Molho Leste Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin' at Molho Leste.

First up, the water temp is about what you'd expect for this time of year, so no nasty surprises there.

Honestly, the outlook for the next couple of weeks is pretty bleak. We're lookin' at a long stretch of very ordinary to poor conditions right through until the middle of next week. A lot of cross-off winds, small weak swell, and generally just nothing to get excited about. The energy in the water is mostly weak, with readings like 573 (moderate) on Monday the 7th, but the conditions are just off.

The first real glimmer of hope doesn't come until early on Tuesday the 15th of September. The early morning shows some glassy conditions with a small 3ft swell from the NW, period around 9 seconds. The combined energy is a weak 133, so it's not packing much punch, but the clean surface will be a welcome sight. This is the only real standout in the whole forecast, and even then, it's a small, weak option. It might be worth a paddle for the desperate, but don't expect much.

Now, let's talk about the next chance. On Wednesday the 16th, we get a bit more size for the morning with a 4ft swell from the NW, period 11 seconds (moderate energy of 399), and clean cross-off winds. It's a better looking wave than Tuesday, but still, nothing to write home about. And Sunday the 20th afternoon shows a tiny pulse from the NW again (2ft, period 12 seconds, energy 110), but still with clean cross-off winds.

After that, from Monday the 21st onward, it completely drops out again with tiny, weak, and inconsistent swells.

So, to sum it up: we've got a real dry spell here. The one small standout is the clean, glassy morning on the 15th. Otherwise, it's a waiting game.

Rusty, signing off.
