Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s shaping up at Canto do Leblon over the next couple of weeks.
We’ve got a mixed bag coming our way. There’s no surf on offer right from the get-go on Sunday, July 5th – the swell is there at 6ft from the south, but the wind is messy and cross, and the overall vibe is just marginal. That one’s a skip. The next few days are a real struggle to find a clean window. Monday morning, July 6th, shows some promise with 5ft south swell and glassy conditions – that’s the kind of clean surface we all chase, but the energy is moderate at best (699). Then it gets choppy again in the afternoon.
Tuesday morning, July 7th, is another glassy dawn with 4ft from the SSE and a moderate energy push (521) – that’s a decent paddle-out if you can get it. But by afternoon the wind swings SW at 16 mph and it turns into a cross-chop mess. After that, we hit a real dry spell. From Wednesday, July 8th, right through to Saturday, July 19th, there’s barely a session worth your time – mostly tiny, onshore, or just flat with weak energy dropping as low as 49. That’s a solid 11-day gap of poor surf.
Now, for the one true standout: Monday, July 20th. This is the one to circle on your calendar. The morning brings a solid 6ft south groundswell, and get this – a very long period of 16 seconds. The combined energy is strong at 1488, and it’s clean with a light cross-off breeze. That’s excellent, experienced-surfer territory. For the record, water temp is sitting at 74°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. Just a heads up: with that super long period, Canto do Leblon being a beach and point setup might see those waves breaking a bit too straight at the beach section. It’ll be best along the point. Expect some crowds here as it’s consistent and breaks often.
So, honestly, if you’re not free on Monday the 20th morning, you’re looking at a long waiting game. Everything before that is either small, windy, or just not worth the paddle.
Stay stoked,
Rusty
