Table - best surf conditions forecast for Molhes de Mampituba over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin' for the next couple of weeks at Molhes de Mampituba.
Right off the bat, the water's sitting at a chilly 59°, which is a whopping 5° colder than average for this time of year. That's way colder than normal, so you'll be wanting a good, thick steamer.
The first real chance for a surf is Saturday morning, July 11th. We've got a clean, glassy 4ft swell rolling in from the ESE with a solid 13-second period. The energy is moderate (559), and the combination of glassy wind and that long period will make for some nice, lined-up waves. This is the standout session of the next few days.
The rest of the weekend turns into a write-off. Strong onshore winds kick up Sunday, making things a messy cross-chop, with the swell size staying around the 4ft to 5ft mark but all over the place.
Monday morning, July 13th, looks pretty good. A 5ft swell from the south, period of 8 seconds, clean offshores, and a solid energy reading (516). It's a bit of a shorter period, so the waves might be a bit more crumbly, but it'll be surfable.
Tuesday the 14th and Wednesday the 15th see the swell swinging back to the ESE, around 5ft, with clean morning winds. Wednesday morning in particular stands out – 5ft from the ESE (793 energy) and light offshore winds. That's your best bet for the first week.
Thursday the 16th is a classic Mampituba morning: 4ft but with a long 12-second period from the ESE and clean offshores. Those long-period waves will be peeling nicely down the jetty, but watch out for the occasional long lull between sets.
There's a bit of a flat spot building through the second week. The swell drops off noticeably for a few days from around the 18th, with small waves and some messy wind. By Monday the 20th, we're scraping the bottom of the barrel with a 3ft easterly swell and light rain. Not worth getting out of bed for.
Now, hold onto your board. By Saturday the 26th, the models are hinting at a big pulse of ENE swell, a solid 10ft, but with a short 8-second period. The energy is massive (1775), but that's way too much juice for this spot. The forecast actually says it's too big for the break. That kind of size at Mampituba is strictly for the experts, and even then, it'll be a wild, washing-machine affair. Sunday the 27th is still dumping an 8ft swell, but the wind will have swung around and ruined it.
All in all, your best window is the Saturday morning of July 11th, the Wednesday morning of July 15th, and the Thursday morning of July 16th.
Rusty out.
