Table - best surf conditions forecast for Foz do Lizandro over the next 16 days.
Alright everyone, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s looking like for Foz do Lizandro over the next couple of weeks. I’ll be honest with you – it’s a grim picture. There are no good wave days in sight. We’re looking at a solid 16-day stretch with nothing really worth paddling out for.
The first wave we see is on Wednesday morning, July 8th. Foz do Lizandro has a tiny 3ft swell coming from the NNW with a really short period of 5 seconds. The wind is a cross-shore from the North at 12 mph, messing up the surface. The combined wave energy is weak at 65, and the overall quality is poor.
Throughout the first week and into the next, the story doesn't change. We get small, weak swells from the WNW and NW, with periods mostly under 10 seconds and cross-onshore winds. The water temp is average for the time of year. On Saturday afternoon, July 11th, we see a period bump to 11 seconds, with moderate energy (122), but the cross-onshore wind from the NW at 12 mph keeps it messy and unrideable.
By the middle of the second week, around July 15th and 16th, the swell height gets closer to 3-4ft. On Thursday morning, July 16th, we see a 4ft swell from the W, but with a weak 7-second period and an onshore wind from the NNW at 9 mph. The energy is moderate at 128, but the chop is bad.
Even as we get deeper into the month, around July 19th and 20th, the swell pushes to 4ft or even 4ft, but it’s still short-period junk (5-6 seconds) from the N and NNW. Cross-onshore winds are a constant problem. The rest of the month, right up to July 23rd, is the same story – small, weak, and messy.
There’s nothing to highlight here. No standout days. It’s a long, flat, blown-out run for Foz do Lizandro. If the wind stays up, it might be a better session for a kite, but for us surfers, it’s a big fat zero. The forecast can change, but right now, we’re in the hole.
Rusty.
