Puerto Escondido
Report Date: Fri. December 14, 2012By Forecaster: Austin Gendron: austin@globalsurfreports.com
Tropical Conditions:
tropical season will start again in June
Swell Forecast:
SW (210-220) swell should be peaking right now with periods around 15 seconds. There are probably going to be some longer waits for the bigger sets, but it looks like we should see some moderate sized surf at the better exposures. If you're not seeing those bigger sets there should still be some smaller 10-second south making keeping things surfable. Neither swell is very big, but the combination of the two could really help stand out breaks see a little more size and shape.Wave heights start to slowly back down over the weekend, but over the past couple days there has been a small system to the SSW (200-210) developing a little fetch that could generate another small swell for early next week. The storm looks small, and resulting swell is another one of these 2-2.5 footers we've been seeing lately. It could still be enough to send some more waist to shoulder high waves for early to mid-next week though.
Further out, the short-range models show a couple of small zonal systems sneaking around New Zealand. The first SW (210-220) would arrive on the 22nd, with 15 second periods and smaller surf. The second, looks like it could be more of a traveling fetch, with the winds blowing over the swell as it moves E-NE. The fetch looks a broader and could generate seas in the 30-35 foot range over the weekend. This second larger swell could be good for more consistent moderate sized surf building for around the 23rd. Every model run is looking better for this second system and we could see a decent pulse of swell right before Christmas (fingers crossed).
Beyond that, the mid-range models show some more energy boiling up off the coast of Chile early next week, capable of generating some swell from the S (175-180). This one isn't looking very big though due to a mostly zonal trajectory of the storm sending most of the swell right into Chile instead of up towards CAM and MM. This guy although far out on the models is also much closer in proximity and the resulting swell would be arriving around the 21st/22nd as well.

Weekly Outlook:
Today (Friday the 14th) we see the peak of the swell with standouts showing waist to head high surf. Some of the best exposures could still see one inconsistent overhead sets if they are lucky.
Saturday the 15th the SW swell starts to back off with most places seeing waist to shoulder high waves.
Sunday the 16th and other day of dropping swell with typical spots in the knee to chest high range.
Monday the 17th small leftovers continue with top spots in the knee to waist high range and occasional chest high sets.
Tuesday the 18th a new pulse of 16 to 17-second SSW (200-210) starts to build up through the region. Size won't be anything special through the day, but there could be more consistent waist to chest high waves at the better exposures.
Wednesday the 19th the SSW continues to peak with wave heights in the waist to chest high range, maybe a few head high to overhead sets here and there at the best breaks.
Thursday the 20th wave heights start backing down from the SSW swell as periods drop to 13 seconds. The swell looks less consistent, but there could be a little NW (~300) filling in with 18-seconds at the better exposures that can work those NPac swells. Size looks pretty small, but the background energy could help add a little shape to the leftovers.
Beyond that, long-range models have a couple swells on the way for the days leading up to Christmas.
That's it for today, be safe and get in the water!
