Alright, Rusty here.
Let’s look at what’s cooking at Chapadmalal.
Right off the bat, Friday afternoon has a little something. It’s glassy, it’s clean, with a 4ft south swell and a decent 11-second period. Water temp is 52°, a touch warmer than usual. The energy is moderate (299). It’s a nice, easy session for a beginner.
After that, it goes quiet. From Saturday right through to Wednesday the 9th, the surf is small and messy. The wind is generally onshore or cross-shore, and the swell drops to knee-high. Not worth the wetsuit.
The next real window is Friday the 10th, in the morning. Glassy conditions again, with a slightly bigger 4ft south swell and decent energy (311). That’s your best bet for the first week.
Looking further ahead, Monday the 13th is the one to circle. The morning is clean with 3ft on a long-period ESE swell. But the Monday afternoon session is the standout: 3ft, but the period stretches to 12 seconds and the energy jumps to a strong 458. With a solid offshore wind from the NNW, this point break should offer some nice, lined-up walls. It’s the best looking window in the whole forecast.
Thursday the 16th, morning offers another glassy chance with 3ft of clean south swell and energy at 367. A solid backup.
So, the headline: Monday the 13th afternoon is your target. The rest is mostly small or windy until you get there.
Rusty.

Information about the Chapadmalal Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Chapadmalal provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Chapadmalal can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Chapadmalal surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Chapadmalal) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Chapadmalal may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
