G’day, Rusty here.
Look, the next 16 days at Molhes de Mampituba are a bit of a mixed bag. The water is running much colder than normal for this time of year at 59° – that’s nearly 5° below average, so you’ll want the thickest steamer you’ve got. We kick off Monday morning, but honestly, it’s nothing to write home about with a cross-on breeze and small, weak swell. The real interest starts to build by the end of the first week.
Monday the 6th is a write-off – messy cross-shore wind and only 4 ft of short-period SE swell, giving us weak to moderate energy (379). Afternoon gets even worse with poor conditions. Tuesday the 7th morning looks a bit cleaner with a light cross-off breeze and 4 ft of SSW swell, but it’s short period at 7 seconds so it’ll be a bit fat and soft.
Wednesday the 8th morning is the first real chance for a decent paddle – clean offshore wind from the NNW, 3 ft of S swell with a nice 11-second period, giving it some shape. It’s small but clean. Energy is moderate (226).
Things start to cook on Friday the 10th. Morning is glassy with 3 ft of ESE swell at 11 seconds, and the afternoon holds glassy conditions with 3 ft. That’s your pick for a relaxed, clean session during the first week.
But the standout – and I mean the real standout – is Saturday the 11th morning. Glassy offshore cross-off breeze, 4 ft of ESE swell at a very long 14-second period, and the combined energy jumps to 673. That’s strong, powerful groundswell. The river/jetties setup at Molhes de Mampituba should handle that long-period energy well, offering some proper walls. Crowds are likely here though, so get in early.
Sunday the 12th turns ugly – strong cross-shore winds around 15-19 mph and lumpy, 5 ft swell – more of a kite day than a paddle day. Monday the 13th morning still has some size (5 ft) but the wind is moderate and the conditions are marginal.
By Tuesday the 15th, we get another pulse – 5 ft on Wednesday the 15th morning but from the NE, short period at 7 seconds, and cross-shore wind. Not great. The following week fades out with small waves under 3 ft and inconsistent conditions through to the 21st. A few clean windows on the 16th morning and 17th with glassy conditions, but wave heights are tiny.
So for my money, Saturday the 11th morning is your best shot – solid groundswell, clean wind, and decent size. Friday the 10th is a solid backup for a fun, glassy session on smaller waves.
Stay wet,
Rusty
