The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about the local surf this week.
Overall, it’s a bit of a mixed bag. We’ve got a solid stretch of days that look promising, but the next few days are a write-off. You’ll be waiting until the morning of Thursday the 11th before you see anything worth getting wet for. But that morning? It’s a beauty, so hang tight.
As for the water, it’s a bit warmer than usual for this time of year, about 68° which is a solid 2° above the long-term average. That’s a nice little bonus for the first session of the day.
Let’s break it down. The first few days are pretty grim. The wind is all over the place, mostly cross-shore or cross-onshore, and the swell is weak and short period. The swell energy is low, with values in the 100-200 range. It’s not worth paddling out for.
The real standout is the morning of Thursday, 11 September. The wind is glassy, from the WSW at just 3 mph. The swell is a clean 5 ft from the east, with a period of 9 seconds. The combined energy is a solid 402 – that’s in the moderate range, but it’s got some push. The waves will be clean, with good shape. This is the best on offer, no question. It’s a bit over 5 ft, so it’s not for beginners, but if you’re comfortable in that size, you’ll be smiling.
The morning of Monday, 14 September also looks interesting. The wind is light cross-off from the SSW at 6 mph, and we’ve got a 3 ft ENE swell, period 9 seconds. The energy is around 202. It’s much smaller, but it’ll be clean and fun for a log or a fish. The crowds at Navegantes can be an issue sometimes, so get there early.
The week after that, the surf is inconsistent. The wind keeps turning onshore, and the swell is mushy. There’s a flash of glassy conditions on the morning of Friday, 18 September, but the swell is tiny at 3 ft with only 130 energy. It’s not really worth a special trip.
So, the takeaway: Thursday the 11th morning is your clear winner. Glassy, nice chest-high swell from the east, good energy. The morning of the 14th is a solid runner-up if you want something smaller and cleaner. The rest of the 16-day window is mostly a write-off with onshore wind and weak waves.
Peace out, and I’ll see you in the water.
