Zepotonengo Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright mate, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ at Zepotonengo over the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, we’ve got a run of small but clean conditions coming through. Sunday morning, July 12th, kicks off with a 4ft SSW swell, period around 14 seconds, and glassy conditions with the wind off the ESE at just 3 mph. That’s proper smooth, clean surf. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so nothing weird there. The combined swell energy is sitting at 698 (moderate), so there’s a bit of push behind it. This is a good, gentle start for beginners.

Monday morning, July 13th, is even better: flat calm, zero wind, 3ft SSW swell, solid 13-second period, and the energy is up to 755 (moderate). Glassy, clean, and fun. The best of the first few days.

Things drop off a little Tuesday and Wednesday mornings, with 3ft SSW swell, but still glassy, so if you’re happy on a longboard, you’ll get some cruisy ones.

Now, the real standout is Monday morning, July 20th. We’ve got a 4ft SW swell, period a solid 16 seconds, and it’s dead calm – zero wind, glassy. The combined energy jumps to 1025 (strong), and it’s rated excellent for experienced surfers. That’s the session to aim for if you can. The swell direction is right on the money for this break, too.

Sunday morning, July 19th, is also a beauty: 3ft SW, 17-second period, zero wind, glassy, and the energy is 816 (moderate). Very clean.

Then things get bigger. Saturday morning, July 25th, shows a 4ft SW swell with a very long 21-second period. But the wind is cross-shore from the east at 6 mph, so it’s a bit rippled. The energy is 1478 (strong). Not the cleanest, but still a lot of water moving.

Sunday morning, July 26th, is the big one. 5ft SW swell, 19-second period, and light cross-offshore wind from the NW at 3 mph. That’s clean. The energy is a massive 2386 (strong). This is only for experienced surfers – it’s too big for beginners. The long period means it’ll be powerful, with long gaps between sets. Best on a point or reef.

And finally, Monday morning, July 27th, the swell is 12ft from the SSE, but with a short 11-second period. The wind is cross-offshore, but the forecast says it’s too big for this break. That’s a pass unless you’re a total charger, and even then, it might be a mess.

Overall, the best windows are Monday morning July 20th and Sunday morning July 26th. The first is glassy and solid, the second is bigger and heavier. The rest of the time, it’s small and clean for the early sessions, with afternoons getting blown out or messy. There’s no real long gap with no surf – plenty of mornings to get out.

Rusty.
