Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Hey guys, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s brewing at Joaquina. It’s a slow start to the outlook, but the back half has some serious potential if you can wait it out. The water temp is 62°F, which is about 5°F colder than usual for this time of year, so don’t even think about trunks.
The first few days are a total bust. Thursday the 2nd is flat with a 1-foot swell and no energy. Friday the 3rd jumps to 6ft from the SSE, but the wind is hammering onshore at 19 mph from the south, making it a lumpy mess. Saturday the 4th is still mediocre with cross-shore wind and marginal quality.
We finally get a clean window on Sunday, July 5th. The morning is glassy with 5ft of SSE groundswell (11-second period). The wave energy is moderate (488) and it’ll be smooth. It’s not big, but those sets will have some good shape. That’s your best early option. Monday the 6th stays clean but drops to 3ft, so you’ll want a longboard.
After that, we hit a quiet stretch from Tuesday the 9th to Friday the 11th with only 1-2ft waves. Save your energy.
Now for the good stuff. Monday morning, July 13th looks heavy. We’ve got 8ft swell from the south with offshore wind, and the combined wave energy is a massive 2152 – that’s very strong. But here’s the catch: the forecast says it’s likely too big for this spot. This is strictly for experts with big-wave gear. It’s a spectator show for most of us.
The real winner is Tuesday, July 14th morning. Glassy conditions, 6ft of SE groundswell (11-second period), and strong energy (934). The waves will be powerful, clean, and well-shaped. This is your best call for a solid session that’s still manageable for a good intermediate.
Thursday, July 16th morning is another strong option. Glassy again with 6ft from the ESE and a long 13-second period. The energy is high (943) and that long period means more power and deeper takeoffs. Clean conditions and a good chance of some long rides.
The run ends on Friday the 17th with onshore wind and rain, so that’s a no-go.
Bottom line: don’t rush for the first week. The standout is Tuesday, July 14th morning. Monday the 13th morning is for the brave or the foolish. Keep your eyes on that forecast, as long-range calls like the 16th can shift, but it’s looking promising.

Information about the Joaquina Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Joaquina provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Joaquina can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Joaquina 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. If you surf the same spot (Joaquina) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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 Joaquina 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.
Joaquina is 9 km (6 miles) from Florianopolis. If you plan a holiday in Florianópolis, look for hotels and other accommodation in Florianopolis. Florianopolis has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
