The Lowdown
Well, folks, I'm Rusty, and I gotta level with you straight up – this outlook for the next sixteen days is a tough one. We've got one spot on the radar, Canto de Sarney, and it's a beginner-friendly little wave. The water's sitting at a nice 80°F, which is about normal for this time of year, so no need for a thick wetsuit.
Alright, let's break it down. The whole period starts with a consistent easterly swell pushing in, but the wind is just a mess. From Monday the 31st of August right through the entire first week, we're looking at cross-onshore winds, mostly from the east and northeast, blowing at 12 to 19 mph. This is churning the ocean up into a choppy, lumpy mess. The swell heights are in the 4 ft to 6 ft range, but the energy is moderate. The period is short, mostly 8 seconds, which just doesn't hold up a decent face. The wave comment says it all: "poor surf conditions." Every single session is scored a 0 out of 10. There's no standout day here, not a single one I'd recommend paddling out for.
Moving into the second week, from the 7th of September onward, it's more of the same. The winds stay cross-on, the swell gets a bit smaller, dropping to 2 ft to 6 ft, and the energy remains moderate to low. The period is still short, 6 to 8 seconds, and occasionally a longer 11 to 12 second swell shows up on the 10th and 11th, but it's still buried under those onshore winds. The wave comment never changes: "poor surf conditions."
Honestly, folks, this is a blank run. There are no good surf options in this 16-day window. The only break, Canto de Sarney, is fairly consistent, but the conditions are universally poor. The wind is just relentless, and the swell never gets a clean angle. For a beginner spot with cross-onshore wind, it's not going to be fun.
Stay patient, keep an eye on those forecasts, 'cause they can change, but for now, I'd say it's not worth the paddle. The energy is there, but the wind is a deal-breaker. If you're desperate, you might look at kite surfing, but for a surfboard, it's a no-go.
Rusty.
