The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get into it.
First up, I’ve gotta be straight with you – the next 16 days for Baleal Sul are looking pretty grim. The surf forecast is a real struggle. There’s no clean, rideable surf on offer for the entire period. What we’ve got is a lot of onshore wind and small, messy waves. The first real chance of anything is a long way off, so don't get your hopes up.
We start off on Tuesday, July 28th, with a small 4ft swell from the NNW, but it’s completely blown out by onshore winds. That’s the story for the next week and a half. The wave energy is moderate at best, hitting around 381 (combined energy), but it’s useless with the wind. The water temp is about 68°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year, but that’s the only thing that’s normal.
The whole first week is a write-off. We’ve got a few days where the swell drops to 1ft, and the wind is still onshore or cross-onshore. The second week doesn’t bring any relief either. Even into the second week, the wind is still howling from the north, and the swell is small and short-period. It’s a total blank run.
The only thing that gets my attention is way out there on the 7th and 8th of August. The combined swell energy jumps up to 750 and then 864, which is strong, with swell heights hitting 8ft from the NNW. But again, the wind is onshore and strong at 19 mph. With that much wind and a beach break setup, this is honestly looking more like a kiteboarding session than a surf session. The period is short (8 seconds), so it’s not going to be wrapping in nicely. It’s too big and messy for beginners, and just not clean enough for anyone else.
For the rest of the run, we’re looking at nothing but junk. When the swell is small, the wind is bad. When the swell is big, the wind is still bad. It’s one of those stretches where the forecast is locked in and it’s just not happening. There’s no standout day, no hidden gem. This area just goes through periods like this. All we can do is wait for the next change.
Rusty.
