The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what we've got for the upcoming stretch. It's a bit of a mixed bag, and I'm not gonna lie, the first few days are a write-off.
Right off the bat, nothing is happening Friday or Saturday at Baleal Sul. The wind is a brutal cross-onshore or onshore, meaning choppy, blown-out conditions. The swell is small, the period is short, and it’s just a mess. You’d be better off doing anything else. On Sunday morning, the swell jumps up to 7ft from the N, but it's still a lumpy, cross-onshore 19 mph wind. The wave energy is strong (459), but it's not for surfing. This setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
The first real glimmer of hope comes on Monday, July 27th. Now, Monday morning is the one to watch. The wind drops to virtually nothing, swinging around to the east at just 3 mph, making it glassy. The swell is a clean 5ft from the NNW with a moderate energy (271). The water is a touch warmer than normal at 70°. For a sheltered spot like Baleal Sul, this is your window. The conditions are glassy, and while the break is inconsistent, those few waves you get will be clean. The afternoon is a letdown though, as the wind shifts and the swell drops. The rest of the week stays small, onshore, and generally unremarkable.
Now, hold on to your boards for Saturday, August 1st. We’ve got a solid alert. The swell is pumping at 7ft from the NW, with a very long period of 13 seconds. The wave energy is absolutely thumping, reading 1558. This is a serious groundswell. However, the wind is NNE at 9 mph, making for a gentle cross-onshore, which is okay but not perfect. The size and period are dialed in for a point break or reef, but Baleal is a sheltered beach break. This long-period swell might break a bit too straight here. It’s going to be big, powerful, and definitely for experienced surfers only. If you're a novice, stay on the sand. This is a promising, but long-range standout, so keep your fingers crossed.
Following that, Sunday, August 2nd still has a solid 6ft from the NW with an 11-second period, but the wind is a bit stronger. Then it's back to smaller, onshore conditions for the rest of the second week.
So, the bottom line: the best clean surf on offer is the glassy Monday morning, July 27th. For the big, powerful stuff, the standout is the big swell on Saturday, August 1st, but be ready for some challenging conditions.
Rusty out.
