Zepotonengo Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what Zepotonengo's got cooking for us. It's a bit of a slow start, but there's some real gems on the horizon if you're patient.

Saturday afternoon is a write-off, so don't even bother. The water temp is sitting at 87°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. We've got a bit of a wait, but Sunday morning, September 13th, things start to look up. The surf is small, around 2ft from the SW, but it's glassy – dead calm. The combined energy is moderate at 238. It's a beginner-friendly wave, and it'll be clean. Just keep an eye on the crowds as it can get busy sometimes.

Monday morning, September 14th, is another glassy one with a similar 2ft SW swell, but the energy is picking up a bit (423). The real standout, though, is Tuesday morning, September 15th. The swell is a bit better at 4ft from the SW with a 17-second period – that's proper groundswell. It's glassy, and the energy is strong (954). For a spot that's fairly consistent, this is a nice little window of clean waves.

But the absolute best of this first week is Wednesday morning, September 16th. We're looking at a 4ft SSW swell, glassy conditions, and a whopping energy reading of 1011. The period is a long 16 seconds, which gives it great shape. This is for the more experienced crew as it's a solid size, but it will be firing.

Thursday and Friday mornings also offer glassy conditions with solid 4ft and 2ft swells respectively. The following weekend, September 20th, Sunday morning looks excellent for experienced surfers with a 4ft SW swell, long 19-second period, and very strong energy (1156) under glassy skies. Then Monday, September 21st, another cracker for the experienced lot: 4ft SW swell, a cross-offshore breeze cleaning it up, and strong energy (1054).

Now, after a few days of smaller, glassy mornings, we get to the final weekend. Saturday, September 27th, is a big one. Sunday morning sees a solid 8ft SE groundswell with a 13-second period. The energy is extreme at 2627. The wind is light and glassy. This is expert territory for sure – big, powerful, and clean. It's a long way out, so don't book your flights yet, but it's a promising sign.

So, to wrap it up: if you want the cleanest, best-shaped waves, aim for the glassy mornings. The standout is Wednesday, September 16th, and the big Sunday, September 27th, is the one for the big dogs.

Rusty.
