The Lowdown
Alright, grab your wettie, let’s talk about what’s on the menu for Foz do Lizandro.
Honestly, for the next couple of weeks, we’re looking at a pretty flat and frustrating stretch. The ocean’s going to be doing a whole lot of nothing for most of this run. We’ve got a long gap of poor, unrideable conditions stretching from Saturday the 8th all the way through to the morning of Thursday the 21st. That’s a solid two-week drought of surf, so don’t get your hopes up for anything decent in the near term.
The only glimmer of light on the horizon is that Thursday morning of the 21st. We might see a pulse of new energy, with a summary swell height of 3ft coming from the northwest. The period is a solid 12 seconds, which means it’ll have a bit of push to it. The combined energy levels are finally up there, hitting 222, which is the strongest we see in the whole window. It’s still a marginal call, and the cross-shore wind will keep it from being perfect, but it’s the only thing that even looks like a wave. Even then, the afternoon drops right back off, so you’ll want to be out there early.
The rest of the time, we’re dealing with tiny, short-period slop. There is a morning on the 15th with some glassy conditions, but the swell is only 1ft and the energy is weak at 35. It’s a tease. Then again, the 17th and 18th have some clean, cross-offshore mornings, but the swell is a pathetic 0.3ft with a very long period from the southwest. That’s not a wave, that’s a ripple. It looks better for a paddle than a paddle-out.
The water temp is sitting at 69°, which is about normal for this time of year, so the rubber is optional if you’re tough.
So, to be straight with you: there are no good surf options in this 16-day window. The consistency just isn’t there. But this spot is fairly consistent in general, so a blank run like this tends not to last forever. Forecasts can and will change. For now, keep the board in the car, but don’t be surprised if you’re just waxing it for nothing.
Rusty out.
