Molhes de Mampituba Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a good hard look at what’s coming up for Molhes de Mampituba. We’ve got a bit of a mixed bag over the next sixteen days, but there are a couple of sessions that are gonna have you grinning ear to ear.

The first real action kicks off on Saturday, July 25th. We’ve got a clean, glassy morning with a 4ft swell rolling in from the ESE. The water is sitting at 65°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you might not need the thickest wetsuit. The wind is a light northerly, making it pretty much glassy. The combined energy is moderate at 304. That period is a short 8 seconds, so it’s a bit of a wind swell, but for the river/jetties setup here, it’ll be fun. That Saturday morning session is the standout for the first week. The afternoon gets a bit messy with a cross-onshore breeze, so get out early.

Sunday the 26th is still a decent option in the morning. We’ve got a slightly smaller 4ft swell from the ESE, but with a light NNE cross-offshore wind, it’ll be clean. The energy drops a bit to 270. After that, Monday the 27th is tiny and glassy in the morning, with only 2ft, and the energy is down to 120. It’s surfable, but nothing to write home about. The rest of the week from the 28th through the 30th is pretty lackluster – small waves, poor winds, and not much to offer. You’re looking at a few days of flat, choppy conditions.

Now, we get a little pulse on Friday, July 31st. The morning brings a 4ft swell from the SSE with a longer period of 11 seconds, and a clean cross-offshore wind. The energy jumps to 338, and it’s gonna feel like a proper groundswell. That’s another solid window.

But the real winner for the whole outlook? That’s Tuesday, August 4th. The morning is looking prime. We’ve got a 6ft swell from the ENE, with a clean cross-offshore wind from the NNE. The combined energy is a strong 668. That’s a lot of grunt. It’s a bit of a short period at 8 seconds, but for this exposed river mouth, it’s gonna be powerful and punchy. This is the one to circle on the calendar. It’s a bit big for beginners, but the intermediate crowd is going to have a blast. The break is fairly consistent, but it can get crowded here often, so expect some company.

The morning of Monday, August 3rd, also has a 7ft swell, but it’s a bit onshore and messy, with a 915 combined energy reading. That’s a lot of power, but the wind is junk. It might be more of a kite surfing day than a paddle surfing day, to be honest.

After that, the first week of August fades into smaller, cleaner but weaker surf. The 8th of August has another glassy morning with a 5ft swell, but the energy is moderate at 296. It’s a good option, but not as good as that Tuesday.

So, bottom line: get on it Saturday morning, July 25th, and absolutely do not miss Tuesday morning, August 4th. That’s the standout.
