Table - best surf conditions forecast for Foz do Lizandro over the next 16 days.
Right, folks, Rusty here. Let’s look at what’s on offer.
Honestly, it’s a pretty flat and ugly run for the next 16 days. There’s no real surf on the menu at all. The whole outlook is a write-off, with every single session flagged as poor surf conditions. There’s a big gap of nothing worth paddling out for starting right now and running all the way through.
Foz do Lizandro is the only break in the data, and it just doesn't get any love. The swell is tiny, mostly under 3 ft, and the combined energy is weak, barely cracking 145 (moderate) at its best, with most days sitting in the low double digits or even single digits. The wind is a constant problem, too – mostly cross-onshore or cross-shore, with a moderate to fresh breeze making things choppy and lumpy. There’s no clean, glassy window to speak of.
You’ll see a little bump on the 18th of July, Saturday, with a 4 ft NNW swell, but that’s 5-second wind slop coming in with a fresh 19 mph cross-onshore wind. That’s not surf, that’s a washing machine. It’s too messy and short-period to be any fun, and the energy is only moderate (149). For beginners, it’s too blown out, and for anyone else, it’s not worth the hassle.
The very end of the run, on the 25th of July, Saturday, shows a 5 ft NNW swell, but again, it’s a 6-second period with a fresh 22 mph cross-shore wind. Combined energy is moderate (151), but the wind and short period will make it a choppy, lumpy mess. It’s a kite-surfing setup, not a paddle-surfing one.
There are no standouts. No best on offer. It’s a blank run, and for this area, that’s unfortunately pretty normal when the forecasts line up like this. Keep the board in the car, but don’t hold your breath.
