The Lowdown

Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for the next couple of weeks.

Alright, the overall picture for Molhes de Mampituba is a bit of a slow starter, but it builds into a proper run of clean, groundswell windows. The water is sitting at 58.8°F which is a touch over 4.7°F colder than usual for this time of year, so you’ll be wanting a decent steamer.

The first real standout is going to be Friday morning, July 17th. The swell is pushing 6.2ft from the ENE with a period of 8 seconds, and that light NNE breeze is producing clean, cross-offshore conditions. The wave energy is moderate (849). It’s a solid, clean option for an intermediate.

But the real highlight of this whole period, the one you want to circle, is Saturday morning, July 18th. The swell has bumped up to a solid 7.2ft from the ENE, period holding at 9 seconds, and you’ve got a gentle NNE breeze keeping it glassy. The combined energy is strong (1181). This is excellent surf for experienced surfers. It’s going to be a proper session.

There’s a bit of a lull through the middle of the week with smaller, choppier conditions, but a couple of glassy mornings are worth a look. Monday morning, July 20th, sees a 3.6ft E swell with zero wind—completely glassy. Also Tuesday morning, July 21st, offers a 3.6ft ENE swell with glassy conditions. Both are small but clean for the log.

The next big call is a long-range one, so keep an eye on it. Wednesday morning, July 29th, has a 5.9ft ENE swell with glassy conditions and moderate energy (599). And then the end of the forecast window gets interesting. Friday, July 31st, the afternoon shows a 9.8ft SSW groundswell with a period of 11 seconds and very strong energy (2850). That’s a lot of water, but it’s predicted to be too big for this break. If you’re a very experienced local, it might be worth a look, but be warned.

Crowds are listed as "often" at Molhes de Mampituba, so expect company, especially on those clean weekend mornings.
