The Lowdown
Alright, grab a coffee and listen up. Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: the next 16 days at Foz do Lizandro are looking pretty grim. We’ve got a long stretch of crappy onshore wind, small weak swells, and just all-round poor conditions. The water temp is sitting at 69°F, which is about 1°F warmer than normal for this time of year – so not a big deal, just a touch mild. But don’t get excited, that’s about the only decent thing going on.
From Wednesday the 22nd of July right through to the 30th of July, it’s a write-off. We’re talking tiny little 0.3ft to 1ft slop with weak energy (combined swell energy mostly under 50), and constant cross-onshore winds from the NW and WNW. The wind is never offshore, and the wave comment says “poor surf conditions” every single time. Even the stronger wind days just make it lumpy and choppy.
There is one brief pulse of bigger swell around Saturday the 25th of July, with a 5ft to 6ft NW swell, period around 7 seconds, and energy hitting 321 – that’s moderate energy. But the wind is honking from the NNW at 19 mph, cross-onshore and lumpy. That’s not surfable for pleasure, and at 6ft with short period and onshore wind, it’s going to be a messy closeout. For the experts only, if you’re desperate. The rest of us are better off doing something else.
After that, things actually get even smaller, and from Saturday the 1st of August into the second week, the wind stays mostly cross or cross-on, with occasional onshore from the west. There’s a bit more size on Sunday the 2nd of August – 6ft from the NW, period 7 seconds, light onshore wind – but again, it’s poor surf. The energy (279) is moderate, but the wind direction and short period make it a no-go for clean waves.
Honestly, there’s not a single standout session in this whole 16-day window. Not one. It’s rare to see such a consistent run of bad luck for this spot. If you’re a beginner, don’t bother – anything over 5ft is too much, and the conditions are never clean. If you’re an experienced surfer, this setup is more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing when the wind is up, because the waves just won’t hold.
That’s the reality. Nothing to get excited about. Check back next week, forecasts can change quickly.
Rusty.
