The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's take a look at what's on offer for the next couple of weeks.
Look, I've got to be straight with you. Fonte da Telha (Lisbon) has a pretty bleak 16-day run ahead. We're starting on July 15th and right through to the 30th, the story is the same: small, weak, and poor conditions. The swell energy is almost non-existent for the first week, registering as low as 21 to 125 (moderate) at best. We're looking at ankle-to-knee high waves, mostly from the NW or WNW, with short periods that just won't produce any punch. The water is sitting at 70°, about average for this time of year.
For a spot that's a beginner-friendly, fairly consistent, exposed sand bar, this is a big stretch of nothing. The wind is almost always wrong, onshore or cross-shore, chopping up what little swell we get. The very few times the wind might look a bit lighter, the swell is tiny. It’s just not going to happen.
Because the swell is so small, it never really pushes past that beginner mark, but the conditions are just messy. With the constant cross-shore winds, this setup actually looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
There is no standout in this entire period. The only faint glimmer is on July 20th Monday morning when the wind is light, but with 2ft of NW swell from a 8 second period and a light cross-onshore breeze of 6 mph, it’s still going to be very weak and bumpy. Honestly, you're better off finding something else to do for the next two weeks. Forecasts can change, but as it stands, this is a blank run.
Rusty.
