The Lowdown

Alright, let’s get into it. Zippers-Costa Azul is looking at a solid run of south swells over the next couple weeks, with plenty of clean windows to keep you smiling. This break is consistent, and the forecast is serving up a good mix of waves.

Kicking off, Monday the 7th is an absolute beauty. The morning’s got clean 4ft SSW groundswell with a long 14-second period, and it’s glassy – perfect. Wave energy is strong at 785, so there’s plenty of grunt. That’s the standout for the week, no question. The water temp is about what you’d expect for this time of year. Crowds are often around, so plan accordingly. The swell direction lines up with the optimum south, so Zippers will be running well.

Tuesday the 8th is a bit of a write-off with onshore wind and small, weak waves. Wednesday the 9th bounces back – a glassy morning with 3ft SW groundswell at 17 seconds and moderate energy (520). The afternoon cleans up with a cross-off breeze and a fatter 4ft. Thursday the 10th is iffy in the morning with a light cross-on, but the afternoon turns around with cross-off wind and 4ft SW swell at 16 seconds – that’s the session to pick.

Friday the 11th is another top day. Morning is clean, 4ft SW groundswell, 15-second period, good energy at 517. The afternoon goes offshore with a moderate breeze, still 3ft – a really tidy window. Saturday the 12th starts glassy with 3ft SW and light winds, fading a bit through the day. Sunday the 13th offers a glassy dawn patrol with 2ft – small but clean, good for a longboard.

Into the second week, the swell hangs on but gets a bit more mixed. Monday the 14th has a very long 18-second period SW groundswell, but the morning is messy. Afternoon turns glassy with 2ft – clean but small. Tuesday the 15th: morning is poor, but the afternoon comes through with 3ft SW groundswell at 16 seconds, clean, with good energy (654). A sneaky good session.

Wednesday the 16th has a promising afternoon – 3ft SSW with cross-off wind, clean. Thursday the 17th is more average. Friday the 18th: morning is marginal, but the afternoon delivers a beautiful 2ft SW groundswell with a very long 19-second period, glassy and clean – a real treat for experienced surfers. Saturday the 19th and Sunday the 20th both have clean afternoons in the 3ft to 3ft range with long-period SW energy. Monday the 21st has some size (4ft) but the morning is messy; afternoon is light cross-on with strong energy (841). Tuesday the 22nd morning shows a jump in energy to 1068 – very strong – with 4ft SW groundswell at 16 seconds, wind is onshore. If that cleans up, watch out. But that’s a long way off.

The absolute best bets: Monday the 7th morning, glassy and punchy, and Friday the 11th afternoon with that offshore wind. Get on it.

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.
