The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
First up, we’re looking at Pedra do Sal. The water’s sitting at 64°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year – you’ll feel that chill for sure.
The next week and a half is a bit of a mixed bag, but there are some real standout windows if you’re patient. The early part of the period is pretty ordinary, with small, weak swell and poor wind conditions. From Friday 25th through Sunday 26th July, we’ve got small waves, but the wind is onshore, so it’s not worth getting excited about.
Monday 27th July sees a bump in energy, with a 5ft swell from the NNW, but it’s paired with a cross-onshore wind, keeping things messy. The combined energy hits moderate levels (502), but it’s not a day for the logbook.
Now, the real highlight of the first week is Tuesday 28th July. The morning is glassy, with a 4ft NW swell. The wind is dead calm, so the surface will be clean as a whistle. The energy is moderate (283), and the period is a solid 10 seconds, meaning there’s some punch behind those waves. This is your best early bet – get out there before the afternoon wind shifts onshore.
The biggest standout, and the one you really need to circle on your calendar, is Saturday 1st August. The morning session is looking incredible. We’ve got a 8ft swell from the WNW, with a period of 12 seconds, pumping a massive 1769 units of combined energy. That’s strong, powerful surf. The wind is glassy, and the waves will be perfect for experienced surfers only – this is too big for beginners. The size and direction are spot on for Pedra do Sal’s optimal exposure. Get ready for a serious session if you’ve got the skills.
Sunday 2nd August morning is still very good, with a 6ft WNW swell, glassy conditions, and strong energy (635), but it’s a step down from the peak on Saturday.
After that, things slowly taper off. The mornings of 6th and 8th August offer some clean, glassy 5ft and 2ft waves, but the energy drops off significantly. The 8th is really just a small, ordinary day.
Overall, don’t waste your time on the first few days. The Tuesday morning (28th July) is a solid, clean option, but the absolute standout is the morning of Saturday 1st August. That’s the one that’ll have you talking for weeks. Be ready for the power.
Rusty.
