The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it for the next couple of weeks. To be honest, it’s looking pretty grim for a proper surf. We’ve got a long stretch coming up with nothing doing, so don’t get your hopes up too early.
The first glimpse of any rideable swell doesn’t show up until Wednesday morning, the 12th of August. Even then, it’s tiny. We’re talking about Focene or Baraonda, a beginner-friendly spot that’s fairly consistent, exposed to the SW. Wednesday morning we’ll see a tiny 1 ft swell from the NW, with a short period of 4 seconds, so it’s weak and gutless with combined energy of just 4. The wind is a light NE breeze, clean and cross-offshore, which is about the only good thing here. The water is a scorching 85°F, which is a massive 6°F warmer than normal for this time of year – very unusual, and it’ll feel like a bath.
The afternoon picks up slightly to 2 ft from the WNW, still short period at 4 seconds, and combined energy climbs to 12, but the wind swings onshore from the WSW. It’s still poor surf conditions across the board.
Thursday morning the 13th offers another clean, cross-off window with a NNE breeze, but the swell drops back to a pathetic 1 ft. After that, we hit a dead zone. From Friday the 14th right through to Sunday the 23rd of August, it’s mostly flat. There are a few days with a tiny ripple showing, like 0.7 ft or 1 ft, but the energy is next to nothing, and the wind is often onshore or messy. You’ll see a glassy morning on the 16th, but there’s zero swell to ride.
The only real standout in this entire 16-day window is the morning of the 24th of August, a Monday. That’s over a week and a half away, so take it with a pinch of salt, but it’s the best we’ve got. Focene should see a clean 2 ft from the WNW with a 3-second period, combined energy of 8. The wind is offshore from the E at 9 mph, making for gentle offshore conditions and clean lines. It’s still tiny, but it’s the only time the stars align with clean wind and a pulse of swell. Crowds are possible here, so you might not be alone.
Bottom line: this is a very quiet stretch. If you’re desperate, the morning of the 12th or the 24th are your only real shots, and even then, keep your expectations low. A blank run like this is pretty normal for the area when the swell windows don’t line up.
Rusty.

Information about the Focene or Baraonda Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Focene or Baraonda provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Focene or Baraonda can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.
