The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. We’ve got a single spot on the radar for this outlook: Molhes de Mampituba. It’s a river/jetty setup that’s fairly consistent, and it needs a solid SE swell to really get going. The water is clocking in at 66°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
The next 16 days kick off with a short window of clean surf, but we’ve got a long, dry spell looming. Friday morning the 24th kicks it off with a clean 5ft swell from the SE, with a light cross-offshore breeze from the N. The energy is moderate (365), and it’s the best of the early run. Saturday morning the 25th is similar, with a clean 4ft from the ESE and a light cross-offshore NNE breeze. Sunday the 26th is the real gem of this first batch: the morning is clean with a 4ft E swell, and by the afternoon it goes glassy with a light N wind – that’s as good as it gets for a river mouth. The energy is moderate (396 dropping to 310).
Then it gets quiet. From Monday the 27th through to Thursday the 31st, the swell drops right off. We’re looking at tiny, weak 1ft to 4ft surf with a mix of cross and onshore winds. There’s a brief flicker of hope on Friday morning the 31st with a clean 3ft from the S (energy 288), but it’s not enough to get excited about. That’s about five days of pretty ordinary conditions.
The first week of August brings a couple of standouts, but they come with a big caveat. On Saturday the 1st, the afternoon session looks clean with a 5ft E swell and a cross-offshore breeze – that’s a good one. Then on Thursday the 6th, the swell is massive at 10ft from the ENE, with a very high energy reading (2623). The winds are light and favorable, but to be honest, that’s too big for this break. That’s an expert-only, big-wave day, and even then it’s a handful. It’s a true standout for power, but not for the average surfer.
The very best of the whole run, however, is Saturday morning the 8th of August. It’s glassy, with a 4ft swell from the S, a period of 11 seconds, and a strong energy (966). The conditions are as clean as they come, and the swell has enough punch to make the jetties work. That’s the one to circle on the calendar. Crowds are often around here, so expect company, but it’s worth it.
