Alright, Rusty here, giving you the lowdown in feet and degrees for the same local stretch – Zepotonengo.
The first few days are looking solid with waist-to-shoulder high surf. Starting Thursday July 2nd through Friday the 3rd, we’re seeing waves around 4ft to 4ft from the SSW. The energy is moderate. Friday morning is the real catch: a light offshore wind out of the north at 3 mph, and the water’s running about 88°F, a touch warmer than the average for the time of year. The swell period is a nice and long 14 seconds, so that’s proper groundswell coming in. Clean conditions for a beginner-friendly break.
But the big standout is Sunday July 5th. Swell holds at 4ft from the SSW with a 17-second period, and it’s glassy – zero wind. The combined energy is strong. That’s going to be a morning for experienced surfers. The long period suits the point break and the sets will be well-spaced, making it easier to get out back.
Monday the 6th morning is another glassy beauty – same 4ft swell, 16-second period, and very strong energy. It’s a repeat winner for an early paddle.
Then things get messy. Tuesday the 7th jumps to about 6ft of swell, but the wind turns cross-shore and picks up to 16 mph, making it choppy by the afternoon. Wednesday the 8th still has 6ft, but it’s cross-wind. Thursday the 9th morning cleans up again with a light cross-offshore breeze, a good call for 4ft surf.
Into the second week, the surf drops off. After the 13th, waves fall below 3ft consistently, and the wind is mostly cross-onshore or messy. There’s a short window on Tuesday the 14th with glassy 3ft, and Wednesday the 15th with 2ft glassy, but nothing to write home about.
Best bet: Sunday the 5th or Monday the 6th, first light. That’s the peak. The rest is a waiting game, but forecasts change. Stay tuned.
Rusty.

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.
