The Lowdown
G'day, I'm Rusty.
Alright, let's have a look at what's on the cards for Molhes de Mampituba. It's a bit of a mixed bag coming up, but we do have a couple of things to keep an eye on, especially if you're patient.
The water temp is sitting around 65°, which is about average for this time of year, so nothing too wild there.
The window kicks off on Friday, the 31st of July, with a small, clean signal. You're looking at 2ft of south swell with a 12-second period, which is a nice long groundswell. The wind is a light cross-off from the NNE, so the surface should be clean. The combined wave energy is moderate at 144. It's not going to be a world-beater, but it's a fun, surfable wave for a Friday morning paddle. The afternoon goes to crap though, with a bumpy 19 mph cross-breeze and a short, weak 6-second swell, so get your session in early.
Saturday, the 1st of August, has a bit more size on the morning session. We're looking at 6ft from the NE, but the period is a short 7 seconds, so it's a bit of a windswell. The energy is strong at 556, but the wind is a cross-off, keeping it reasonably clean. The afternoon drops to 5ft, same short period, but still cleanish. It's a pretty average day, but the morning could be worth a look if you're desperate.
Sunday and Monday, the 2nd and 3rd, are pretty much a write-off with small, weak swell and onshore or cross winds. You're looking at knee-high dribble.
There's a little glimmer on Thursday, the 6th of August. The morning has 4ft of short-period east swell, but the wind is a light cross-off, making it clean. The energy is moderate at 202. It's small, but it will be clean. The afternoon gets messy again.
Now, the real standout, and I mean the *real* standout, is way out there on the 14th and 15th of August. This is a long-range call, so treat it with a pinch of salt, but the models are showing a massive pulse. On Friday, the 14th, we're looking at a 10ft SSW swell with a 10-second period. The wind is a light cross-off. The energy is absolutely pumping at 2540. But here's the catch – at 10ft, this is too big for this river/jetty break. The same goes for the afternoon and into Saturday the 15th, where it gets even bigger at 12ft with a 16-second period, hitting 5825 energy. This is well over 8ft, making it expert-only territory, and even then, it's likely to be a washing machine with the swell direction. Keep an eye on it, but this one is for the big-wave chargers only, and even then, it might be a paddle-out mission.
Overall, the best bet for a normal surfer is the clean, small morning on the 31st of July. For the brave, keep an eye on that massive swell in the second week, but be prepared for it to be too big.
Rusty.
