The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty, and here’s the lowdown for the next couple of weeks. Things start quiet, but there’s a proper day to circle on your calendar.
The first surfable action rolls in on Monday, September 14th at Pedra do Sal. The morning is glassy and clean with a 3ft swell from the NW at 11 seconds—moderate energy (264). The wind is dead calm from the SSE at 3 mph, so it’s perfect for beginners. The afternoon goes onshore, so don’t bother.
Tuesday and Wednesday are total washouts—cross-onshore winds and messy waves. By Wednesday, the swell bumps up to 6ft to 6ft, but it’s choppy and useless.
Thursday and Friday stay rough. Friday afternoon, though, sees a massive 12ft NW groundswell at 14 seconds, but the cross-onshore wind is ruining it. That’s big energy (4423) and strictly for experts, and even then, it’s a fight.
Saturday and Sunday are marginal. Saturday morning has 8ft from the NNW at 13 seconds with a light cross-shore wind—maybe a few, but nothing to rave about. Sunday drops to 5ft NW at 11 seconds, light cross-shore.
Now, the real standout: Monday, September 21st. Pedra do Sal has a clean, glassy morning with a 8ft NW groundswell at 14 seconds—that’s proper energy (2095). The wind is light cross-offshore from the E at just 3 mph, so the waves will be clean and lined up. This is for experienced surfers—8ft is solid, and the 14-second period means good shape but long waits between sets. The morning session is the pick of the entire forecast.
After that, the week is mostly cross-onshore and choppy, with shorter-period NE windswell. Not worth it.
Then on Friday, September 25th, another clean morning pops up. A 7ft NE swell at 8 seconds with glassy conditions from the ESE at 3 mph—moderate energy (601). Not a standout, but a decent session.
Saturday and Sunday, September 26th and 27th, bring small, glassy waves—3ft to 4ft—with long periods from the WNW. Great for a log or a fun board, but nothing big. Water temp is about average for this time of year.
Bottom line: the first week is a bit of a bust, but Monday, September 21st morning is the clear winner—clean, solid groundswell, and offshore winds. If you can wait, that’s your session. Otherwise, Friday, September 25th morning offers a smaller, clean alternative.
