Table - best surf conditions forecast for Foz do Lizandro over the next 16 days.
Alright, this is Rusty here, and I’ve got to be straight with you – the next 16 days are looking pretty grim for Foz do Lizandro. We’re staring down a long, dry spell with no real surf on the cards. The forecasts are all showing "poor surf conditions" with a score of zero, so there’s just nothing to get excited about.
From now through to the end of the month, the swell is tiny – mostly under 3 ft – and the wind is almost always cross or cross-onshore, which is just going to chop things up. The weak combined wave energy, usually below 100, tells the story of a flat ocean. The first decent bit of energy we see is on the morning of July 17th, with a 4 ft swell from the NNW, but that’s still riding a 6-second period and a messy cross-shore wind (combined energy 123). It’s just not worth the paddle.
The river mouth setup here needs a clean swell and favourable winds to work, and we’re not getting either. The water temperature anomaly is about average for the time of year, so no weird currents or surprises there, but it doesn’t matter when there’s no waves.
Honestly, this is one of those stretches where the break just doesn’t cooperate. It’s normal for this area to go quiet, so don’t be too bummed. Forecasts can change, but right now, I’d leave the board at home.
