Alright, let’s break it down. Tres Picos is the spot we’re watching, and it’s a pretty exposed break that’ll pick up most of the south-west swell. Water temp is about normal for this time of year, nothing unusual.
The real action kicks off Monday, July 6th. We’ve got a 5ft SW groundswell rolling in with a long 17-second period, dropping to 16 seconds later. That’s proper groundswell—energy is strong, like 1852 in the morning and 1572 in the afternoon. The wind is light offshore from the WSW and SSW, so it’ll be clean and glassy. The only catch is the tide might be fussy, so pick your time. Monday morning is the best of this whole 16-day run. The 5ft is fun for most folks, not too heavy for beginners but enough to get a good one.
Tuesday, July 7th, drops a bit: 5ft from the SW, period still solid at 16 seconds, energy at 1190. Morning wind is light offshore from the SW—clean. The afternoon gets a cross-onshore breeze from the SSW at 15 km/h, which’ll mess it up a bit. Morning is the call.
From Wednesday, July 8th, through Saturday, July 12th, the swell fades to 3ft to 5ft, periods between 13 and 16 seconds. The wind goes cross-onshore from the S and SSW mostly, making it choppy. Energy is moderate, between 567 and 988. It’s not a total washout, but you’ll be working for it.
Sunday, July 13th, offers a little hope: 4ft SSW swell at 15 seconds, light offshore wind from the SW in the morning, energy at 724. Tide might be an issue, but it could be a quiet one.
Into the second week—July 14th to 19th—it’s a slow stretch. Swells are 3ft to 4ft, periods dropping to 12-14 seconds, energy mostly under 700. The S and SSW cross-onshore winds don’t let up. Nothing to get excited about.
Monday, July 20th, sees a 6ft south swell, but it’s a short 8-second wind swell—messy, weak energy at 637. Tuesday, July 21st, fades to a 3ft SW swell with bad onshore wind. Not worth your time.
The only true standout is Monday morning, July 6th. That’s your best shot. After that, it’s slim pickings.

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 Tres Picos 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.
