The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. To be honest, looking ahead over the full 16 days, we are in for a prolonged flat spell. The first real chance of anything rideable doesn't show up until nearly two weeks from now, so there's a big gap of nothingness on the beach break at Fonte da Telha.
For most of this stretch, it's a write-off. The swell is tiny, the wind is howling cross-shore or cross-onshore, and the wave comment is just "poor surf conditions" again and again. Don't bother checking the cams; you'll only depress yourself. This setup is more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing with that consistent side breeze. The combined swell energy is mostly under 100, which is just weak, weak energy.
Now, we do get a tiny glimmer way out there. On the morning of Tuesday, 20 August, we finally see a "surfable" rating. It's not much, but let's call it for what it is. The morning brings a clean, cross-offshore breeze from the NNE at 15 km/h, which is a major positive compared to everything else. The swell direction is from the NNW, which is close to the optimum WSW but not perfect. Swell height is just 3 ft with a period of 7 seconds, and the combined energy is weak, so it's dribbly. But after all that nothing, just getting a surfable wave under clear skies is a win.
Forget the rest of the days; they are truly unrideable. August is being stingy this year.
