The Lowdown
Alright, listen up. Rusty here with the 16-day look at Leste Oeste.
The first stretch is just rubbish. From today, Tuesday the 4th of August, right through to Tuesday the 11th of August, there’s not one good run. That’s over a week of poor surf. The swell sits around 4 to 5 ft from the east, but it’s a dud – short 6-second period windswell with weak energy, mostly between 111 and 233. The wind is a steady 15 to 16 mph from the SE or ESE, either cross or cross-off, which keeps the surface messy. Not worth paddling out.
The water sits at 82°F, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year.
A little hope shows up on Wednesday the 12th of August morning. Swell hits 5 ft from the ESE, period still short at 6 seconds, but combined energy climbs to 210. Wind is cross-off from the SE at 16 mph, so it’ll be clean. The report says “marginal,” so don’t get too excited, but it’s your best early bet.
The standout of the whole forecast is Thursday the 13th of August morning. Swell bumps to 6 ft from the east, period 7 seconds, and combined energy jumps to 318 (moderate, getting strong). Wind is cross-off from the SE at 16 mph – that’s clean, rideable conditions. For a beginner spot, 6 ft is a bit hefty, so watch yourself. Crowds are “sometimes,” so you might see a few others out.
After that, Friday the 14th and Saturday the 15th mornings offer clean cross-off wind with 4 to 5 ft swell, but nothing spectacular. The second week stays the same: consistent east swell, short period, and moderate cross-off mornings.
Honestly, if you kite surf, this constant side-shore wind and chop might be your jam. For paddle surfing, it’s slim pickings.
Rusty.

Information about the Leste Oeste Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Leste Oeste provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Leste Oeste can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Leste Oeste 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 (Leste Oeste) 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 Leste Oeste 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.
Leste Oeste is 6 km (4 miles) from the city of Fortaleza. If you plan a holiday in Ceará, look for hotels and other accommodation in Fortaleza. Fortaleza has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
