The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what's on the cards for Zippers-Costa Azul over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, the weekend's looking a bit of a slow starter, but the real juice is coming mid to late next week. We've got some proper glassy windows shaping up that'll have this spot looking its best.
The standout session is shaping up for Monday the 21st. Both the morning and afternoon are looking absolutely mint, with glassy conditions and a solid 4ft SSW groundswell pumping in. The energy is strong, hitting a nice (936) in the morning. This is the one to circle on your calendar, folks.
Before that, we've got a run of promising days starting from Sunday the 20th. The morning is glassy with a clean 4ft SW swell, and the energy is already ramping up (793). That's a very good sign.
The first real action kicks off on Thursday the 17th afternoon, with a clean 3ft SSW swell and some cross-off wind. It's not the biggest, but the quality is there. Then Friday the 18th has a clean afternoon session with a 2ft SW groundswell that has some serious period (19 seconds), meaning those waves will have plenty of push and shape.
Looking further out, we have more glassy conditions on Tuesday the 22nd with consistent 4ft SW swell, and Wednesday the 23rd afternoon has a clean 4ft SW swell too. The following week from Thursday the 24th through Saturday the 27th keeps offering clean, glassy mornings with consistent waist-to-chest high swell, though the energy does ease off a bit.
A quick word on the water: it's much warmer than normal for this time of year, which is a nice bonus.
So there you have it. A slow start but plenty of good windows to come. Keep an eye on that Monday the 21st.
Rusty.
