The Lowdown
Hey folks, Rusty here. Let’s chew the fat about what’s coming down at Chapadmalal. Honestly, it’s a bit of a quiet stretch. The wind’s gonna be your enemy most days, and the swell’s gonna play hard to get. Water temp is sitting at 51°F – that’s close to 4°F warmer than usual for this time of year, so it’s a little treat.
The session you don’t wanna miss is Monday September 7th morning. The wind is dead calm – total glass. You’ve got a clean 5ft swell rolling in from the SSE, with moderate swell energy (324). This is a point break that’s fairly consistent, and with a northwesterly offshore kicking in to clean it up, it’ll be looking beautiful. It’s a beginner-friendly wave too, so the whole crew can get a piece. Just expect it might be a bit crowded – it’s a popular spot.
Before that, you’ve got to suffer through some junk. Wednesday the 2nd and Thursday the 3rd are small and weak from the east – cross-off winds and barely a bump. Friday the 4th has some more size but it’s lumpy and ugly. The weekend (5th and 6th) is a stormy mess with strong onshore winds and blown-out, messy surf. Leave your board at home.
After that Monday morning gem, the taps get turned off. Tuesday the 8th sees the swell drop to 2ft and the wind picks up again. The whole second week is a snooze – tiny waves (mostly under 3ft) and light shifting winds. There’s a chance on Friday the 11th with a 4ft SSW swell and offshore winds, but the period is short (6 seconds) so it won’t have much punch. The energy is moderate (181).
The next real chance is Monday September 14th morning. The swell is only 3ft from the SSE, but the wind is light and cross-off from the NNE. The energy (251) is solid for the size. It’s clean, the direction is good, and you’ll get a few fun ones. Not a standout, but a solid option in a flat window.
So look, it’s mostly a quiet spell with one absolute banger on Monday the 7th morning. If you can only paddle out once, that’s your shot. After that, you’re waiting on small windows.
Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at Chapadmalal can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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.
