The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s on offer at Molhes de Mampituba. We’ve got a solid run of surf ahead, but it’s a bit of a mixed bag, so you’ll want to pick your moments.
The water's sitting at 59°, which is a hefty 5° colder than usual for this time of year. That’s well into "grab a thicker suit" territory.
The first real window gets going on Tuesday morning, 14 July. We’re looking at a clean 5ft SE swell with a 10-second period, and a light N breeze keeping it cross-off. The energy is moderate (451), and it’s going to be surfable. The afternoon goes to crap though, with a strong NE wind blowing it out.
Wednesday morning, 15 July, is a bit smaller at 4ft but still clean with that light N wind. A decent option if you’re flexible.
The standout in the first week is shaping up to be Friday morning, 17 July. The swell jumps to 7ft from the ENE, still with a clean cross-off breeze. The energy is solid (863), and the conditions are rated as very good. That’s your best bet for the week.
Thursday morning, 23 July, is another clean one at 4ft ENE with a nice cross-off, but it’s not the size of that Friday.
Now, hold onto your board. The real firecracker is at the end of the run. On Monday morning, 27 July, we’ve got a serious 8ft SSE groundswell with a 13-second period. A light NNW offshore wind is going to have it glassy. The energy is huge (1956), and this is aimed squarely at experienced surfers. This is a big, powerful, clean swell – but remember, a long period like that can make beach breaks a bit straight, so this river/jetty setup should handle it well. That’s the absolute highlight of the whole outlook, but it’s over a week away, so keep an eye on it.
Tuesday morning, 28 July, also looks excellent with a 7ft SE swell, 13-second period, and a light WSW cross-off. Another one for the experts.
The last few days of July and into the 29th still have solid 7ft ENE swell with clean conditions, but the wind is a bit stronger. Still, plenty of fun to be had.
There’s a gap in the middle – around the 20th to the 22nd – things get small and ordinary before that big weekend pulse arrives. Don’t get discouraged by that flat spell; it’s just the calm before the storm.
Rusty.
