The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty talkin’ about Molhes de Mampituba. The next couple weeks start off pretty quiet, with a lot of small, weak, and messy days, but if you’re patient, there’s a couple of real clean, punchy days waiting in early August. That’s the sweet spot.
Water temp is sitting pretty normal for this time of year, nothing wild.
We start with a long stretch of nothing impressive. From Monday the 27th of July through Thursday the 30th, the waves are tiny—0.6 to 1.0 ft—with short periods and combined swell energy barely cracking 100 to 150. A couple glassy moments on Monday and Thursday mornings, but the swell is just too weak to bother with. Surfable but very average.
Friday the 31st of July finally shows some life. Clean conditions with a light offshore breeze and a 4 ft ENE swell, period around 6 seconds so it’s a bit short. Combined energy hits 200, which is moderate. It’s a fun little session if you’re keen.
Saturday the 1st of August jumps to 7 ft from the ENE with clean offshore winds, and the energy is up to 784 (moderate to strong). That’s a decent size, maybe a bit much for beginners, but intermediates should have a blast. The 8-second period keeps it a little sectiony but clean conditions help. Sunday drops off fast though, back to tiny and messy.
Now for the real standout. Tuesday the 4th of August morning: glassy, clean 5 ft SE swell with a 9-second period, and energy at 881. That’s very good surf. Then Wednesday the 5th of August is even better—clean all day, glassy in the afternoon, consistent 6 ft SE swell and energy around 746-786. That is the best of the whole forecast, no doubt.
Thursday the 6th of August pushes 8 ft from the SSW, which is expert territory only, with strong wind and massive energy over 1777. That’s a lot of power—only for the experienced.
After that it fades fast. Saturday the 8th is down to 3 ft, and by Sunday and Monday it’s tiny again, around 1.0 to 1 ft, with very little energy. The last mention on Tuesday the 11th is a weak 4 ft pulse with a 6-second period and onshore wind, not worth paddling out.
So the window to aim for is definitely Tuesday the 4th and Wednesday the 5th of August. Clean, good size, solid energy, and offshore winds. Friday the 31st of July and Saturday the 1st of August are decent runners-up. The rest of the two weeks is mostly flat or messy, with long gaps in between.
Keep your eyes on that early August window. That’s the one.
Rusty.
