The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it for this stretch. We’re looking at Pedra Magra, and to be straight with you, it’s a tough run. The forecast is pretty grim overall, with a lot of poor surf conditions and onshore winds wrecking the shape. The swell is small and inconsistent for most of the window, and when it does show a bit of size, the wind is usually in the wrong spot.
The first week is a write-off. From Monday, 27 July, right through to the end of July, the surf is tiny and mostly messy. The only real glimmer comes on the morning of Wednesday, 29 July, with a clean 3ft S swell at 11 seconds, light offshore wind, and a combined energy of 215 (moderate). The water temp is about average for the time of year at 65°F. It’s small, but rideable. Still, the quality is just “ordinary,” so it’s not a standout.
The same goes for the morning of Thursday, 6 August. Again, a clean 3ft SSE swell with light offshore winds, moderate energy (227), and a clean surface. It’s surfable, but nothing special.
The only real standout worth paddling out for is the afternoon of Sunday, 9 August. We’ve got a solid 7ft S swell, though it’s short period at just 7 seconds. The energy is high (538), and with light cross-shore winds, it’ll be a bit lumpy. At 7ft, this is expert territory – too big for beginners. The short period means it’ll be a bit fat and close together, but there’s grunt there. The water temp is still around average. This is the best on offer, but it’s a long way off, so take it with a grain of salt.
From the 10th onward, the wind turns onshore heavy again, and the quality drops. There’s a big gap of weak, unsurfable days from 1 August right through to the 5th, with barely a ripple. Pedra Magra is a fairly consistent setup, so this blank run is a bit of a letdown, but when the wind is wrong, it’s wrong.
Keep an eye on that 9th of August. Otherwise, it’s a waiting game.
Rusty.
