The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’m gonna level with you – this forecast is a tough one. For the next 16 days, there’s really nothing worth paddling out for at Foz do Lizandro. We’ve got a long stretch of tiny, weak swell and crummy wind, so don’t expect any magic.
The first recommendation pops up on Monday, 27 July, but don’t get excited. It’s a tiny 1 ft wave from the WNW, with a cross-onshore breeze at 9 mph. The water’s sitting at 69°, which is pretty average for the time of year. The energy is weak (15), and the conditions are just poor. That sets the tone for the whole run.
Tuesday, 28 July, through to Friday, 31 July, is more of the same – 0.5 ft to 2 ft, mostly WNW swell, with cross or cross-onshore winds up to 16 mph. The energy barely cracks 50 (51 at best on Thursday), and it’s all labelled “poor surf conditions.” You’d be better off cleaning your wax out of the car.
We go into the first week of August, Saturday 1st to Monday 3rd, and the swell picks up a bit to 2 ft to 3 ft, still from the W or WNW. The energy nudges into the moderate range (59 to 91), but the wind is still cross or cross-onshore at 12 to 16 mph. It’s a cross-chop mess. Not a single standout here.
Tuesday, 4 August, and Wednesday, 5 August, see the swell hit 4 ft, which is the biggest of the whole period. The energy climbs to 170 (moderate), but the period is only 8 seconds – short-period wind swell, and the wind is cross-onshore at 6 to 12 mph. For a river mouth, that’s going to be lumpy and uninviting. If you’re a kite surfer, the setup might be more interesting than for paddling, but for a surfboard, it’s a hard pass.
After that, it drops off a cliff. Thursday, 6 August, to Friday, 7 August, the swell crashes back to 2 ft and 1 ft, with fresh cross-winds up to 19 mph. The energy is pathetic (36 down to 18). Then, from Saturday, 8 August, right through to Tuesday, 11 August, the swell flatlines to zero. The wind is howling cross-shore at 22 to 28 mph – that’s strong breeze territory, with messy chop. No surf at all.
I can’t point you to a single highlight here. The whole 16-day window is a blank run. Foz do Lizandro is a fairly consistent spot, so this kind of stretch is a bit unusual, but it happens. Forecasts can change, so keep an eye on it, but right now, leave the board in the bag.
Rusty.
