Tenia Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s see what we’ve got here for Tenia.

Alright, this is a bit of a mixed bag. The next few days are a real tease, with some decent swell but the wind is often in the wrong place. The real standout is a promising window towards the end of the second week, but it’s a long way off.

Things start off on Tuesday, July 28th with a solid 7 ft SSW groundswell at 12 seconds, and the combined energy is a hefty 1407. That’s some serious power. But the wind is a cross-off ESE at 16 mph, which just isn't ideal. It’s surfable, but not the cleanest. The afternoon drops a little to 6 ft, still with 19 mph wind, it’s a bit of a fight.

Wednesday, July 29th, is smaller but cleaner. The morning has 4 ft from the S at 10 seconds, energy down to 418, but the wind is a light 6 mph cross-off. It’s a better prospect for a fun session, but nothing to get too excited about. The afternoon gets cross.

Thursday, July 30th, is a gem in the short term. We’ve got a glassy 2 ft to 3 ft SSW groundswell with a very long 16-second period. The energy is low at 492, but the wind is dead calm, glassy. That’s perfect for a clean, longboard-style wave. The water temperature is about average for this time of year.

Friday, July 31st, morning is also glassy with a 3 ft SSW swell, 14 seconds, and totally calm wind. That’s another good window for a clean, easy session. The afternoon gets a bit cross.

Things get messy from Saturday, August 1st, through Monday, August 3rd. The swell picks up to 6 ft to 8 ft, and the energy is pumping – we’re talking 1788 to 2092. But the wind is a strong, lumpy cross-shore from the SSE and SE at 19-22 mph. It’s a washing machine. For a reef break like Tenia, that’s going to be a choppy, bumpy mess. The Tuesday, August 4th, is cleaner but the swell drops right off to 3 ft.

The real standout is a long way off, on Tuesday, August 11th. The afternoon session shows a 8 ft SE swell, 12-second period, with a huge combined energy of 1893. And the wind? It’s a gentle offshore from the NE at 9 mph. That’s the recipe for an epic, clean, powerful wave. This is a proper swell, so it’s going to be for experienced surfers only. It’s a promising call, but still a couple of weeks away, so keep an eye on it.

The Wednesday morning, August 12th, is also clean with an offshore wind, but the swell is tiny at 2 ft.

Overall, the best bet in the near term is the glassy, clean conditions on Thursday the 30th and Friday the 31st for some small, tidy waves. The long-range promise on August 11th afternoon is the one to dream on.
