The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin' for the next couple of weeks.
Alright, I gotta be straight with you – the next week and a half is lookin' pretty grim. We've got a long stretch of poor surf conditions from now, starting Thursday the 23rd of July, all the way through to the end of the month. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and the wave energy is real weak. For example, Thursday morning only has a combined energy of 69, and it doesn't get much better for days. It's a real bummer.
The first real glimmer of hope shows up on Sunday, the 2nd of August. That's the day we're gonna want to circle. The morning at Baleal Sul is looking like the standout. We've got a clean 6ft swell coming from the NNW, with a light, cross-offshore breeze from the SW. That's a magic combo for this spot. The wind is light, so the surface should be glassy, and the combined energy hits 610 – that's got some proper push. It's a beginner-friendly break, so it won't be too intimidating, but with that size and light wind, it'll be a fun one for everyone. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.
The afternoon on the same day is still okay, with a 6ft swell and cross-offshore wind, but a moderate breeze will put a bit of a ruffle on it. It's a solid backup, but the morning is the real winner.
After that little burst, it all goes quiet again. The wind turns back onshore or on, the swell drops, and the energy fades. The rest of the second week is pretty much a write-off, with nothing else to get excited about. From Monday the 3rd of August onward, it's back to poor surf and choppy conditions.
So, to sum it up: suffer through the first week, and get your skates on for the morning of Sunday, the 2nd of August. That's your only real window.
Rusty.
