Alright, Rusty here, let’s talk about what’s got my eye. This is a look at the surf for Molhes de Mampituba, a river/jetty set-up that’s fairly consistent and exposed to the south-east. The water temp is about what you’d expect for this time of year, nothing wild.
Right off the bat, we’re looking at a bit of a slow start. The first few days are pretty average, with small bump and onshore junk. Monday and Tuesday have some clean windows but the swell is tiny, barely a ripple. Wednesday morning is the first real hint of something decent – a clean 3 ft from the south with an 11-second period and light offshore air, but it’s more of a fidget than a proper session. The combined energy is weak (224) so don’t get too excited.
Thursday and Friday stay small and ordinary. Even Friday morning goes glassy, but the swell is still puny. It’s not until Saturday morning, July 11th, that we get a proper kick. That morning brings a clean 4 ft swell from the east-southeast with a 13-second period and light offshore wind, backed by a moderate energy reading of 554. That’s a standout window – the longer period will shape up nicely on this jetty, and the light cross-off breeze keeps the faces clean. Crowds are often here, so don’t expect to have it to yourself.
Sunday afternoon the 12th is another beaut – glassy conditions, 5 ft from the south-southeast at 12 seconds, and energy climbing to 799. The swell is still manageable for intermediates, and that super clean surface will have the bank looking fun.
Then things take a turn. Monday the 13th morning brings a big 10 ft swell from the south-southeast with 9-second period and strong 19 mph cross-off wind. The combined energy is a massive 2105. That is expert territory, and honestly, with that much size and a shorter period, this jetty might turn into a washing machine. A set-up like this is more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing when it gets that heavy and messy. Monday afternoon and Tuesday are still big and clean but still too big for most.
Things settle back down by Wednesday the 15th morning with glassy 5 ft surf, and then Thursday the 16th morning is a real highlight – a clean 4 ft from the southeast with an 11-second period and light offshore breeze, energy at 620. The swell direction lines up perfectly with the spot’s optimum, and that’s going to wrap in nice.
The rest of the second week looks less exciting: small, onshore wind and chop. But look ahead – Sunday the 19th and Monday the 20th mornings both pump out clean 6 ft from the east-southeast with 9 to 10-second period, and energy values over 1000. That’s promising but remember it’s long-range, so more of a hopeful mark in the calendar than a guarantee. For the experienced crew, those mornings are the ones to circle.
All in all, the best bet is Saturday the 11th morning for decent size and quality, and Thursday the 16th morning for a cleaner, more manageable session. The rest is either too small or too big, with a lot of wind chop in between.
