The Lowdown

Right, let’s have a look at what’s heading our way for Zippers-Costa Azul over the next couple of weeks.

Straight up, the first few days are a bit of a write-off for a decent paddle. Monday afternoon the 13th sees a small 3ft SSW swell, but with a cross wind and the water temp sitting at 85°, which is well above average for the time of year, energy is moderate (506). The conditions are just marginal. Tuesday and Wednesday are even worse, with poor surf and onshore winds.

Things start to get a bit more interesting towards the end of the week. Thursday afternoon the 16th, the swell drops to 2ft from the SW, but the wind turns cross-off and the surf is clean. It’s tiny, but the shape could be there for a fun little session on a longboard if you’re desperate.

The real standout window starts to build on Saturday the 18th. We’ve got a solid 6ft SW swell (12 seconds) rolling in Saturday morning, with light cross-on wind. The combined energy is strong (1161), so it’s got some weight. This is pushing into the size that’s better for intermediate surfers, and with the crowds likely here, it’ll be worth getting out early.

By Wednesday the 23rd, we’re looking at the best of the bunch. Thursday afternoon the 23rd has a 7ft SW swell with glassy conditions – absolutely no wind. That’s clean, powerful surf, but at that size it’s strictly for experienced surfers. The energy is very strong (1721). Then Friday morning the 24th holds similar magic with a 5ft WSW swell, again glassy. That’s your pick of the entire forecast: solid, clean, and lined up.

After that, the surf holds through the weekend and into the following week, with a mix of 4ft to 5ft SW swells, but the wind is more onshore or cross, so the quality drops. The 26th (Sunday afternoon) has a clean 4ft SW swell with cross-off wind, which is another good call for a more relaxed session.

Overall, don’t bother with the first five days. The standout is Thursday 23rd afternoon and Friday 24th morning – the swell is solid, the wind is off, and the waves will be clean and powerful. Get on it.
