Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s talk about the waves on offer here at Zepotonengo.
We’ve got a long run of surf on the table, but don't get too excited too fast. The first couple of days are messy, with a storm threat and questionable conditions. The real standout window kicks off on the morning of the 8th, with clean, glassy chest-high swell and a solid 16-second period – that's proper groundswell energy making for a clean, lined-up ride. That morning looks like the best of the entire run for a quality session, and the water is sitting at a warm 88°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
However, with a period that long, the sets will be wide spaced, and at a beach set-up, the waves might not barrel as perfectly as they would at a point or reef. The swell direction is SSW, right in the optimum zone for this spot, and the wave energy is strong – measuring up to 1865 (combined energy) on Tuesday morning. Good luck getting it to yourself though; the crowds are listed as “sometimes,” so you might have a few locals out for the glass.
For beginners, the morning of the 9th is a solid call – waist-high swell and glassy conditions – a great introduction to a clean wave. The Saturday morning on the 11th is another gem: dead calm, clean, and shoulder-high waves with a long period. Over the second week, the surf starts to fade, but there are still a few window cleaners. The morning of the 18th offers a small, glassy, very clean wave under 2ft but with a period over 17 seconds, and the morning of the 20th looks promising again with chest-high swell, offshore wind, and glassy water. That 20th morning is a long-range call, so keep an eye on the charts, but the ingredients are right.
The big gaps? There aren't any real dead zones here; just some afternoons that get chopped up from the wind or a storm threat. Overall, the week has potential, but stick to those mornings.
Stay stoked,
Rusty

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.
