The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here, checking in on the outlook for the next couple of weeks.

We’re looking at a solid pulse of energy coming in for The Rock-Costa Azul, but you’ve got to pick your moments. The week kicks off with a bit of a wait, but the real standout is Tuesday the 28th, and then there’s a solid run of cleaner, smaller waves later in the second week.

The first real action hits on Monday the 27th. The morning is a bit average with a 5 ft SSW swell and a light cross-shore breeze making things a little messy. The water is a toasty 87°, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year. The afternoon improves a bit with a 7 ft swell from the S and a moderate cross-offshore wind, cleaning things up. The combined wave energy is strong (3228).

Tuesday the 28th is the clear standout. Early morning is going to be pumping, but it’s a serious one. We’ve got a 10 ft SSW groundswell with a very long 16-second period, and the combined energy is massive (6118). The wind is light and cross-shore, but the swell is so big that this break is only for advanced surfers. It’s a reef setup, so that long-period energy will be working well, but it’s going to be a handful. The afternoon sees a drop to 8 ft, with a moderate offshore wind from the W making it clean, but it’s still a powerful wave.

Wednesday the 29th sees the swell drop to 6 ft in the morning, but it’s back to a light cross-shore wind, making it so-so. The afternoon has a fresh offshore breeze from the WNW, but the swell is down to 5 ft.

Thursday the 30th is a good call for the afternoon. The morning has a 4 ft swell with a light cross-shore, but the afternoon cleans right up with a 4 ft SSW swell and a moderate offshore wind from the W. The energy is still moderate (1029), and it’s an excellent option for experienced surfers.

Friday the 31st is small and clean in the afternoon – 4 ft from the SSW with a light cross-offshore breeze. You’ll get a few.

After that, the first week of August sees a major drop-off. From the 1st of August through to the 6th, the swell gets tiny, mostly under 3 ft, and the energy is weak. There are a few clean afternoons on the 2nd and 3rd with offshore winds, but the waves are small. It’s a real lull.

Things pick up again on Friday the 7th of August. The morning shows a 3 ft SSW swell with a long 18-second period, and by the afternoon, a light cross-offshore wind from the W makes it clean. The 8th of August is also a nice one: Saturday morning has a 4 ft swell, and the afternoon is clean with a 3 ft SSW swell and a light cross-offshore breeze. Sunday the 9th of August is glassy in the afternoon with a tiny 3 ft swell – perfect for a fun, small-wave session.

The following week, from the 10th of August, the swell stays small, around 2 ft to 3 ft, but the period is very long (18-20 seconds), so there’s some deep ocean energy. The winds are mostly light, so it’s worth checking, but it’s not a standout.

Your best bet this period is without a doubt Tuesday morning the 28th if you’re a seasoned charger, or the clean, smaller windows on Thursday the 30th afternoon and the 7th-9th of August.

Rusty.

Information about the The Rock-Costa Azul Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for The Rock-Costa Azul provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at The Rock-Costa Azul can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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 The Rock-Costa Azul 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.
