Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let's get into it.
We’ve got a bit of a slow start, but don’t write the week off just yet. There's no surf worth paddling for right now, but Monday morning on the 6th looks like the first real chance to get wet. The water at Canto do Leblon is sitting at 74°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
Monday morning, July 6th, is going to be a standout. Canto do Leblon is waking up with clean 5ft south swell, with a solid 11-second interval, and the wind is glassy out of the north at just 3 mph. The water will be like glass. Combined swell energy is sitting at a moderate 699, so there's plenty of push. This is your session if you've got a flexible morning.
Tuesday morning, July 7th, the swell drops a touch to 4ft from the SSE, but the offshore NNW wind at 3 mph will keep it clean. Not a world-beater, but fun. Energy is at 516.
Wednesday, July 8th, is a bit meh with onshore winds and marginal conditions. Thursday the 9th has a glassy morning but only 2ft of south swell; the long 13-second period will make it soft but pretty. Friday and Saturday mornings hold some clean windows with offshore or glassy wind, but the swell sizes are between 2ft and 4ft.
Now, here's the next real standout: Monday, July 13th. That's a week away, so treat this as promising. The morning brings a 7ft south swell at 11 seconds with offshore NNW wind at 3 mph. Combined energy hits a strong 1114. That's solid, powerful stuff. But heads up – at 7ft, it's pushing into the range where beginners might want to sit this one out. The afternoon on the same day gets shredded by a 19 mph cross-shore, so make sure you're on it early.
Another one to circle is Friday, July 17th. Another very good morning with a 7ft south swell, the 8-second period is a little short, but the wind is clean out of the north at 6 mph. Energy is a strong 1021. Again, this is more for the experienced crew.
A couple of other clean mornings pop up on the 18th, 19th, and 20th of July, offering clean lines between 3ft and 5ft. The 20th has a very long-period 19-second south groundswell at 2ft in the morning – a bit small, but those long lines will be super clean with the cross-offshore breeze.
Overall, there are some proper windows here. The 6th and the 13th are the standout mornings if you can get out there.
Stay stoked,
Rusty
