The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what we've got coming down the line for this stretch. It's all about one spot, and it’s gonna be a proper run.

Right now, the water's sitting at a toasty 89°, which is a solid 7° warmer than normal for this time of year. That's very unusual and you’ll feel that bathwater.

We start off small. On Sunday the 13th, we’re looking at a clean 2ft southwest swell rolling in. The energy's low to moderate (380), but with that offshores, it’s a fun little afternoon session.

Monday the 14th starts messy with onshore winds, but the afternoon cleans right up with a light cross-off breeze and even better 2ft swell. Don’t write off those evening glass-offs.

Tuesday the 15th sees the swell bump up a touch. The morning has a bit of cross-on breeze, so give it a miss. But the afternoon brings a clean 3ft from the SSW and wave energy is climbing (630). It’s starting to get good.

Now, the real standout starts Wednesday the 16th. Wednesday morning is pure glass – a dead flat S wind at 3 mph and a clean 4ft SSW swell. The energy is solid (673). That’s the pick for intermediate surfers for a morning session. Afternoon stays clean with a light offshore.

Thursday the 17th is a carbon copy of greatness. Glassy 3ft SSW swell in the morning (752 energy), clean cross-off in the afternoon. Surf is consistent, the period is a long 14 seconds, and the waves have real grunt.

Friday the 18th has a slightly tricky morning with a cross-on breeze, but the afternoon cleans right up again with a 2ft SW swell. Don't sleep on it.

We have a bit of a lull on Saturday the 19th with marginal conditions, but Sunday the 20th is another glassy morning goldmine: 3ft SW swell (816 energy), and it stays clean through a risk of t-storms in the afternoon.

The quality keeps flowing into the next week. Monday the 21st through Tuesday the 22nd are both morning glory sessions with glassy 4ft SW swells. This is a long run of fun waves.

We hit a rough patch Wednesday the 23rd morning – cross-on winds ruining a 3ft swell. Wait for the afternoon when the wind swings offshore and it cleans back up. Thursday the 24th is iffy all day.

Friday the 25th to Saturday the 26th is a mixed bag of marginal onshore winds, but Saturday afternoon comes correct: a light cross-off on a clean 3ft SSW swell.

Now, here is the true standout of the entire forecast. Sunday the 27th. It gets heavy. The morning brings a glassy 7ft SSE swell. The energy is immense (2034). This is for experienced surfers only at that size. The afternoon is a clean 8ft from the S. Monday the 28th is the biggest: a glassy 8ft S swell in the morning (3120 energy) and a 10ft SSW swell in the afternoon. This is expert territory, but if you’ve got the skills and the board, this is going to be the best run of waves we’ve seen. The long, 14-second period groundswell will love this setup, but be aware it can get straight at times.

Best on offer: The glassy mornings from Wednesday the 16th through Tuesday the 22nd are the most consistent fun for intermediates. For the experienced crew, the big swell window on Sunday the 27th and Monday the 28th is the absolute barnburner.

Stay stoked.
Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at Zippers-Costa Azul can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).

Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Zippers-Costa Azul may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
