The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the menu for Foz do Lizandro over the next couple of weeks. I gotta be straight with you, as a river break that gets its swell from the Southwest, this forecast is pretty tough. We're staring down a long, dry spell with no decent waves on offer for the entire 16-day window. It's a blank run, and for this spot it's not that unusual when the swell direction isn't cooperating.
Right now, on Sunday the 26th, there's hardly a bump. A tiny 1ft W/NW windswell is getting chopped up by a cross breeze. Monday the 27th does bring a glassy morning with the wind dropping to near nothing, which is nice for a paddle, but that wave height is still a measly 1ft. It's not really surfable. This same story repeats day after day – ankle-biters in the 1ft to 2ft range with mostly cross or cross-onshore winds spoiling any chance of a clean shape.
We do see a bit of a pulse around Thursday the 30th of July, with a short-period NNW swell bumping up to 4ft, but the combined wave energy is still pretty weak. The wind is a fresh 19 mph cross-shore, so it'll be lumpy and messy. Definitely not worth getting excited about.
The pattern continues through the first week of August. Morning of Monday the 3rd offers the biggest wave height we'll see, at 4ft from the WNW, but the wind is cross-onshore and the period is short at 8 seconds. It's gonna be choppy and weak. By Tuesday the 4th, the swell direction swings to the NNW and the period drops to a dismal 6 seconds, making it a complete washout.
The second week is more of the same. A little blip of energy returns on Sunday the 9th of August with 3ft swell, but again it's cross-onshore and poor. Look, if you're a kite surfer, these strong cross-shore winds and bumpy water might look fun, but for a regular paddle session, Foz do Lizandro is a skip for the entire 16-day forecast. Things don't look good, but forecasts can change.
Stay salty,
Rusty
