The Lowdown
Right folks, pull up a sand dune, let’s talk about what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks. It’s a bit of a slow start, but there’s some real firepower waiting for us if we’re patient.
The first real surfable waves show up on Tuesday morning, but honestly, it’s nothing to write home about. We’re looking at a tiny 3ft swell from the ENE, bumping into the coast with a weak 8-second period. The energy is barely there (152). Tuesday afternoon cleans up nicely with glassy conditions, but the wave size is still just 3ft. It’s a knee-high dribbler for the loggers, not really a proper surf.
Wednesday and Thursday are a write-off. The wind gets messy on Wednesday afternoon with a strong SSW cross-onshore kicking up chop, and the swell stays small. Thursday brings a jump in size to 6ft from the SSE, and the energy bumps up to 615, but the wind is cross-onshore, so it’s a messy, lumpy ocean. Not worth paddling out.
Now, here’s where it gets interesting. Friday, 24th July is a standout. The morning at Molhes de Mampituba picks up a clean 5ft swell from the SE, with a nice cross-off breeze from the N. The energy is pumping at 571, and the water is about average for this time of year. That’s proper shoulder-to-head-high surf, clean walls, and the crowd profile here says it’s often busy, so expect a few heads in the water, but the quality will be worth it. The morning is the best bet.
Saturday morning, 25th July, is also a beauty. Glassy conditions, 5ft from the ESE, and the energy is solid at 499. That’s a clean, fun morning wave. The wind goes a bit cross-on for the afternoon, so get in early.
We hit a bit of a lull for the back half of the week. Sunday, 26th July, is clean in the morning at 4ft, and Monday, 27th July, is glassy at 4ft, but it’s small. Tuesday and Wednesday are tiny and poor.
Now, mark your calendar for Saturday, 1st August. This is the big one. The morning session at Molhes de Mampituba is going to be pumping. We’ve got a 7ft swell from the ENE, clean cross-off wind from the NNE, and the energy is massive at 1094. That’s solid overhead, powerful, and clean. The period is 8 seconds, so it’s a bit of a wind swell, but the quality is "excellent for experienced surfers." This is a big boy’s wave. If you’re a beginner, stay on the sand. The afternoon stays big but gets a bit cross-choppy.
Sunday, 2nd August, is still very good. The morning brings 6ft from the ENE, clean, with energy at 612. That’s another solid overhead day, a little less juice than Saturday but still fantastic.
The trend keeps going into the next week. Tuesday, 4th August, has a clean morning with 5ft from the SE and energy at 681. That’s a sneaky good day.
So, the standouts are clear: Friday 24th July morning for the first real clean session, and Saturday 1st August morning for the absolute peak of the swell. The water is average temp for the time of year, so a spring suit is fine.
Stay stoked.
