Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's take a look at what's on the cards for the region.
We've got a window of small, cross-off wind chop coming up, but honestly, it's a tough fortnight. The standout, and really the only time to get a half-decent wave, is the opening weekend. After that, we're staring down a long, flat run for the rest of the 16 days.
Lajao (Baia dos Golfinhos) is your only option here. It’s a beginner-friendly reef break that’s very consistent, and it needs a north-easterly groundswell to fire. Water temp is sitting at a warm 81°, bang on average for this time of year.
The best of it kicks off Saturday, July 4th. We’ve got a 7 ft swell out of the ESE, with a 9-second period. The combined energy is moderate, sitting at 871, so there's enough push for a fun wave. The wind is a cross-off SSE breeze at 12 mph, keeping the surface clean. It's not epic, and the ratings are low, but in this stretch, it's your best shot. Look for it Saturday morning. By afternoon the swell drops to 5 ft and the wind picks up a bit.
Sunday the 5th is similar but a touch smaller in the morning at 6 ft, and the period drops to 9 seconds. The wind stays cross-off, but the overall surf quality is still only marginal.
After Sunday, it’s a long slog. From Monday the 6th right through to the end of the forecast period on July 19th, the swell bottoms out, the period shortens up to 6-7 seconds, and the wave energy (79 to 203) is weak to very weak. The wind turns onshore and cross-shore from the ESE, chopping up what little wave there is. The conditions are consistently rated as 'poor surf' or 'marginal'. There’s simply no surf worth paddling out for over that entire two-week stretch.
So, to sum it up: the best on offer is a brief, marginal window this Saturday and Sunday morning. After that, don't bother waxing up. Forecasts can always change, but for now, it's a flat spell that’s pretty normal for this area.
