Table - best surf conditions forecast for Molhes de Mampituba over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's talk it through.
We've got a solid run of surf coming up at Molhes de Mampituba. The water is running at 58°, which is a good 5° colder than normal for this time of year—you'll want your thickest wetsuit. The pattern for the next week or so sees a lot of clean mornings giving way to choppy afternoons.
Sunday the 12th is a washout—weak knee-high swell and a stiff crosswind.
Monday the 13th morning is where it starts. A fresh 5ft S swell rolls in with a light cross-offshore wind cleaning it up. The energy is solid, and while the short 8-second period makes the waves a bit doughy, it's the best session early on.
Tuesday the 14th morning is clean again: a 5ft SE swell with a light offshore breeze.
Wednesday the 15th and Thursday the 16th are similar: clean mornings with 5ft to 5ft swells from the ESE and ENE. The Thursday morning swell is a 7-second dud though.
Now, Friday the 17th morning is a real standout. A 6ft ENE swell, 9-second period, and a light offshore wind holding it glassy. The wave energy is pumping at 818. This is your best bet for the first week.
Saturday the 18th morning holds a similar 6ft ENE swell, but that short 8-second period takes the edge off.
A lull hits from Sunday the 19th through Wednesday the 22nd. Mornings stay clean, but the swell drops to 4ft to 3ft. The clear standout in this stretch is Monday the 20th morning: a clean 4ft ENE swell with glassy conditions—ideal for a longboard.
For the experienced crew, the end of the period is where the magic happens. Saturday the 25th kicks off a bigger pulse, but it's messy. Then we hit Monday the 27th of July. This is the big one. A massive 8ft SSE groundswell with a very long 16-second period, and wave energy hitting a whopping 3345. The wind is light and offshore both morning and afternoon, keeping it completely clean. This is big, powerful, and serious—experts only. The river jetty setup is ideal for that long-period groundswell. That Monday is your absolute target.
Given those big swells and the clean wind on the biggest day, this spot could also be a real playground for the kite surfers on the windier, bumpier afternoons.
Rusty out.
