Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what’s coming our way for the next couple of weeks. To be straight with you, it’s looking like a pretty quiet and frustrating stretch for most of us, but there is a little glimmer of hope way out there.
The water's sitting at 69°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. That's a nice little bonus for the early morning paddle.
The story for the next few days is small, messy surf. We’ve got a lot of cross and cross-onshore winds that are making a mess of things. The combined energy is mostly weak to moderate, bouncing around between 32 and 163. The swell heights are tiny, barely a ripple, with short periods. Honestly, the surf is poor, so don't expect much. This flat spell runs right through until the afternoon of Saturday, July 19th.
Now, the one thing that catches my eye is the morning of Sunday, July 19th at Foz do Lizandro. It’s a river break that’s fairly consistent and sometimes crowded, so you might have some company. We’re looking at a pulse of 4ft of swell from the West, with a period of 12 seconds. That’s a proper groundswell, and it’s packing a combined energy of 502, which is strong. The wind is light from the WNW, just a light cross-onshore with small wind ripples. For a river break, that longer period swell (over 11 seconds) can really set up a nice line. It’s not perfect, but it’s the best thing on the table by a long shot. Keep in mind, though, it’s over a week away, so don't get too married to the idea just yet. The afternoon of that same day gets blown out with a moderate cross-onshore, so make sure you’re in the water early.
After that, it goes back to being small and choppy. There’s a day with some fresh cross-shore winds up to 19 mph and a swell of about 3ft, which might actually be more interesting for the kite crew than for us on a paddle board.
So to sum it up: there’s a long, flat wait, but the morning of the 19th at Foz do Lizandro is your best shot at a proper, clean-ish wave. Don't hold your breath for anything else.
