Table - best surf conditions forecast for Foz do Lizandro over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you. The next 16 days at Foz do Lizandro are a bit of a write-off, to be honest. We’re looking at a long stretch with barely any energy in the water, and the wind is never doing us any favours. There’s really nothing to get excited about for a paddle session.
The swell is tiny, generally under 3 ft, and the period is often short and weak. The combined swell energy stays under 100 for most of the first two weeks, showing just how weak it is (moderate wave energy of 118 pops up on the 24th, but it’s still messy). The wind is cross or cross-onshore almost every day, from the NW or NNW, with beefy speeds that kick up plenty of chop. The water is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.
This spot is a river mouth, fairly consistent, and breaks best with a SW swell. What we’re getting is tiny WNW/NW windswell with unfriendly wind. It’s going to be small, choppy, and just not worth the effort for a surfer. For a couple of days in the second week, the combined energy is a bit higher, but the wind is still strong and cross, so it’s more of a kite-surfing setup than a surfing one.
There are no standout days. The best you could hope for is a tiny window on the 27th of July, Monday morning, when there’s a 4 ft WNW swell at 10 seconds and a lighter cross breeze, but it’s still described as poor surf. The long gap between now and any real hope is over a week and a half of flat, choppy mediocrity.
Keep the board in the car, but don’t hold your breath. The forecasts can change, but right now, this is a blank run.
Rusty.
