Alright, crew, Rusty here. Gonna level with you: the next 16 days at Curral are a flat spell for quality waves. Nothing's really clickin'.
Right now, through July 4th, forget it. Swell's there, 4 to 5 feet, coming from the East, but the wind's a problem. Cross and cross-off breezes are just messin' up the shape. Water's a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, sittin' around 83°.
The only real window, your one shot, is the morning of Sunday, July 5th. The swell drops a little to about 4 feet, but it swings around from the NE with a period of 8 seconds. The energy picks up to a solid moderate level (324), meaning there's some push. Wind's from the SE at 9 mph, so it's a cross-off and looks clean. The surf report says "expect good surf conditions". That’s your session.
From July 6th all the way through the 18th, it's a grind. Same story: knee-to-waist high East swell, cross-shore winds, and poor conditions every time. The energy stays in the 100-200 range, but the wind just chops everything up.
The only standout, the one worth paddling out for, is Curral on the morning of Sunday, July 5th. Be there early for that clean window with the better swell. After that, you're lookin' at a solid week-plus of nothin'. Just how it goes sometimes.
Rusty.

Information about the Curral Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Curral provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Curral can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Curral 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 (Curral) 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 Curral 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.
Curral is 1 km (1 miles) from Paracuru. If you plan a holiday in Ceará, look for hotels and other accommodation in Paracuru. Paracuru has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
