The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty here, lookin’ at the next couple of weeks for our local stretch.
First up, the water is sitting at a chilly 64°, which is a full 5° colder than what we’d normally expect this time of year. That’s a notable chill, so a decent wetsuit is non-negotiable.
The pattern ahead is a bit of a mixed bag. We’ve got some solid swell windows, but the wind is going to be the real story. For the most part, onshore and cross-onshore northerly winds are going to mess things up, making for lumpy, choppy, and generally poor conditions. There are a couple of absolute diamonds in the rough, though, if you can wait for them.
Saturday the 21st brings in a new pulse. The morning at Baleal Sul shows a 7ft swell from the NNW with a very long 14-second period. That’s a lot of grunt, and the combined swell energy is a massive 1969 – that’s strong energy. The wind is a light cross-shore from the ENE, which is rideable, but the forecast calls it marginal due to some tide issues. This one is really just a warm-up.
Now, here’s the standout. Tuesday the 22nd of September is the morning to circle on your calendar. We get an even better 8ft swell from the NNW, with a 13-second period, and the energy is ripping at 1939. But the magic is the wind: a light cross-offshore breeze from the ESE, making for clean conditions. This is the best setup of the entire period. Good size, good direction for the spot, and clean. Expect some competition for waves though, as crowds are sometimes a thing here.
After that, Wednesday the 23rd morning is still worth a paddle, with a 6ft NNW swell and 11-second period (combined energy of 745). The wind goes glassy with a light ESE breeze, making for another clean, fun session, though the swell is a step down from Tuesday. After Wednesday, the north winds come back onshore and the surf tapers off, with small, weak swells and poor wind all the way through the end of the forecast window on the 27th.
So, to wrap it up: don't bother with the constant onshore slop for the next week. Save your energy for Tuesday the 22nd and Wednesday the 23rd mornings. Tuesday is the real standout.
