G'day, I'm Rusty. Right, let's have a look at what's on the menu for Armacao over the next couple of weeks. Gotta be straight with you, it's a grim picture for paddle surfing. We're looking at a stretch of over two weeks with nothing that I'd call a proper surf session. The setup is more suited to a kite than a surfboard for a while.
Starting from the morning of Friday the 3rd of July, we've got poor surf conditions. The swell energy is a flat zero (0). The water temp here is sitting at 62°, which is 5° colder than normal for this time of year – that's a very unusual chill. The wind is a fresh 19 mph from the south, which is cross-offshore but just too strong for any decent waves to form. Saturday and Sunday, the 4th and 5th, see a tiny bump of swell but it's only 2 ft from the ENE with a short period of 10 seconds. The combined energy is weak (52). There's some glassy conditions on Sunday morning, but the swell is just too small and gutless.
The whole of the following week, from the 6th through to the 11th of July, is a write-off. The swell heights barely reach 2 ft, and when they do, the period is a shocking 3 or 4 seconds. The wave energy is in the single digits (1, 2, 3, 10). It's just wind chop. For the second week, from the 12th of July onwards, things don't improve. We see tiny 0.7 ft to 2 ft swells from the ENE and NNE, with some cross-off and offshore winds on the 12th and 13th, but the period never gets above 7 seconds. The best bit of energy we get is on Saturday the 18th of July morning, with a 3 ft swell from the ENE at 6 seconds, giving a combined energy of 39. But that's still weak surf, and the wind is a cross-onshore breeze.
Honestly, there are no standouts here. The whole 16-day forecast is a blank run for surfers. Keep the board in the car, but this area tends to have quiet spells like this. Forecasts can change, but for now, it's a no-go.

Information about the Armacao Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Armacao provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Armacao can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Armacao surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Armacao) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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 Armacao 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.
Armacao is 19 km (12 miles) from the city of Florianopolis. If you plan a holiday in Florianópolis, look for hotels and other accommodation in Florianopolis. Florianopolis has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
