The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about the next two weeks at Baleal Sul. Gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough run ahead. The forecast shows plenty of swell, but the wind is just not playing ball for most of it, leaving the surf pretty messy and unappealing for a paddle session.
For the first several days, from Sunday the 6th through to Saturday the 12th, it’s a write-off. We’ve got a mix of cross-onshore and onshore winds from the North, blowing hard enough to chop everything up. Swell heights bob around from 4ft to 7ft, but with the wind howling, the surf quality is poor. The wave energy hangs around moderate, with combined swell energy values in the 200 to high 800 range, but it’s just not worth paddling out into that mess. You’ll get a clean window on Sunday morning the 13th. The wind swings light out of the East (cross-offshore), making conditions clean. Swell is 5ft from the NNW with a short, weak period of 7 seconds. The energy is moderate (536). This is a surfable window, but not a standout by any stretch.
The real highlight, and the only one I’d circle on the calendar, arrives on Monday morning, September 14th. We’ve got glassy conditions with next to no wind, and a solid 8ft swell from the NNW with an 8-second period. That’s pushing into the "too big for beginners" range. The wave energy is strong (739). If you’ve got the skills and a big board, this is the morning to be out there. It won’t be perfect all day – the afternoon swings onshore and gets messy. Expect crowds to be around, so get there early.
After that, the forecast turns back to poor quality again from the 15th through the 17th, with onshore winds and average conditions. By the 18th and 19th, the swell drops right off. We’re down to 3ft to 3ft, with weaker energy. The final days, Sunday the 20th and Monday the 21st, offer small surf. The 20th morning has a glassy 3ft from the NW (163 energy), and the 21st morning brings a light offshore from the South with 4ft from the NW (297 energy). It’s small, but clean enough for a longboard.
So, if you’re looking for the best on offer, that’s Monday the 14th. The rest of the window is mostly a waiting game.
Rusty.
