The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. We’ve got a quiet stretch ahead for the Foz do Lizandro region. Let’s be straight with you – the next 16 days don’t look too flash. There’s not a single standout session in the bunch, and it’s a bit of a waiting game.
The first couple of weeks are dominated by weak, messy swell. The wind is mostly a cross or cross-onshore affair, which is gonna keep the surface lumpy and choppy. The energy is just not there – most of the combined swell energy readings are sitting below 100 (like 31, 67, 78, 72), which is weak. There’s a bit of a tease on the morning of Tuesday 4th August, where Foz do Lizandro (Portugal) sees a clean, glassy start with a light WNW swell of about 3 feet and a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy ticks up to 127 (moderate), and the wind is glassy. That’s the best window we’ve got, but it’s still a small, short-period wave. It’s surfable, but don’t expect any barrels.
Other than that tiny window, it’s a long, dry run. The swell drops off a cliff from the 9th of August onwards, with tiny 0.3 foot swells and energy readings as low as 3. The wind stays messy, and by the 13th and 14th, we’ve got strong breeze (28 mph) making it impossible. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
Honestly, for nearly two weeks, this is a blank stretch. If you’re desperate, the 4th of August morning is your only hope – it’s clean, small, and there’s a chance of a few fun ones if you’ve got a log. The rest of the time, leave the board in the car. The forecast can always change, but right now, it’s looking poor.
Rusty.
