Table - best surf conditions forecast for Molhes de Mampituba over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here. Let's get into the surf outlook for the next couple of weeks.
The first decent action is at Molhes de Mampituba, a river/jetty spot that's fairly consistent. The water is 58° – that's a whopping 5° colder than normal for this time of year, so you're gonna feel that sting. A thick wetsuit is a must.
The best of the early run is on Monday morning, July 13th. The swell is 5ft from the S, not huge, but the wind is light and offshore from the W, keeping things clean. The wave energy is moderate (513) and it's looking like a proper session.
Tuesday morning, July 14th is another good one. The swell edges up to 5ft from the SE, and with a light cross-offshore breeze from the NNE, it's clean and fun. The energy is moderate (442) and the direction is working well.
Wednesday morning, July 15th keeps the run going. The swell is 5ft from the ESE, and with a light N wind, the conditions are set to be very good.
The real standout is further out. On Wednesday morning, July 22nd, the swell jumps to 7ft from the SSW. That's a solid increase, and with a long period of 10 seconds, there's serious power. The combined energy is a very strong 1306. This is an expert-only wave at that size, but the wind is light and cross-offshore from the NNE, setting it up to be a heavy, clean beast. It's a long-range call, so keep an eye on it.
The rest of the time is a mixed bag. The afternoons mostly get a messy cross-shore chop, and the final week of the month looks scruffy with smaller swells and onshore winds. The mornings are the play up until the 19th, but after that 22nd, it dries up fast.
Rusty.
