Alright, let’s talk it out.
Pedra do Sal is looking pretty quiet overall for this whole stretch. The first week is mostly a write-off, with small, messy, or just flat conditions.
The best of it comes on Sunday the 5th in the morning. Winds go dead calm, and you get some clean 4ft waves from the NE, period around 7 seconds. Combined energy is moderate (199). It’s not world-class, but for a beginner-friendly wave, it’s fine. Expect it to be inconsistent, and sometimes there’s a crowd.
Then we hit a big lull. From Tuesday the 7th through to Friday the 10th, it’s tiny or onshore. Skip it.
There’s a pulse Saturday the 11th morning – 5ft from the N, 7-second period, energy up at 391 – but it’s cross-onshore and lumpy. Not clean.
The standout is Tuesday the 14th in the morning. Glassy flat calm, with a solid 4ft groundswell from the WNW, 11-second period, and energy of 359. That’s the one to aim for. The swell direction suits the break, and the long period will mean clean lines. It’s not huge, but it’ll be the best session on offer. Mind the crowds – it can get busy.
The rest of the window is small and ordinary. Wednesday the 15th morning is glassy with 4ft waves, but energy drops to 193.
Water temp is nothing unusual for this time of year.
Tuesday the 14th morning. Mark it.
Rusty.
