Alright, Rusty here. Let’s look at what Zippers-Costa Azul has cookin’ for the next couple of weeks.
The first real surf shows up on Thursday, July 2nd. The morning is a bust with a weak 0.9m SSW swell and cross-on wind messing it up. But that afternoon? Glassy wind straight out of the SW at only 3 mph, the swell jumps to 1.1m with a long 16-second period, and the water is a warm 81°—that’s nearly 5° above normal for this time of year. The combined wave energy is moderate (693), and the conditions are clean. This is the best window of the whole forecast.
Friday the 3rd keeps the SSW swell around 1.0m. The morning is onshore from the SE (6 mph), so it’s junk. The afternoon cleans up with a WSW cross-off breeze at 9 mph, giving clean faces and 607 energy. It’s decent, but not as good as Thursday afternoon. Saturday the 4th drops to a tiny 0.6m in the morning, then only 0.9m in the afternoon with a very long 18-19 second period. The wind is light cross-shore, making it a longboard kind of day.
Sunday the 5th sees 1.3m in the morning with onshore SE wind—poor. Monday the 6th brings 1.1m swell with strong energy (1192 in the morning), but onshore wind. Tuesday the 7th hits the biggest swell of the period: 1.5m in the morning (1394 energy) and 1.6m in the afternoon (1518 energy), both with not-so-great wind. The afternoon has a moderate SW cross-wind at 12 mph putting a chop on. That’s expert-only territory at that size with the chop.
From Wednesday the 8th on, the swell drops back to 1.0-1.3m with cross or cross-on winds. Not many good windows. Saturday the 11th afternoon has a clean WSW cross-off breeze (9 mph) on 1.1m SSW swell. Sunday the 12th morning is the second standout: glassy SSE wind at 3 mph, 1.1m swell with 14-second period and moderate energy (554). Smooth, clean, and fun.
Then it gets rough. From Monday the 13th, the swell crashes to 0.6-0.9m, winds turn onshore and strong (12-19 mph), with rain and thunderstorms possible. The wave energy drops to weak levels (136-557). Thursday the 16th afternoon offers a tiny 0.5m with clean cross-off wind, but it’s barely worth it. Friday the 17th is flat and poor.
Your best bets are that Thursday afternoon glassy session and that Sunday morning glass. After that, it’s a long dry spell of small, messy surf. When the wind howls, this beach-and-reef setup might be better for kite flying than wave riding. But when it’s clean, the long-period SSW groundswell gives some real nice shape.
Go get that glassy Sunday.
