The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here again. Let’s run through the same outlook for Zepotonengo in feet and miles per hour.
Water temp is 87°F, a touch warmer than normal. Nice and comfortable.
Monday morning, August 10th, we start with 3ft SSW groundswell at 13 seconds. Glassy conditions, a light W wind at 3 mph, and moderate energy (575). Clean waist-high waves for the beginners.
Tuesday morning, August 11th, is a real gem. Flat calm, no wind at all. A 3ft SW swell with an 18-second period and healthy energy (884). The sets will have some real push, and the long period makes the paddle out easy. Clean and inviting.
Friday morning, August 14th, is the top pick of the whole run. A 4ft SW groundswell, 18-second period, glassy as a mirror, and pumping energy at 1138. This is for the experienced crew – powerful, well-shaped, and perfectly lined up with the optimum SSW direction. Absolute magic.
Saturday morning, August 15th, is a close second. Swell hits 5ft SW with 16-second periods, energy at 1192, and flat glass. This is expert territory – solid overhead, clean, and relentless.
The afternoons get a bit sloppy with a cross-onshore breeze, but the mornings keep delivering through the 18th and beyond. Thursday, August 20th, sees a change to a shorter 9-second SSE swell at 4ft, still glassy in the morning and fun.
Late August mornings remain clean but small – waist to chest-high with light winds. By Tuesday, August 25th, we’re down to 2ft and weak energy (385), but still glassy.
Best windows: August 14th and 15th mornings. Clean, solid swell, and glassy. Might get a crowd, so paddle out early.
Rusty out.

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