Table - best surf conditions forecast for Canto do Leblon over the next 16 days.
Alright, let’s break it down.
We start slow. The first real chance for a surf is on Friday the 10th, but it’s on the small side.
Friday the 10th – morning is the go. Clean cross-off wind from the north, the swell is only 2ft (0.7m) from the southeast, with a period around 14 seconds. Energy is moderate (294). Water temp is about average for this time of year, around 73°F. It’s clean, but small.
Saturday the 11th – morning again. North cross-off, swell picks up to 4ft (1.1m) southeast, 13-second period. Energy is solid moderate (405). Afternoon gets a cross-on breeze and messy.
Sunday the 12th – messy, onshore winds, crossed up. Not much to say.
Monday the 13th – big but ugly. Swell hits 7ft (2.0m) from the SSW, but the period drops to a short 8 seconds in the morning. Combined energy is strong in the morning (905) and very strong in the afternoon (1407). Choppy, lumpy – more of a kite day. Experts only if you’re keen.
Tuesday the 14th through Thursday the 16th – a nice run of clean mornings. North or northwest cross-off winds, swell around 4-4ft (1-1.3m) from the SSE, periods around 9-10 seconds. Energy in the 350-390 range – good, solid fun. Thursday the 16th morning is the pick of this stretch.
Then a flat spell kicks in. From Friday the 17th to Wednesday the 22nd, swell drops to 1-3ft (0.4-0.9m) with short, weak periods. Mornings are clean, but barely surfable – longboard territory. Energy dips under 200, sometimes under 100. About five days of slim pickings.
Thursday the 23rd – a pulse of 4ft (1.2m) south swell in the morning, clean but short period. Ordinary but rideable.
The real standout is Friday the 24th morning – clean north offshore, 4ft (1.1m) south swell with an 11-second period. Energy at 325. Good shape, good power.
Saturday the 25th morning is the one to mark on the calendar. North wind, glassy offshore, 4ft (1.2m) south swell with a 13-second period – that’s real groundswell. Combined energy hits 839, very strong. Long, lined-up waves, ideal for a point break. The afternoon gets blown out by a moderate cross-onshore, so get out early.
Best bet of the whole outlook: Saturday the 25th morning at Canto do Leblon – clean, powerful, and running long.
Rusty out.
