The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's cut through the noise and get straight to what matters for the local surf scene. We're looking at a pretty bleak outlook for the next 16 days, I gotta be honest with you. If you're itching to get wet, you might want to find another hobby for a while.
Right off the bat, the only spot we've got to talk about is Pier do Emissario. It's a beach/pier setup that's fairly consistent with its swell, but man, the conditions are just not playing ball. The water temp is sitting at 80°, which is about average for this time of year. Not much else to get excited about.
The whole forecast period starts with a real dud on Monday, August 24th. We've got a weak 3ft swell from the SE with a short period of 7 seconds, but the real killer is that 12 mph onshore wind. It's poor, and the combined wave energy is a measly 102. The next few days are more of the same: Tuesday the 25th and Wednesday the 26th have a little more energy pushing through—150 and 551 respectively on Wednesday morning—but that onshore wind just won't let up. Wednesday morning had a sneaky long-period 14-second swell at 3ft, but with the wind blowing straight on, it's a complete write-off.
From Thursday the 27th of August right through to the end of the window on September 8th, it's a relentless onslaught of cross-onshore winds and choppy, bumpy surf. Swell heights bob around from 2ft to 5ft, and a lot of that is from the S or SE with some long periods. On Friday August 28th, the combined energy hits 1053, which is a decent amount of juice, but it's all wasted. That strong easterly wind just tears every wave to shreds. It's the kind of setup that looks far more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. Absolutely no standouts here, folks. This is one of those long blank runs that's just normal for the area when the wind gods are angry.
Stay dry.
