The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down.
Canto do Leblon is looking at a slow start. The first couple of days are small and messy. Saturday the 25th is a no-go with cross-on wind and poor conditions. Sunday the 26th morning, though, is glassy and clean with a 2ft south swell at 14 seconds. The combined energy is 377, a moderate push. That’s the first real chance for a clean session, but it’s small. Water temp is 72°, which is about average for the time of year.
The rest of July stays small – 2ft to 2ft – with a few clean mornings, but nothing special. The morning of the 31st (Friday) is glassy but only 2ft, so it’s a slow one.
Then we get to the good stuff. Monday the 3rd of August is the standout: a solid 6ft south swell, 11 second period, dead calm wind, glassy conditions. Combined energy is 753, a solid moderate-to-strong pulse. That’s a proper intermediate wave, clean and with power.
Tuesday the 4th morning is also excellent: 6ft from the SSE, cross-off wind from the NE, and 1017 energy. Clean and strong.
Wednesday the 5th morning brings 6ft from the east, short period of 8 seconds, so it’s a bit jumbled, but the wind is light cross-off and the energy is high at 1153. It’ll be fun but bumpy.
From the 6th onward, the swell stays in the 4ft to 6ft range, with easterly swell. Mornings are mostly clean, but the energy drops. The 9th of August morning has offshore wind and 3ft from the ESE, but it’s fading.
The real window is the first week of August. The morning of Monday the 3rd is the best – clean, solid south swell, glassy. Tuesday the 4th and Wednesday the 5th mornings are also very good. Get out there early.
