Table - best surf conditions forecast for Fonte da Telha over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Fonte da Telha over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough run. The whole 16-day window is looking pretty bleak. We’ve got a solid gap of poor surf conditions right from the start, all the way through the first week and into the second. There’s really nothing to get excited about for a long stretch. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there, but that’s about the only good news.
The first proper sniff of anything comes on the morning of Saturday, July 19th. We’ll see a small NW swell push in at about 4 ft, with a period of 9 seconds. The wind is light and cross-shore, which is okay, but the energy is still moderate at best (203). It’s only a marginal call, and the afternoon gets chopped up again. Not one to clear the calendar for.
Then again on Friday, July 24th, the morning shows a little NW swell around 4 ft with a 6-second period, so it’s weak and short-period. The energy is moderate (119), but the wind is cross-shore. It’s still coming in as poor surf.
Honestly, for a spot like this, a blank run this long is a bit of a downer. The best bet in the whole window is that Saturday, July 19th morning. Fonte da Telha is an exposed beach, and with the swell direction from the NW, it’s not matching the optimum WSW. The crowds are often there, but with conditions this poor, you’ll likely have the place to yourself. It’s beginner-friendly when it’s small, but this is more of a “just get wet” situation than any kind of standout.
Keep your chin up – forecasts can change, and it doesn’t usually stay this flat for long.
Rusty.
