The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, Rusty here – gotta keep it real: this 16-day stretch for Frente A Bahia is mostly a waiting game. This wave is advanced, inconsistent, and only works when everything lines up, which ain't often. Water temp's 80.6°F on the 13th, a whopping 6.1°F warmer than normal – feels like summer in July.
First real chance isn't until July 19, so you've got a week of nothing. From July 13 through July 18, it's all poor – cross-onshore wind, choppy, small weak swell. A few mornings tease with light wind but the surf's still too ordinary.

A general guide to surfing at Frente A Bahia can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Frente A Bahia surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period.

Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Frente A Bahia may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
