Table - best surf conditions forecast for Molhes de Mampituba over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what Molhes de Mampituba has cooking for us. This is a river/jetties setup, and right off the bat, I gotta tell ya, the water is running much colder than normal for this time of year, with a reading of 58°F – that’s a solid 6°F colder than average, so don’t forget the thick rubber.
The good news is, after a quiet start, there’s some real promise building. The first wave we can talk about comes on Thursday, 9th July morning, with clean, surfable waves around 2ft from the ESE. It’s not gonna blow you away, but with a light cross-off wind, it’s a chance to get wet. The energy is moderate (141).
Friday and the weekend see things ramping up. By Saturday, 11th July, we’ve got a beauty of a morning: clean 4ft waves from the ESE with a solid 13-second period. That’s real groundswell energy (557), and the wind is a light cross-off. Saturday afternoon goes glassy with 3ft waves – that’s as clean as it gets. This is the standout of the first week, hands down. The longer period means better-shaped lines and easier paddling between sets, especially working those jetties.
Sunday, 12th July, turns a bit raw with a 5ft S swell but onshore winds picking up, so we’ll let that one slide.
Now, let’s talk about the real highlight of the entire outlook. Mark your calendar for Saturday, 18th July. The morning delivers clean 6ft waves from the ENE, moderate energy (712), with a light cross-off breeze. That’s a proper size, getting up there for intermediates. Then Saturday afternoon? Glassy again, with 6ft waves. That combination of size and absolute glass is a treat. Then Sunday morning, 19th July, backs it up with clean 6ft waves (773) from the ENE. That two-day stretch is the best on offer. Keep in mind, at 6-6ft it’s pushing out of beginner territory, but for anyone with a bit of experience, this is the window.
The second week trails off. By Monday, 20th July, the swell drops to 4ft, and winds get messy. By Thursday, 23rd July, we’re scraping together tiny 2ft waves that are “surfable but very ordinary.” The last few days of the forecast just fade out with very low energy (62-87) and small, weak surf.
So, to sum it up: the first few days are small but rideable. The real juice is from Saturday, 18th July through Sunday, 19th July – that’s your best chance for memorable waves. The rest of the second week is a flat spell, so don’t plan around it. This spot can be a bit of a crowd magnet, especially at a river/jetty, so be ready for company on those standout days.
Stay stoked, and watch the tide.
