Pedra do Sal Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Hey, Rusty here, looking at Pedra do Sal over the next couple weeks. This spot is a beginner-friendly break that’s consistent and open to swell. Water temp is about average for this time of year.

First few days are weak. Monday July 6th morning has a tiny 1 ft WNW swell, glassy, but wave energy is low (73). Afternoon gets cross-on wind and even smaller. Tuesday and Wednesday (7th–8th) stay under 2 ft, mostly cross-on, poor conditions. Thursday and Friday (9th–10th) have a bit more size – up to 3 ft – but cross-on or onshore wind keeps it choppy. Energy climbs to around 100–138, still weak.

Saturday July 11th morning has a risk of storms but glassy wind and a 2 ft WNW swell – energy 179. Afternoon turns onshore and messy with a 4 ft N swell but short period and poor quality. Sunday 12th morning sees a 6 ft NNW swell, cross-on wind, energy 485 – moderate but marginal. Afternoon drops to 3 ft.

Now the standout: Tuesday July 14th morning. Glassy, light air, a clean 4 ft NNE swell. Period short at 8 seconds, energy 277 – moderate. Clean conditions, and the spot can get crowded sometimes, but this is your best window in the first week.

The rest of that week and into the next is mostly small and poor, with occasional glassy mornings but swell barely 2–2 ft.

Looking further out, Monday July 20th has a 5 ft NNW swell with a moderate 12 mph cross-off wind, clean but energy moderate (227). Then Tuesday July 21st morning brings a solid 7 ft N swell, period 10 seconds, and strong energy (976). Wind is light cross-on from the west at only 3 mph, so almost glassy. That size is too big for beginners – over 5 ft – so only for those with experience. It’s more than a week away, so promising but uncertain.

Bottom line: Tuesday July 14th morning is the pick for clean, manageable waves. The 21st has size but needs skill and a bit of luck.

Keep an eye on the forecasts. Rusty.
