The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin' at Molhes de Mampituba over the next couple of weeks. The crystal ball's a bit hazy right now, but I'll walk you through it.
Right off the bat, the water's a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 65 °F, which is nice.
Alright, the first few days are a bit of a grind. The surf is small and the conditions are fighting it. For Sunday, July 26th, morning glass-off is your best bet with a tiny 4 ft swell from the ESE. It’s been a calm week leading into this, so don't expect much. Monday and Tuesday serve up knee-high dribble. There’s a long gap here of barely surfable waves, with nothing really worth paddling out for until the weekend.
But then things start to get interesting. Saturday, August 1st brings a jump in size. You’ve got a clean 6 ft swell from the ENE for the morning session, with the combined energy kicking up to 599 – that's getting some juice behind it. That's a solid option if you're intermediate and above, but you might have some company as crowds are likely here.
Now, keep your eyes peeled for the real standout. It's a bit of a wait, but Tuesday, August 5th rolls in with a thumping 10 ft SW groundswell (2557 energy!). This is a serious event for the experts only. The wind is forecast to be clean and cross-off in the morning, but the swell is predicted to be too big for this break, so you'd need to be really on your game. The morning of Wednesday, August 6th sees a similar 8 ft SSE groundswell with light cross-shore winds, but again, a lot of power and period.
For the average punter, the pick of the weekend might actually be that Saturday, August 1st morning. It’s the most accessible of the bigger swells with clean, rideable conditions.
After that big pulse, it drops back down. Thursday, August 7th and Friday, August 8th see a smaller, cleaner 4 ft to 5 ft SE swell, but the wind gets a bit messy. Sunday, August 9th ends the run with a glassy morning on a small 2 ft swell.
So, bottom line: there's a lean start, a solid window around August 1st, and then a big, expert-only pulse around the 5th-6th. Stick with the morning sessions for the cleanest conditions.
Catch you on the beach.
Rusty.
