The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s cooking at Molhes de Mampituba for the next couple of weeks.
We’ve got a bit of a mixed bag on the way. The opening days are pretty ordinary, with small, weak swell and average conditions. The real action starts to build from Thursday the 23rd, when a nice pulse of energy rolls in. The standout window is shaping up for Sunday the 26th, with another solid session possible on Monday the 27th. After that, things drop off again, with a few smaller, cleaner windows but nothing that really gets the heart pumping.
Monday the 20th & Tuesday the 21st are for the patient. Swell is small, around 3ft to 4ft from the ENE, with a short period of 8 to 9 seconds. The combined energy is weak to moderate (160-203). Winds are light and cross-off or glassy on Tuesday morning, which is a positive, offering clean conditions. But the waves themselves are just ordinary—surfable, but nothing to write home about.
Thursday the 23rd is where things get interesting. The swell jumps up to 7ft from the SSE with an 8-second period, pumping the combined energy right up to 1208. That’s a strong, powerful push. The wind is light cross-shore in the morning, which will keep it reasonably clean, but at 7ft, this is getting into the territory for more experienced surfers only. The afternoon fades a bit.
Friday the 24th is a solid option. The swell drops to a more manageable 5ft from the SE, and the wind is light and cross-off in the morning. The combined energy is still moderate at 412. It’s clean, and the conditions are flagged as good. This is a good size for a strong intermediate.
Sunday the 26th is the standout. The morning session sees a 6ft swell from the ESE with a 9-second period, and the combined energy is a healthy 634. The wind is a light, cross-off breeze, making for clean, lined-up waves. This is the best looking window of the whole forecast. The swell direction is a bit off the optimum, but the quality of the wind and the energy make it a real winner.
Monday the 27th morning is another good one. Swell is 5ft from the ESE, combined energy at 441, and light, cross-off winds again. Clean and fun.
After that, we get a few more clean mornings, like Tuesday the 28th and Wednesday the 29th, but the swell drops off and the period gets shorter. By Thursday the 30th, the swell is down to 2ft, and it’s pretty sad. The last real chance for a decent paddle is on Friday the 31st morning, with a 5ft SSE swell and clean conditions, but the week after that fades into small, weak surf.
Stay keen, and don't sleep on that Sunday session.
