Zepotonengo Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.

Overall, we’ve got a solid run of surf coming up at Zepotonengo, starting Tuesday morning, 21 July, and running all the way through to early August. There’s a bit of a lull after the first few days, but nothing too drastic. The standout period is shaping up to be from Saturday the 25th through Monday the 27th – that’s where the magic happens.

The water temperature is sitting at 87°F with an anomaly of 2°F, which is a touch warmer than average for this time of year.

Tuesday, 21 July kicks off with a clean morning. ESE wind at 3 mph, glassy, with a 4ft SW swell at 15 seconds. The combined swell energy is 759 (moderate). It’s a solid start for a beginner-friendly spot, but the afternoon turns cross-onshore, so hit it early.

Wednesday, 22 July morning is glassy again with no wind, a 3ft SW swell at 13 seconds (energy 384). Nice and clean, but the swell is small. Afternoon gets messy.

Thursday, 23 July morning is another glassy one with 2ft of SW swell at 13 seconds (207 energy). Tiny but clean.

Friday, 24 July morning is the first real standout. Glassy conditions, no wind, and a 3ft SSW swell at 24 seconds – that’s a very long-period groundswell (energy 827, moderate). This is a reef-friendly setup, and with the offshore wind, it’ll be clean. Crowds are possible at Zepotonengo, so be ready for company.

Saturday, 25 July morning is the best of the lot. Glassy, NW wind at 3 mph, and a 3ft SSW swell at 21 seconds (energy 1201, strong). This is excellent for experienced surfers. The long period means the waves will have shape and power, but at a beach break, it might break a bit straight – still, it’s the pick of the weekend.

Sunday, 26 July morning is glassy with no wind, 5ft SW swell at 18 seconds (energy 1646, strong). That’s getting into expert territory – too big for beginners. Excellent conditions for those who can handle it.

Monday, 27 July morning is glassy again, 6ft SW swell at 18 seconds (energy 2185, strong). Another big one for experienced surfers only. The combined energy is cranking.

From Tuesday, 28 July through Thursday, 30 July, the swell stays solid but the wind gets tricky. Mornings are mostly glassy or cross-shore, with waves between 5ft and 7ft. The combined energy peaks at 2496 on Tuesday morning (strong). It’s not perfect, but the glassy windows are worth chasing.

Friday, 31 July morning is glassy, no wind, 4ft SSW swell at 14 seconds (energy 647). Very good conditions for a decent wave.

Saturday, 1 August morning is glassy, 3ft SSW swell at 13 seconds (381 energy). Good, clean fun.

Sunday, 2 August morning is glassy with no wind, 2ft SW swell at 14 seconds (363 energy). Small but clean.

Monday, 3 August morning is glassy, 3ft SW swell at 13 seconds (360 energy). Good for a longboard.

After that, the swell drops off quickly. Tuesday, 4 August morning is glassy but only 2ft of SW swell at 12 seconds (175 energy) – very weak. Wednesday, 5 August morning is glassy, 3ft S swell at 8 seconds (234 energy) – short period, weak, not much to get excited about.

The real highlight is Saturday 25 July morning and Monday 27 July morning – those are the sessions to plan around if you can handle the size. For the rest of the run, the early morning glass-off windows are your best bet.

Rusty.
