5 Day Forecast for Puerto Escondido

 

 

 

Mainland Mexico Surf Forecast
RECAP: Not much surf over the weekend or on Monday with mainly just pulses of S-SW swell and a little background WNW energy in the water. Most areas checked in with weak waves down in the knee to waist high zone then and best breaks weren't much bigger.
OUTLOOK: The first part of the week stays on the small side then better SW swell rolls in for the second half of the week.
SHORT-RANGE:

A modest scale storm off the south end of South America and another low near New Zealand pushed out a pair of SSW(185-195)/SW(220-225) swells which will be lapping in over the next few days. Most areas stay in the knee to waist plus range through mid week. Some of the real wave magnets (like Puerto Escondido for example) get bigger sets then.

CONDITIONS:

Mainly mild weather with light to moderate winds through the middle of the week.

LONG RANGE:

SPAC: A series of storms were tracking eastward from under New Zealand and towards South America last week. SW(205-220) swell generated by those lows starts moving in on Thursday with waist-chest high plus waves for more areas and shoulder-head high+ surf for the better exposed breaks. Standouts see some bigger sets at the standouts. Those heights hold gradually back down over the weekend but there will still be fun zone stuff left into Sunday. Stronger Southern Hemi swell setting up now for the second half of the upcoming week. Stay tuned to the forecast for updates on that potential swell.
NPAC: North Pacific storms haven't been aimed this way lately so there are no significant NW swells scheduled for this week. Some steep NW swell is expected to show at well exposed spots early in the upcoming week. We'll keep you posted on that one.
