Table - best surf conditions forecast for Tercera Ponte over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
Right off the bat, Friday the 10th is a total write-off – messy, choppy, onshore junk. Not worth paddling out for. The wait is on.
Saturday morning the 11th is where it all comes together. Glassy conditions at Tercera Ponte, with a clean 4ft swell pushing in from the southeast. That 13-second period is a nice groundswell, giving you some real push and shape. The combined energy is moderate at 521. This is easily the best of the week. Get out there early, because the afternoon gets wrecked by a strong cross-onshore breeze.
Sunday morning the 12th is still a good call – clean with a light offshore wind from the north, a 3ft southeast swell, and a 12-second period. The energy is moderate (295). It’s a notch down from Saturday, but still a solid session. Monday morning the 13th offers gentle offshore winds and a clean 3ft swell, but the energy is weak (179) – it’s a small, fun wave for the loggers.
The middle of the week is a bit of a mess. Tuesday the 14th is tiny and weak. Wednesday the 15th brings a pulse of 7ft from the SSE, but it’s accompanied by onshore winds and a risk of thunderstorms. The period is short and fat (8 seconds), so it’s just a junky, blown-out mess. Not for paddling – that’s more of a kite session if you’re into that.
The following week is a long stretch of poor to average conditions. There’s a small window of hope on Wednesday the 22nd. The morning is glassy again with a 6ft swell from the east-southeast, but the period is a short 8 seconds. The energy is strong (650), so there’s power, but it’s a bit of a close-out machine at a beach break. It’s the best of the second week, but it’s a gamble.
Overall, the standout is clear: Saturday morning, July 11th. Glassy, 4ft of southeast swell, and a clean lineup. That’s your window. The rest of the forecast is a lot of waiting.
Rusty.

Information about the Tercera Ponte Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Tercera Ponte provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Tercera Ponte can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Tercera Ponte surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Tercera Ponte) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Tercera Ponte may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
