The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s cooking for our local stretch.
Honestly, it’s a pretty flat and frustrated picture for the next couple of weeks. We’ve got a long stretch of small, weak swell and onshore winds that are going to keep things mostly messy. The most notable thing is that from now, the 15th of July, right through to the end of the month, the surf is almost always too small and too wind-affected to get excited about. There are a few windows where the morning conditions clean up, but the swell is tiny.
The only real window of interest comes on Thursday morning, the 16th of July, at Marataizes. It’s a beginner-friendly spot, exposed to the south, but it's inconsistent. The water is a warm 75° with a water temperature anomaly of 0.7°, so it’s about average for the time of year. We’ll see a 2ft swell from the ESE, with a period of 11 seconds. That’s a long-period groundswell, which will give the waves some shape but with long lulls between sets. The wind is light and cross-offshore from the north at 6 mph, making it glassy clean. The combined wave energy is weak (100). It’s not going to be stellar, but it’s the best we’ve got in this run.
The Thursday afternoon immediately gets blown out by a strong east wind.
Friday the 17th morning has a similar clean look, with a 4ft swell from the east, but the period drops to just 6 seconds (short-period windswell), which will be weak and crumbly. The combined energy is moderate (177). The Friday afternoon and the entire weekend into next week just get hammered by strong onshore winds, with the swell rarely breaking 3ft.
The second week, from around the 22nd of July onward, is a write-off. The swell drops to nothing, mostly under 2ft, and the wind keeps coming from the east or northeast, ruining any chance of clean surf. The combined energy levels are barely registering (27 to 62). The only notable thing is a glassy morning on the 25th of July with 2ft, but it’s virtually flat.
For a surfer, this is a real bummer. There’s just not enough energy or clean wind to make a session worthwhile. If you’re desperate, the Thursday 16th morning is the pick, but it’s a call for the longboard or a beginner to get some practice on small, clean waves. Otherwise, it’s a good time to check the forecast again in a few days. For kite surfing, the strong afternoon cross-onshore winds and the small, lumpy surf might be more interesting than paddle surfing, especially around the 17th to the 20th.

Information about the Marataizes Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Marataizes provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Marataizes can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Marataizes 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 (Marataizes) 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 Marataizes 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.
Marataizes is 2 km (1 miles) from Itapemirim. If you plan a holiday in Espírito Santo, look for hotels and other accommodation in Itapemirim. Itapemirim has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
