The Lowdown
Alright, let’s switch to feet and miles per hour for you imperial crew.
Right off the bat, we’re in a bit of a flat spell mixed with messy conditions. No real standouts for quite a while. For the next several days, it’s mostly a cross-onshore wind, making the surface bumpy and choppy. The swell is small with weak energy.
Tuesday morning the 11th, there’s a brief moment of glassy calm at Pedra do Sal with a small 2ft NW swell, energy is weak (121). Surfable but ordinary. That window is gone by afternoon when the wind turns onshore.
From Wednesday the 12th all the way to Saturday the 22nd, it’s a grind. Swell sizes bob between 2ft and 7ft but the wind never cleans up – cross-onshore, light to moderate, giving a nasty surface. Wave comments say “poor surf conditions” almost every session. The 15th has a bump to 7ft from the NNE, but the period is short (6 seconds) and it’s windy – washing machine territory.
A flicker of something decent on the morning of Sunday the 23rd: 6ft from the WNW, energy hitting 442. Still cross-onshore, but the power is there. Monday morning the 24th sees the biggest push: 6ft from the NNW, period 10 seconds, energy at 650 – that’s strong. Still cross-onshore.
The absolute best window is the morning of Wednesday the 26th. Swell is 5ft from the NNW, period 10 seconds, and the wind turns *offshore* (light from the NNW). That’s clean, glassy faces. Energy at 500 – solid. This is the one to aim for. Pedra do Sal works, but expect some company – “sometimes” busy.
Water temp on the 11th is 66°, normal for the season.
Most of the 16 days is a write-off. The only true standout is that Wednesday the 26th morning. It’s more than a week out so keep an eye on it. There’s about an 11-day stretch of mostly poor conditions before that.
Rusty out.
