The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I’ve got to be straight with you – it’s a lean stretch. The entire 16-day window is a tough one, with nothing that really gets the heart pumping. We’re looking at a long, quiet run with very little energy in the water. The first sniff of anything rideable doesn’t show up until the end of the first week, and even then, it’s marginal.
Let’s start at Focene (Baraonda). The water temp is sitting about average for the time of year, so no surprises there. The whole forecast is plagued by tiny, weak swell with periods under 8 seconds – that’s short-period windswell, lacking any punch. The combined wave energy is very low, mostly sitting in the single digits (1 to 4), which tells you everything you need to know. The wind does offer some clean windows, like Monday morning the 20th with glassy conditions, and Tuesday morning the 21st with light offshore, but with swell heights barely reaching 0.7 ft, it’s just not enough to paddle for.
The only slight pulse comes on Friday morning, July 24th. We see a bump up to 4 ft from the north, with a period of 5 seconds and a combined energy of 80. It’s still weak, but it’s the biggest we’ll see. The wind is cross-offshore from the NNE at 16 mph, which will keep the surface clean. But with that short period, it’s going to be a bit soft and crumbly, probably best left for a longboard if you’re really keen. The swell is too small and weak for any real power, and the direction is north, which isn’t the optimum SW for this spot.
After that, it’s back to the doldrums. From Saturday the 25th all the way through to the end of the period on August 3rd, we’re looking at waves barely registering 2 ft, with most days flatlining at zero. The combined energy stays below 20, and the wind is often cross-on or onshore, making it choppy and unappealing. There’s a brief moment on Friday morning, July 31st, with glassy conditions and a 2 ft swell from the south, but with a period of 6 seconds and energy of 18, it’s just a tiny, weak wave.
So, the honest truth is there’s no standout session here. The best on offer is that Friday morning, July 24th, with the 4 ft north swell, but it’s a long way from special. For the rest of the time, it’s a flat spell. If you’re a beginner, the tiny clean conditions on the 20th or 21st mornings might be okay for a float, but for anyone looking for a proper wave, it’s a waiting game. Forecasts can change, so keep an eye on it, but right now, this is a quiet period for Focene.
Rusty.
