The Lowdown
Alright, let's talk about what's gonna be at Molhes de Mampituba in feet and miles per hour. This river/jetties spot gets exposed to the swell, so when it fires, it fires. We're looking at a run that's got a bit of everything – some total glass-offs, a couple of monster swells, and some real duds. The tide's looking about average for the year.
Friday morning, August 28th, we're starting hot. A 6ft swell from the ENE with moderate energy is being cleaned up by a light offshore breeze. This is a good start – the first session is a real score. The afternoon falls apart as the wind turns.
Saturday, August 29th, is a glass-off paradise. Both sessions are flat calm with 3ft waves from the East. The energy is weak, but if you've got a log, that clean surface is worth the paddle.
Sunday the 30th starts small and rainy, but the afternoon gets a 4ft ENE swell with moderate energy and a clean cross-off wind. A solid end to the weekend.
Alright, circle this one: Tuesday afternoon, September 1st. We're looking at a massive 10ft SSW groundswell with a very strong 3096 combined energy. The wind is cross-off. The report says it's too big for this break, so this is a pure expert's call. If you're not one, stay on the beach. If you are, this could be the one.
Wednesday morning, September 2nd, is the one for the rest of us. A solid 7ft SSE groundswell with moderate energy, and a glassy, cross-off wind. Clean and powerful. This is a standout.
We hit a lull for a few days with dropping waves and choppy conditions from the 3rd to the 8th. Not worth your time.
Next big one is Wednesday morning, September 9th. Glassy conditions with a 5ft East swell. Moderate energy, very clean. A good morning session.
But the standout of the second week is Thursday morning, September 10th. A solid 7ft SSW groundswell with strong energy (1475). The wind is a light cross-off, keeping it clean. The report says it's excellent for experienced surfers. This is your target for the second week. Make the dawn patrol. The afternoon gets blown out.
The rest of the run from the 11th on is small, windy, and messy.
So, the big takeaways: the first week's gems are Tuesday afternoon, September 1st (for experts only) and Wednesday morning, September 2nd. For the second week, lock in Thursday morning, September 10th. The rest is filler.
