The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s talk surf for Buarcos in feet and miles.
Water temp is just about average for the time of year, nothing unusual.
The next two weeks start off with a long stretch of lackluster surf. You’ll be sitting on your hands for a while.
Monday morning the 10th: clean cross-off north wind at 9 mph with a tiny 2 ft NW swell (energy 95). It’s rideable but nothing special. That sets the tone. Through the week, the swell bumps up a bit – Thursday the 13th brings 3 ft from the WNW (energy 227) but cross-shore winds mess it up. Friday the 14th morning: 4 ft from the NNW, but again, cross-shore breeze kills the quality.
The single standout is Sunday morning the 16th. Buarcos goes clean with a light east breeze at just 3 mph and a solid 5 ft NW swell (energy 280). That’s decent size for the break, with glassy conditions and almost no wind. The swell direction isn’t exactly the sweet spot (WSW), but it has enough power and the wind makes it perfect. This is your best bet.
Monday morning the 17th also looks good: glassy conditions again, with a 4 ft NNW swell and a barely-there east-southeast breeze. Energy at 243. Light crowds expected.
The next Friday (21st) and Saturday (22nd) mornings offer clean surf with 3-3 ft swell (energy 214-246) and light cross-off winds, but the afternoons get blown out.
The second week fades fast. By Monday the 24th, it’s a poor 3 ft windswell, and Tuesday the 25th barely has 1 ft of swell. Hardly worth a look.
If you’re locking in a session, Sunday the 16th is the one. Maybe Monday too. After that, it’s time to find something else to do.
