Alright, let’s break it down for Pedra do Sal. This one’s a real snoozer for the next 16 days. No proper standouts, no days that’ll make you call in sick.
The only half-decent windows are the mornings of Thursday the 9th, Friday the 10th, and Saturday the 11th of July. You’re looking at tiny, knee-high waves, around 3 to 3 feet, coming out of the WNW. The period is short, 9 to 10 seconds, so it’s weak windswell with low energy – the combined energy numbers are in the 107 to 170 range (moderate energy). The big plus is the wind: those mornings are glassy or calm, so the surface will be mirror-smooth. The water temp is 63°, which is about average for the season.
The problem is the swell is tiny, the direction doesn’t match the break’s optimum (NNW), and it’s just not going to offer any push. This spot is for beginners, so a total beginner might get a few soft rides, but anyone else will be bored. Crowds are ‘sometimes’, so not too many people out.
From Sunday the 12th onward, it’s a total bust. The wind turns onshore or cross-shore, and the swell stays small and weak. The energy drops into the 30s and 40s (weak energy) on many days. There’s a little bump around Thursday the 24th, with waves up to 5 feet, but the wind is onshore and messy, making it choppy and ugly. For a beach break, that’s more of a kiteboarding setup than a paddle surf session.
So, in short: a few glassy, tiny mornings at the start, then nothing for the rest of the 16 days. It’s a quiet spell, but that’s how it goes sometimes around here. Hang in there, Rusty.
