Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Molhes de Mampituba over the next couple of weeks.
Right now, there’s a bit of a flat spell to start. Thursday afternoon is a washout – weak 3ft ESE swell with a cross-onshore breeze and the water is feeling way colder than usual for this time of year, a full 3° off the mark. Not worth paddling out for.
Things start to turn around on Saturday morning, July 11th. That’s our first real glimmer. We’ve got a clean 4ft swell from the ESE with a solid 13-second period – that’s proper groundswell. The wind is light and cross-offshore, so the waves will have some shape. The combined energy is kicking up to 554 (moderate), and while it’s fairly consistent here, crowds can be an issue. Still, this is a river jetty setup, so the longer period swell should wrap in nicely. Not for beginners though – it’s intermediate territory.
Sunday morning, July 12th, gets messy. The wind picks up and shifts, putting a cross-chop on the 4ft S swell. Energy is high (638), but the quality drops. Monday is similar: a short-period 5ft S swell (8 seconds) with more cross-chop. That’s borderline for experts only if the wind cleans up.
We get a clean window again on Tuesday morning, July 14th. A 4ft SE swell (9 seconds) with a light cross-offshore N wind. It’s not massive, but the conditions will be clean and rideable. Wednesday morning July 15th is also a good call – same SE swell, dropping to 3ft, but glassy light winds. A nice morning for a longboard or a funboard.
Then we hit a slower patch until Saturday morning July 18th. That’s where it gets interesting. A 6ft NE swell (8 seconds) with clean cross-offshore wind and energy reading 749 (moderate-strong). This is the standout of the whole outlook. It’s pushing into the 5-8ft range, so it’s for experienced surfers only. The swell direction (NE) aligns well with the spot’s optimum (SE), so it should be solid.
Sunday morning July 19th is another cracker: similar size (6ft ENE), same clean wind, another good session. Monday 20th is smaller but still clean in the morning.
The last real highlight is Friday July 24th morning. I’m talking glassy conditions with a 5ft SSE swell (8 seconds) and energy at 626. That’s a worth-setting-the-alarm-for session, and it’s far enough out that you’ll want to watch the forecasts, but the signs are good.
Overall, the first few days are a write-off. From the 11th onwards, there are options, but the real standouts are the 18th and 19th July mornings, and that glassy day on the 24th. The river jetty setup should handle the longer period swells well, but keep an eye on the crowds – this place gets busy.
Stay stoked,
Rusty.
