Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a squiz at what's on the menu for Foz do Lizandro over the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, it’s a pretty grim outlook. Over the entire 16-day window, every single surf session is flagged as poor surf conditions. There isn't a single standout worthy of your board wax. We’re looking at a long, flat spell with no real window for a decent wave.
Starting from Saturday the 4th, we’ve got minimal swell. Saturday afternoon brings a tiny 2 ft from the WNW, period at 10 seconds, but with a cross-on wind making it messy. The combined swell energy is a weak 57. That sets the tone for the first week. Sunday the 5th through to Thursday the 10th offer nothing over 2 ft, with most days seeing cross or cross-on breezes. The swell energy stays well under 100, mostly in the teens and twenties, which is just gutless.
We see a slight nudge on Friday the 11th of July, where the combined energy jumps to 119 (moderate energy) with a 3 ft WNW swell, but the cross-onshore wind and short 8-second period mean it will be too crumbly to bother with. By Sunday the 12th, the swell pushes up to 3 ft from the NW, and the energy hits 174, but we've got direct onshore wind both morning and afternoon. That’s just blown-out whitewash.
The second week doesn’t get any better. From the 13th through to the 19th, the biggest swell shows up on Sunday the 19th, with 5 ft from the NNW, but it's short period at 6 seconds and the wind is a strong cross-shore breeze at 25 mph. That sort of setup kicks up the combined energy to 271 (moderate energy), but with that wind and short period, it’s going to be lumpy, messy, and not surfable on a shortboard. For the bigger days with onshore wind, the beach setup here honestly looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
Water temp is a very average 67°F, which is about normal for the time of year.
The bottom line: Foz do Lizandro has a blank run with zero good surf options across the entire 16-day window. It's one of those periods where you just have to wait it out. Forecasts can change, but right now, you're better off doing something else.
Rusty.
