The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s break down the surf for the next couple of weeks.
Right now, the ocean’s pretty sleepy. First few days are quiet and not worth paddling out for. Then things start to stir toward the end of the first week, and we’ve got a couple of proper sessions lined up.
The only break in the report is Molhes de Mampituba (Rio Grande do Sul). Water temp is 64°F, right on the mark for this time of year.
The first few days are a write-off. Saturday the 1st has a 6ft NE swell with a 7-second period, but the wind is messy and it’s all over the place. Sunday the 2nd is just as bad – small and junky. Monday the 3rd morning is a touch cleaner with a 3ft ENE swell and light offshore wind, but it’s weak, low energy. Tuesday the 4th morning is the first half-decent window – a clean 3ft SSE swell with an 11-second period and glassy conditions. It’s small, but it might be your only chance for a few in that stretch. Rest of that week is mostly poor.
The first real swell arrives Friday the 7th – a 7ft S pulse, energy jumps, but the wind is cross and it’s messy. Not good. The weekend is rough, with strong SSW winds and lumpy conditions on Sunday. Not worth it.
Then the first true standout shows up on Tuesday the 11th morning. This is the one. A solid 7ft S swell with a 13-second period – proper groundswell. The wind is a light N at 3 mph, offshore and glassy. Energy is huge. This will be clean, powerful and well-formed. It’s a jetty setup, so that long-period energy will hold up. For experienced surfers only – this is beyond beginner territory. Expect some company in the water.
After that, Wednesday and Thursday are smaller and less interesting. But the second week has another big window. Saturday the 15th morning looks excellent – another 8ft S swell, though the period is shorter at 9 seconds, so not as clean. Wind is offshore and glassy, energy is pumping. This one’s for experts, no question. The following day, Sunday the 16th morning, keeps things going with a 7ft SSE swell at 12 seconds and cross-off winds – another solid, clean day for the experienced crew.
So, bottom line: the next few days are flat and boring. The first real gem is Tuesday the 11th – best mix of size, period and clean conditions. The 15th and 16th are also promising, but those are a week-plus out, so don’t book your flights yet. If you’re picking one day, make it the 11th.
Stay stoked.
Rusty.
