Tenia Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, this is Rusty comin' at ya from the beach. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for Tenia over the next couple of weeks.

We've got a bit of a slow start, but once it kicks off, this spot has some serious potential, especially for those who can handle a bit of power. The water is sitting at a pleasant 74°, which is pretty much spot on for this time of year, so no shock to the system there.

The action really gets going this Friday, the 17th. It's a gentle start with 3ft swell from the SSW. The real story is the wind – glassy, dead calm, just a whisper of air. The wave energy is moderate (373), but the conditions will be clean as a whistle. It's a reef break, so expect a proper line, and the 12-second period gives it some shape. It's a good one to get the weekend started.

Saturday the 18th is where it steps up. The swell pushes to 4ft-4ft from the same SSW direction, but the period jumps to a long 17 seconds. That's proper groundswell energy. The wind is offshore, light and clean, making for some really nice, lined-up waves. The energy is climbing into the strong range by the afternoon (1174). This is a standout window for sure.

Sunday the 19th has some serious size and power, with 5ft swell and a very long 20-21 second period. The energy is pumping (2549). But, and it's a big but, we've got heavy rain and a strong cross-offshore wind. The wave quality is still there for experienced surfers, but the conditions are a bit more challenging. Tenia is a reef, so that long period will wrap in nicely, but you'll be dealing with some wind.

We get a sweet little window again on Monday the 20th. The morning is glassy again with a 5ft SSW swell and an 18-second period. The energy is solid (1340). Another clean, powerful session is on the cards. The afternoon gets a bit cross-shore, so make the most of the morning.

From Tuesday the 21st through to the end of the week, things get messy. Strong cross-shore winds, lumpy chop, and the swell direction starts shifting around. The energy drops off, and the quality just isn't there for a good paddle. It's a full blown blank spell from the 21st to the 25th of July. Not worth suiting up for.

We get a slight pulse back on Sunday the 26th with a 5ft swell, but it's cross-onshore, so it's a marginal call.

The next true standout is a long way off, but it's a cracker. Look at Thursday the 30th of July. The morning is glassy again, with a 4ft SSW swell and a 16-second period. The energy is strong (1400). It's a repeat of the good stuff from the first weekend. This is the one to circle on the calendar, but it's a long way out, so treat it as a promising rumour for now.

Then we wrap up the run on Saturday the 1st of August. Glassy conditions again in the morning, with a 5ft swell from the SSW and a 15-second period. The energy is strong (1070). The afternoon gets a bit of cross-shore wind, but that morning window is a beauty.

So, the standout sessions are the mornings of this Saturday the 18th, Monday the 20th, and the long-range promise of Thursday the 30th. Get on it when the wind is light and the swell is from the SSW.

Rusty.
