is simple: set the alarm for the morning. The 15th and 21st stand out as the real heavy hitter days, but pretty much every morning from now has something worthwhile. There’s not a bad day in the run if you get up early enough.

Stay stoked, friends.
