Zepotonengo Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s get into it. For the next couple of days, we’re in a bit of a holding pattern here at Zepotonengo. The real action kicks off on Saturday the 5th of July with a morning that’s a real treat. There’s a clean 4ft SSW groundswell rolling in with a long 17-second period, and the wind is glassy – dead calm. The swell energy reads at 1144 (moderate), so there’s some good push in those waves. The water temp is 88°, which runs a touch warmer than average for this time. That’s your standout session: clean, decent-sized surf, and with long-period groundswell, it’ll wrap in nicely. Expect some good lines, though it can get a little straight at beach breaks. Crowds are possible here sometimes.

Sunday afternoon turns messy with a risk of thunderstorms and a cross-onshore breeze that’ll chop things up – skip it.

Monday the 6th of July brings another glassy morning – 4ft SSW swell, 16-second period, energy climbs to 1487 (moderate). Excellent for experienced surfers. The afternoon goes cross-onshore with storm risks, so hit the early.

Tuesday the 7th of July is the biggest swell of the outlook: 6ft from the SSW with an 18-second period. Morning is glassy, and energy rockets up to 2160 (strong to very strong). That’s expert territory – over 5ft, so beginners sit it out. The afternoon gets onshore wind from the south.

Wednesday the 8th of July morning offers another clean one – 5ft SSW, 16-second period, glassy. Energy at 1409 (moderate). Afternoon turns cross-onshore.

From Thursday the 9th of July through mid-month, the swell backs down a little. Mornings are mostly glassy with 3ft to 4ft SSW swell, periods dropping from 15 to 13 seconds. Energy levels fall into the 600s and 500s (weak to moderate) as we get into the second week. Afternoons are often blown or messy – stick to the early.

Around the 13th and 14th of July, it gets smaller – swell drops under 3ft, and wind gets tricky. Not much to get excited about.

But on the 19th of July – Sunday morning – there’s a little revival: 3ft SSW groundswell, 13 seconds, glassy wind. Energy’s back up to 428 (weak), so it’s rideable but small. Afternoon’s cross-onshore.

The clear winner? Sunday the 5th of July morning. That’s the best you’ll see across the whole 16 days – good size, clean, and plenty of energy.
