The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down in feet and miles per hour, Rusty style.
Truth is, this is a grim 16-day stretch for Foz do Lizandro. I’ve combed through it all and there’s not a single session I’d call good. The whole forecast is littered with “poor surf conditions” and the numbers back it up. The combined swell energy barely gets into the moderate range, topping out at 207 late in the run, but it’s cursed with bad wind.
From Sunday the 2nd of August through the first week, forget it. Swell is tiny – between 1ft and 3ft – with short periods of 5 to 10 seconds and lousy cross, cross-on, or onshore winds. The energy is mostly weak, below 100. A couple of days hit 130-132 on Tuesday the 4th, but it’s onshore and poor.
Second week is even worse. From Monday the 10th of August, the swell crashes to almost nothing, with combined energy in the teens and twenties (very weak). Fresh cross-shore winds make it lumpy and choppy. Wednesday the 12th has a little 2ft bump with 92 energy, but again, cross-on and choppy.
The only tiny glimmer is Saturday the 15th of August. Early morning is glassy with a slight breeze, and the swell is 2ft from the WNW with an 8-second period. Energy is low (35), but that glassy surface would be the cleanest moment of the whole period. By afternoon, the swell jumps to 5ft from the NW with a short 6-second period and onshore wind, pushing energy to 207, but with that short period and onshore, it’ll be a frothy, choppy mess – more for kites than paddle boards.
Sunday the 16th gives a small 3ft cross-shore morning with a gentle breeze and slight chop – okay for a longboard if you’re really keen. Monday the 17th is fresh cross-shore wind and lumpy.
So bottom line: no good surf options in this 16-day window. It’s a dry spell, which is pretty normal for this spot when the wind patterns don’t cooperate. Leave the board at home and wait for the next system. Forecasts can always flip, but right now, it’s a hard pass.
Rusty.
