Tenexpa Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Hey there, Rusty here. Tenexpa is looking like a steady run of surf over the next couple of weeks, and this place knows how to handle a good SSW swell. It’s an exposed, consistent break, and the water’s running at 31°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so no need for heavy rubber.

First call is Sunday morning, July 19th. We’ve got a clean 1.0m SW swell with a very long 17-second period. That’s pure groundswell energy, and with a light cross-offshore breeze from the NW, it’ll be nice and organized. Combined wave energy is moderate (819), and the long period means longer lulls between sets—great for getting out back. Crowds can show up sometimes, though.

Monday the 20th morning is the big standout. The swell bumps to 1.3m from the SW, still with a long 16-second period, and the wind goes glassy from the NNW. Combined energy jumps to 1055—strong stuff. This is one of those mornings where everything lines up: smooth, powerful lines with zero wind chop. It’s an excellent session for experienced surfers.

Tuesday the 21st morning keeps the quality high with 1.1m SW swell and glassy conditions, combined energy at 798. Just watch for thunderstorms rolling in later that could mess with the afternoon.

Friday the 24th morning brings 0.8m from the SSW with an exceptionally long 24-second period—deep ocean energy. Combined energy is 852 and the wind is glassy. This kind of long-period swell is best handled on the point or reef, where it’ll reel off beautifully. Not so much for the beach breaks.

Saturday the 25th morning is another standout. Clean 1.1m SW swell, 21-second period (very long), and a cross-off wind from the east. Combined energy is 1814—very strong. This is one for the experienced crew.

Sunday the 26th morning gets serious—1.6m SSW swell at 18 seconds with a cross-off ENE breeze. Combined energy hits 2995. It’s big, but clean and powerful.

Monday the 27th morning is the peak of the run. We’re looking at 2.5m SSW swell—expert territory. Period is 13 seconds, combined energy is 3756 (extremely high), and the ENE cross-off wind holds it together. This is not for beginners.

Tuesday the 28th morning still has plenty of punch—2.0m SSW swell, 17-second period, cross-off east wind, combined energy at 3428. Still clean, still big.

From Wednesday the 29th, the swell slowly drops, but mornings stay glassy or clean with light winds through early August. By August 3rd, we’re down to 0.7m but with a long 17-second period, so there’s still shape in the water.

Best on offer: Monday the 20th morning for that perfect glassy, long-period SW swell, and Saturday the 25th morning for the bigger, very long-period SSW groundswell with clean winds. Those are your two gold windows.

Rusty out.
