The Lowdown
Howdy, Rusty here. Let’s talk surf for Molhes de Mampituba in feet and knots. We’ve got a mixed bag, but there’s some solid windows if you’re patient.
Monday 31 August morning – small and clean with a light cross-off breeze from the NE at 6 knots. Swell is about 4ft from the east at 8 seconds, moderate energy (186). Not bad for a quick paddle. That afternoon goes cross-on and gets marginal.
Tuesday and Wednesday mornings (1–2 September) stay poor with onshore winds, but Wednesday 2 September morning breaks the pattern – clear skies, light cross-off from the WSW at 3 knots, swell around 5ft from the ESE at 9 seconds. Clean and surfable.
Thursday 3 September morning is another clean one – 4ft from the ESE at 10 seconds, glassy with a light north breeze at 3 knots.
Friday through Sunday (4–6 September) are all onshore and choppy – skip ’em.
Monday 7 September morning is the absolute best. Glassy conditions with a westerly breeze, 4ft swell from the SSE with a long 13-second period, strong energy (571). That’s groundswell, so the waves will have real shape and power. This is your gold window.
Tuesday 8 September – swell up to 6ft from the SE, period drops to 8 seconds. Morning clean with a cross-off from the NNE at 6 knots.
Wednesday 9 September morning – heavy. 8ft from the ENE at 8 seconds, very strong energy (1576). Clean offshore from the north at 9 knots, but this is expert only – too big for beginners.
The swell stays around 7-7ft on Thursday 10 September from the east at 10 seconds, still clean but with fresh winds by afternoon. Friday (11 Sep) goes onshore again.
Saturday 12 September morning – glassy, 4ft from the east at 10 seconds. Clean and easy.
Tuesday 15 September morning – glassy again, 6ft from the ENE at 7 seconds, moderate to strong energy (570). Short period but clean.
Standout is Monday 7 September morning – glassy, long period groundswell. For the big wave crew, Wednesday 9 September morning is the one – just know your limits.
Water temp is 62°F, about a degree cooler than average – nothing wild.

Information about the Molhes de Mampituba Surf forecast
