The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Itapema over the next couple of weeks.
Well, I gotta be straight with you – it’s a pretty grim stretch ahead. There’s a big ol’ gap of dead-flat, poor conditions from now through the first few days, with barely a ripple to get excited about. The first real glimmer of anything surfable doesn’t show up until Tuesday the 11th, and even then, it’s a one-hit wonder before things go quiet again.
We’ve got a wee bit of pulse coming in around Monday the 11th and Tuesday the 12th. On Monday morning, we’ll see a tiny southeast swell around 3ft, with a period of 6 seconds, coming in at a combined energy of just 60 – real weak stuff, but it’s the biggest we’ve got. Winds are light and cross-shore from the south, which’ll keep it kinda messy. Not what I’d call a stand-out, but if you’re desperate, you could find a lippy little bank.
Honestly, across the whole 16-day window, there’s nothing here that screams “go time”. The water temp is about average for this time of year. For the most part, it’s either flat, blown out, or both. If you’re a kite surfer, you might find some fun on a couple of those cross-shore, breezy afternoons, but for a paddle surfer, it’s a waiting game. It tends not to stay this poor for long, so keep an eye on the forecast – things can change.
Signing off, Rusty.
