Zepotonengo Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin' for Zepotonengo.

We’ve got a solid run of surf ahead, starting now and stretching all the way through the 16-day window. The first few days are small but clean, and the second week shapes up to be the real highlight with some proper size rolling in. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing weird going on there.

First up, Thursday morning the 6th of August. It’s a slow start with waves only 2ft from the SW, but the wind is light cross-off from the WNW and the conditions are clean. The combined energy is moderate (212). Not a standout, but it’s a nice little warm-up for beginners.

Friday morning the 7th of August is where it starts to get interesting. The swell bumps up to 3ft from the SSW, and with a very long period of 18 seconds, that’s a proper groundswell. Wind is light cross-off from the WNW again, so it’s clean. Combined energy is moderate (686). This is a good one for a point break or reef, as that long period can make beach breaks a bit straight.

Saturday morning the 8th of August is a beauty. The swell is 4ft from the SSW, period at 16 seconds, and the wind is glassy – zero from the E. Combined energy is moderate (781). This is clean, calm, and the waves will have good shape. A real gem.

Sunday morning the 9th of August keeps the run going with 4ft from the SSW, 14-second period, and light cross-off from the NW. Combined energy is moderate (606). Clean and fun.

Monday morning the 10th of August is another glassy morning, with 3ft from the SSW, 13-second period. Combined energy is moderate (591). Perfect conditions for a long session.

Tuesday morning the 11th of August is glassy again, 3ft from the SSW with that very long 18-second period. Combined energy is moderate (763). Clean as a whistle.

Wednesday morning the 12th of August stays glassy, 3ft from the SW, 16-second period. Combined energy is moderate (502). Still nice.

Thursday morning the 13th of August is glassy with 3ft from the SW, 15-second period. Combined energy is moderate (517). Another clean morning.

Now, the big news. Friday morning the 14th of August is the standout of the whole run. The swell hits 5ft from the SW with a very long 18-second period, and the wind is glassy from the W. Combined energy is strong (1413). This is excellent surf, but it’s pushing into the 5ft mark, so beginners might find it a bit much. For experienced surfers, this is a dream session. The crowd is sometimes present, so expect a few others out.

Saturday morning the 15th of August is another cracker. The swell is 5ft from the SW, 16-second period, and glassy from the ESE. Combined energy is strong (1207). Again, excellent for experienced surfers.

Sunday morning the 16th of August drops back a bit to 4ft from the SW, 15-second period, glassy from the S. Combined energy is moderate (701). Still very good.

Monday morning the 17th of August is glassy with 4ft from the SW, 14-second period. Combined energy is moderate (549). Clean and fun.

Tuesday morning the 18th of August is glassy again, 4ft from the SW, 14-second period. Combined energy is moderate (506). Nice.

Wednesday morning the 19th of August sees 3ft from the SSW, 15-second period, glassy from the W. Combined energy is moderate (535). Good.

Thursday morning the 20th of August is glassy with 3ft from the SSW, 14-second period. Combined energy is moderate (359). Good.

Finally, Friday morning the 21st of August wraps it up with 4ft from the SSW, 14-second period, glassy from the SE. Combined energy is moderate (711). Very good.

The best bet is undoubtedly Friday the 14th and Saturday the 15th of August for the biggest, cleanest, most powerful waves. If you’re an experienced surfer, that’s your window.

Rusty.
