Tenia Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks at Tenia. This reef setup is the only game in town right now, and boy, is it a rollercoaster.

Right off the bat, we’ve got a massive pulse of swell coming through. Tuesday morning the 7th of July is looking absolutely thumping, with a solid 11.5ft swell hammering in from the SSW. The energy is insane – we’re talking a combined energy reading in the thousands. Wind looks favorable that morning, and the direction is straight out of the optimum sweet spot. But let’s be real, this is a big wave day – well over 8ft. This is strictly for the seasoned crew, the guys who live for that kind of juice. The period’s a long 14 seconds, so it’ll have some serious grunt and long lulls between sets. The afternoon turns to junk with a 13.1ft monster and choppy cross-onshore wind, so Tuesday morning is the window if you’ve got the stones.

After that, the swell starts to drop, but the wind stays temperamental. Wednesday the 8th and Thursday the 9th still have plenty of size – 9.8ft to 8.2ft – but that persistent cross-onshore wind makes it a messy, choppy affair. Not worth getting wet for unless you’re desperate for a fight. Friday the 10th and Saturday the 11th drop further to the 5.2ft to 6.2ft range, but the cross-shore wind keeps things lumpy. There’s a brief glimmer on Saturday morning the 11th with a lighter 10 km/h breeze, but it’s still a bit tangled.

Now, Sunday morning the 12th of July is where we get a real standout. The swell drops to a clean 3.3ft from the SSW, period is okay at 10 seconds, but the wind goes glassy. Just a slight air, dead calm. That’s a rare treat for this spot, and it’ll be clean as a whistle. The energy is moderate, but for a clean, fun little wave, this is it. It’ll be a proper little reef wave with nobody hassling you if you’re lucky.

Monday morning the 13th is also glassy, but the swell’s tiny at 2.3ft, barely enough to push in. A long 17-second period on Sunday afternoon could bring a weird, straight wave, but it won’t be great.

The second week, from the 14th onwards, things go quiet. We’re looking at tiny 1.3ft to 3.3ft slop with mostly onshore or cross winds. A bit of a bump on the 17th of July brings 4.9ft swell, but the wind is howling at 30 km/h, making it a lumpy mess. Not exactly inspiring.

So, what’s the call? If you’re a ripper looking for a slab, Tuesday morning the 7th of July is your shot, but it’s big and heavy. For the rest of us after a clean, cruisy wave, Sunday morning the 12th of July is the real gem. The rest of the week is mostly a write-off with rough conditions. Water temp is about average for this time of year at 74.1°.

Stay stoked.
