Table - best surf conditions forecast for Molho Leste over the next 16 days.
Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks. I’ll be honest with you, it’s a bit of a lean stretch. We’re looking at Molho Leste, a sandbar set-up that’s inconsistent at the best of times, and it’s going to be a long wait for anything surfable.
The whole 16-day window looks pretty flat. Starting now, there’s a gap of several days with no real swell to speak of. The first hint of anything comes on Saturday morning, July 11th, but it’s a tiny 1ft from the NW with a period of 11 seconds. The wind is a light cross-off from the NNE, so the surface will be clean, but the combined wave energy is weak (69). It’s poor surf, honestly. The water is sitting at 64°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year.
The pattern continues through the weekend and into the next week. We get a few pulses of small swell, never getting above 2ft. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, keeping things choppy and messy. The combined energy is weak, mostly in the low two-digit or even one-digit numbers. There’s not a single session that looks worth paddling out for.
Moving into the second week, from around July 18th, it goes completely flat. We’re talking zeros for wave energy for days on end. There’s a tiny, tiny bump of 0.3ft from the SW late on the 18th, but with a period over 15 seconds, it’s basically just a ripple. The wind is mostly cross-off, but with no swell, it’s irrelevant.
The last few days of the outlook, from July 22nd, we see a small uptick. The morning of the 22nd is still flat, but by the afternoon we get a 1ft pulse from the WNW with a 10-second period and a clean cross-off wind from the NNW. The combined energy is still weak (45), but it’s the best we’ll see. The 23rd and 24th look similar, with small, clean waves but nothing with any grunt. It’s all very marginal.
Honestly, for this spot, a blank run like this is pretty normal. It’s inconsistent, and when the swell is this small and the wind is all over the shop, there’s nothing to get excited about. The whole outlook is a solid “don’t bother.” Forecasts can change, but for now, leave the boards in the car.

Information about the Molho Leste Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Molho Leste provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Molho Leste can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Molho Leste 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 (Molho Leste) 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 Molho Leste 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.
