Alright, Rusty here again, giving you the rundown for Tres Picos in feet and knots.
This is a slow start. Thursday afternoon's got some size – 5ft of SSW swell with a long 15-second period – but the wind is a solid cross-onshore at 12 knots, making a mess of it. The combined energy is high (1324), but honestly, it looks more like a kiteboarding session than a surf.
Friday and Saturday are a flat spell for quality. You've got 4ft to 5ft of swell, but it's all cross-on wind (SSW/S at 6-9 knots) leaving it bumpy and choppy. Not worth paddling out.
The first real window opens Sunday morning (July 5th). The wind turns light onshore from the SW at 6 knots, with a 3ft swell from the same direction. The period jumps to 20 seconds, so there's some serious groundswell energy in the water (1294). That long period can make it break a bit straight at a place like this, but with light wind, it's a legit option.
The clear standout is Monday morning, July 6th. We've got a cleaner 5ft SW swell with a solid 17-second period. Wind is light onshore from the WSW at 6 knots. The energy reading is pumping at 1793. That's going to be the best lines of the whole forecast – go get it.
The water is at 69°F, which is a full 5° warmer than usual. That's very unusual – super warm water.
After Monday, it drops. Tuesday morning (July 7th) still has some cleanish 5ft SW swell with light wind, but it’s smaller. From Wednesday, we hit a real lull. Swell drops under 4ft, winds stay cross-on, and the energy vanishes. There's a gap in quality from July 8th through July 11th with just small, choppy leftovers.
A small pulse comes through Monday, July 13th – a 4ft SSW swell with a 14-second period and energy of 1086. But it's cross-on, and the quality is only marginal.
Into the second week, around July 15-17, the swell picks back to 5ft, but the period drops to a short 10 seconds. Weaker, wind-affected waves. Energy drops to the 600-800 range. The best of that bunch is Thursday morning July 16th, with the wind going glassy-light onshore from the SSW at 3 knots, giving the 5ft S swell a chance, but the short period will keep it lumpy.
So here's the bottom line: Monday morning July 6th is the day. Get out there. The rest is mostly marginal and choppy.
Rusty.

Information about the Tres Picos Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Tres Picos provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Tres Picos can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Tres Picos 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 (Tres Picos) 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 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. 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.
