Alright, let’s put this in feet and miles per hour for you.
So, for Frente A Bahia, the story is the same, just different numbers. The best chance you’ve got is first thing Sunday morning, July 5th. The swell is a clean 3 ft from the southwest, with a really long period of 16 seconds. Wind is dead calm from the SSE at 3 mph—glass city. The water’s a balmy 81°, which is a full 6° warmer than normal for this time of year. The energy is moderate at 657. This is a quiet, inconsistent spot, so if you’re advanced and can pick your line, get out there before the wind turns.
From Sunday afternoon onwards, it’s a long, tough run. The wind goes onshore and stays that way for days. You’ll see the swell bump up to 4 ft on Tuesday morning, July 7th, with a period of 17 seconds and energy at 908, but the wind is all wrong—cross-onshore and choppy. Not worth the fight.
You get a few more mornings of relief. Monday the 13th, Tuesday the 14th, and Thursday the 16th all have glassy conditions and small 3 ft to 3 ft southwest swells. Those are your “fun” days, but they’re mellow. After the 16th, it’s a bust. The swell shrinks to 2 ft or less, with onshore winds kicking up a chop. The energy drops off a cliff. It’s a lot of flat, blown-out water for the second week, with only a brief glassy moment on July 19th with a small 2 ft swell. Not much to write home about.
