G’day, Rusty here again. We’ve got one spot to keep an eye on over the next 16 days. The action starts on Saturday the 4th of July with a solid pulse, then runs through to Sunday the 19th.
Alright, let’s hit Galheta do Norte. This break is consistent and open to the south-east, which is exactly what this swell window gives us. Come Saturday morning the 4th of July, there’s a 7ft swell from the south at 12 seconds – that’s a proper groundswell with strong energy (1352). Winds are cross-off from the west-southwest at 9 mph, so it’s glassy. Conditions are excellent for experienced surfers, and crowds can show up sometimes, so get in early.
Sunday the 5th of July is the pick. The swell drops to 6ft from the south-southeast, still 11 seconds, with moderate energy (789). But the wind goes glassy from the north-northwest at 3 mph – dead calm. Expect very good surf. This is the one.
Monday the 6th of July sees the swell drop to 2ft with a very long 18-second period from the south-southeast – that’s a long groundswell, prone to closing out at beach breaks. Winds are cross-off, but it’s marginal. Tuesday the 7th has a messy 6ft swell with short period and choppy wind. Wednesday the 8th and Thursday the 9th are clean but small, around 3ft to 4ft – good for a longboard.
Friday the 10th is a wipeout with onshore wind and poor surf. Saturday the 11th picks up with a 3ft, 13-second southeast groundswell and light cross-off wind – clean but ordinary. Crowds are a chance.
There’s a dry spell from Monday the 13th of July through Tuesday morning the 14th. Tuesday the 14th morning brings a clean 4ft from the south with a light cross-off – worth a session.
For the big-wave hunters, Thursday the 16th of July sees a huge 10ft swell from the south at 10 seconds, with extreme energy (3342). The wind is cross from the south-southwest at 16 mph, making it lumpy. This is over 8ft, so experts only. Friday the 17th holds at 8ft from the south-southeast, 15 seconds, with strong energy (3063), but the wind is cross and onshore – marginal for the brave.
Saturday the 18th of July is a nice drop to 5ft, 13-second swell, with clean cross-off winds – that’s a promising session in the second week, though less certain at this range. Sunday the 19th wraps it with a 5ft north-east swell, short 7-second period, but clean and surfable.
Rusty, signing off.
