G'day, I'm Rusty. Let's get straight into it.
Right now, there's nothing doing, but we have a couple of windows that'll get the stoke going. The first few days are mostly a bust, with the swell all over the place and the wind not doing us any favours. The water's sitting at 60°F, which is about 4°F colder than average for this time of year—chilly enough to notice.
The first real window is Sunday morning, July 5th, at Molhes de Mampituba. We're looking at a 5ft swell from the SSE with an 11-second period, packing moderate energy (594). The wind is light at 10 km/h from the north, blowing clean cross-offshore, so the face will be smooth. Being a river/jetty setup, that longer-period swell should wrap in nicely. It's fairly consistent, but crowds are often a factor here. The swell direction is a good fit for the optimum SE angle. This is your best bet for the first week.
After that, we hit a quiet spell through the middle of the week. The swell drops to nothing, with a few days of small, chopped-up waves and onshore winds. On Thursday morning, July 9th, there's a tiny 2ft ripple from the ESE (95 energy) with glassy conditions, but it's hardly worth paddling out for.
The real highlight is further out, on Saturday, July 18th. That morning, Molhes de Mampituba gets a solid 8ft pulse from the SSW (11-second period), with a huge energy reading of 2209. The wind is offshore from the NNE at 20 km/h, keeping it clean. That's a serious, long-period groundswell, but at 8ft it's in the expert-only zone—leave the foam boards at home. The same conditions hold into the afternoon, still 8ft and clean. This is the standout of the whole 16 days.
Sunday, July 19th brings a 10ft monster from the S, 12-second period, and a massive 3900 energy. But the forecast warns the swell is predicted to be too big for the break, with a cross-on wind from the east. For kite surfers, that looks like heaven, but for paddle surfing, it's a whole lot of moving water and trouble.
So, pencil in July 5th for a fun, clean session, and July 18th for the big-wave crew only.
Rusty.
