G’day, Rusty here. Look, it’s a slow build at Canto do Leblon for the first few days, but there are a couple of proper windows later if you’re hanging for it. Water temp is about normal for this time of year.
Kicking off Friday morning July 3rd – it’s tiny, only 1ft from the S with a super long 19 second period. That groundswell will wrap around the point nicely, but energy is weak (130). Glassy with a light offshore breeze, so it’s clean, but no power. A few little peelers if you’re desperate.
Saturday morning July 4th steps up to 2-3ft from the S, 14 second period, and a light cross-offshore wind. Combined energy is moderate (530) and clean. A decent session for intermediates.
Sunday July 5th brings 5-6ft from the SSW, but the wind is cross-onshore all day. Energy sits around 800 (moderate) but the surface is messy. Not quality.
Monday July 6th – 4-5ft in the morning, then 2-3ft in the afternoon, but cross-shore and cross-onshore winds keep things choppy. Afternoon has a very long 20 second period but it’s weak.
Now, Tuesday July 7th morning is the standout. 2-3ft S swell, 16 second period, glassy offshore wind from the NNW. Energy is moderate (463), and the conditions are clean as a whistle. The point will be peeling perfectly. Crowds are sometimes there, but it’s worth it.
Thursday July 9th morning – 3ft S, cross-offshore, clean. Energy (303). Good but not exceptional.
Then a dry spell from July 10th through the 15th. Mostly small, weak, and ordinary – a lot of cross-onshore chop. Energy drops to 59 on July 15th morning. Hardly worth wetting a suit.
Sunday July 12th has a nice run: both morning and afternoon have 3-4ft SE swell at 12 seconds, glassy in the morning, clean cross-offshore in the afternoon. Energy moderate (349 and 374). That afternoon session will be smooth.
The other real standout is Saturday July 18th morning. 4ft S swell, 12 second period, offshore wind from the north, clean. Energy is solid (537). Consistent, punchy, good shape. Mark it down.
So the two best windows: Tuesday July 7th morning for clean, lined-up points, and Saturday July 18th morning for a bit more size with good wind. Everything else is either too small or blown out.
Rusty.
