The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s break down the surf situation for the next couple weeks.
Honestly, it’s a rough start. We’re looking at a long stretch of almost nothing. The first nine days are basically a write-off – tiny surf, rubbish wind, just not worth getting wet. You’ll be waiting a while.
The one real bright spot, and the only session I’d mark on the calendar, is Tuesday morning, August 4th at Foz do Lizandro. The swell is around 5ft out of the NW, with a 10-second period. The energy is strong at 483, and the wind is light and offshore from the N at just 3 mph. That’s going to be clean as a whistle – smooth, glassy waves with some real push. The water temp is about what you’d expect for this time of year, nothing out of the ordinary. It’s a river mouth break, so it can be a bit fickle, and it’s a beginner-friendly wave, so don’t be surprised if it gets a little crowded.
Wednesday morning, August 5th also looks decent. The swell is a bit smaller at 4ft from the WNW, but the wind is still light and cross-offshore, so the surface will be clean. The energy is at 266. A solid backup plan.
Saturday morning, August 1st has a clean look with 4ft from the WNW and cross-offshore wind, giving you a bit of shape, but the swell is a little smaller and the energy is high at 491, so it’s worth a look if you’re keen.
After that, the wind craps out again, and the swell fades. The rest of the forecast is all small, choppy, and messy. For the kite surfers, some of those afternoons with 20+ mph cross-shore winds will be way more fun than trying to paddle.
So, save your energy. The only real window is Tuesday, August 4th. Make it count.
Rusty.
