The Lowdown
Alright, folks. Rusty here. Let’s break down what the surf is doing for your stretch of coast.
Alright, honestly? For the next week or so, things look pretty grim. It's a long stretch of messy, wind-affected surf with hardly any quality on offer. The first decent pulse of energy doesn't show up until Tuesday, September 1st, but even then the conditions are ordinary.
We start on Thursday morning, August 27th, with a tiny 3ft swell from the east at 8 seconds. That's weak wave energy (120) and while the wind is light and glassy from the NE at 3 mph, the waves are just too small and weak. Water temps are 78°, which is just about average for this time of year. Thursday afternoon is already a write-off as a bigger cross-onshore breeze comes up. That pretty much sets the tone for the next four days: small, choppy surf with poor conditions.
The one date that has a bit more size and something resembling a pulse is Tuesday, September 1st. Jardim Atlantico looks like it will get some 6ft swell early in the morning from the ENE at 8 seconds. The wave energy jumps way up to 771, which is solid. The wind is a moderate cross-shore from the north at 9 mph, so it's not totally clean, but it's the most energy we’ve seen and it won't be as chopped up as the afternoons. That said, this is still a pretty average session – the swell direction isn't ideal for the break, and the crowd factor can be an issue here. There's also a chance of thunderstorms around so keep an eye on the sky.
After that, Wednesday, September 2nd, has a similar 5ft swell early with a gentle cross-shore wind (565 energy), which might be okay for a go, but the conditions are still only marginal. But honestly, this whole run is just not inspiring.
For a beginner, anything over 5ft starts getting too big. Most of this period is under that, but the poor quality and chop makes learning tough. The only real standout window in the whole 16-day run is very early on Tuesday, September 1st, where the pulse of energy is at its highest before the wind turns messy. That’s the one you’d pencil in, but don't expect magic.
Given the persistent onshore and cross-onshore winds and the beach setup, this is looking a lot more interesting for kiting than a paddle session, honestly.
Stay tuned, things can always shift.
