The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s look at the next couple of weeks at Molhes de Mampituba. It’s a river/jetty setup, exposed to the sea, and the optimum swell direction is SE. The water temp is sitting at 63°, which is about average for the time of year.

The first few days are a bit of a write-off. We’ve got some small, weak energy on Wednesday afternoon – a tiny 2ft from the ENE with a short 8-second period, and the combined energy is only 109 – weak. It’s glassy, but the conditions are just ordinary. After that, the wind gets messy from Thursday right through the weekend, with a mix of cross-off, cross, and cross-on breezes, and the swell stays small and jumbled. The energy stays low, usually around 100-330, and the wave quality is poor. Not worth paddling out. There’s a gap of a few days where nothing’s happening.

Now, looking ahead to the real standout. The best window is Monday the 24th of August in the morning. The swell is coming up from the SSE at 8ft with a very long period of 15 seconds – that’s proper groundswell, with lots of energy. The combined energy is a strong 2479, and the wind is light from the NNE, blowing cross-off, so it’ll be clean. That’s excellent surf for experienced surfers. The swell direction is a good match for the optimum SE. Just be aware, with a long period groundswell, the sets can be a bit fat at a beach setup, but this is a river/jetty, so it should handle it well. Expect some crowds here – it’s often busy. The Tuesday morning after (25th) is also solid: 5ft SSE swell, 13-second period, light NNE cross-off, clean waves, and the energy is at 696 – moderate. Very good surf.

Into the second week, things get more uncertain. There’s a small window on Wednesday the 26th morning with a glassy, 3ft SSE swell, but it’s small. The 27th morning has a similar 3ft SSE swell, 13-second period, and a light N cross-off, so it could be clean but small. Later in the week, the swell switches back to ENE, and the winds are mostly onshore or cross-on, so it’s poor. The only other interesting blip is Sunday the 30th afternoon: a 5ft ESE swell, but it’s only 6 seconds, so short period, and the energy is 399. It’s glassy, but the quality is just average. After that, the first days of September look pretty grim with onshore winds and tiny surf.

So, for the best bet, get on that Monday the 24th of August morning. It’s the one.

Rusty.
