Foz do Lizandro Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, listen up. It’s Rusty here, and I’ve got to give it to you straight. The surf outlook for Foz do Lizandro is looking bleak for the next couple of weeks. It’s a flat spell, plain and simple, and the wind is going to be against us for most of it. You might be better off doing some maintenance on your quiver.

We're starting off with barely a ripple. The first several days show tiny swell, around 2ft to 2ft, with a moderate cross-shore breeze that’s going to chop things up. The wave energy is weak, with readings like 82 on Wednesday afternoon or 61 on Thursday morning. The period is short, so there’s no punch to it. It’s just not going to be rideable.

The weekend of the 7th and 8th is more of the same. The swell drops even further, down to about 1ft, and the energy is almost nothing, down to 28. The wind eases a little, but it's still cross-shore, keeping the surface messy. We see a slight bump on Monday the 10th, with the afternoon seeing 4ft from the NW and the energy jumping to 127. But the wind is cross-onshore, making it lumpy and difficult. The period is only 7 seconds, so it won't have any shape.

Mid-week, the 12th and 13th, we see a little more energy, with values like 151 and 174, and the swell holding around 3ft to 3ft. But the wind is up, a fresh cross-shore breeze, making it tricky. The period is still short, around 9 seconds, so expect close-outs and no clean lines.

Then it just dies. From the 14th onward, the swell pretty much disappears. We're talking about 0.3ft, and the wind stays strong and messy, with a strong breeze on the 17th. The wave energy drops to single digits, like 9 or 10. There's a glimmer of hope on the 20th when the wind turns light and offshore, and it's clean, but there's still no swell to speak of. It's a tease.

So, the honest truth is, there are no good surf options in this 16-day window. It's a flat, blown-out run. The upside is that Foz do Lizandro is usually a fairly consistent spot, so a blank run like this is a bit unusual. Forecasts can change, and it won't stay poor for long. But for now, leave the board in the car. This looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer, with the strong cross-shore winds and no real swell.

Keep an eye on the charts, but don't hold your breath. This is a time for patience.
