Zepotonengo Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Zepotonengo over the next couple of weeks.

We’ve got a solid run of surf coming up, starting Friday 3 July. The water’s sitting at 31°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s nice. The first couple of days are a bit of a mixed bag, but if you pick the windows, you’ll get some clean ones.

Friday 3 July morning kicks things off with a glassy 4ft SW swell, 14-second period, and combined energy of 732 – moderate. It’s calm, clean, and the waves should be pretty user-friendly. A good one for beginners to get out. The afternoon turns cross-on and choppy, so not great.

Saturday 4 July morning is more of the same: glassy, 4ft SSW swell at 15 seconds, energy at 769, and some clouds. It’s a nice, clean window. The afternoon drops off a bit.

Now, here’s where it gets interesting. Sunday 5 July morning is a standout. We’ve got a 4ft SSW swell at 17 seconds, with strong energy of 1144. It’s glassy, calm, and the report says excellent surf for experienced surfers. That’s your pick of the first week – a proper long-period groundswell, so it’ll have shape and power. A little too much for beginners though, with the size and period.

Monday 6 July morning is another ripper: glassy again, 4ft SSW, 16-second period, and energy jumping to 1487 (strong). Excellent conditions for experienced surfers. These morning windows are gold.

Tuesday 7 July morning pushes up a bit: 6ft SSW at 18 seconds, energy 2158 – that’s strong to very strong. It’s glassy, but this size with that long period is only for experts. The afternoon brings cross-on wind and risk of thunderstorms, so get it early.

Wednesday 8 July morning holds at 6ft SSW, 16 seconds, energy 1564, still glassy. Excellent for experienced surfers again. After that, the week tails off with smaller swell and less consistent conditions.

Thursday 9 July through to Monday 13 July offers a mix of smaller, cleaner mornings and choppy afternoons. The mornings with glassy conditions and 3ft to 4ft SSW swell are worth a paddle, but nothing huge.

Tuesday 14 July sees a drop in quality with choppier winds and smaller swell. Wednesday 15 July morning is a surprise: glassy with 2ft S swell at 16 seconds, but energy is only 417 – weak. It’s clean but small.

Thursday 16 July morning is glassy with 3ft SSW, 13 seconds, energy 457. Good for a longboard or a foiler, but not a standout.

Friday 17 July is a write-off with poor conditions and strong winds.

The last highlight is Saturday 18 July morning: glassy, 3ft SSW at 16 seconds, energy 603 – expect very good conditions. It’s a nice way to end the run, but not a major standout compared to the 5th, 6th, and 7th.

For my money, the absolute best on offer is Sunday 5 July morning and Monday 6 July morning – both glassy, strong energy, long-period SSW swells, and excellent quality. If you can get out then, you’ll be smiling.

Stay safe, watch for the sets between the lulls.

Rusty.
