Alright, Rusty here.
To be honest, looking out over the next couple of weeks, it’s a bit of a struggle. We’ve got a lot of days where the wind and the swell just aren’t playing ball. The first decent window we see isn’t until Saturday the 11th of July, so we’re staring down a gap of nearly a week with nothing worth paddling out for.
Saturday, 11th July is the one to circle. We’re looking at Pier do Emissario early doors. The morning is looking glassy with the wind dropping to zero, which is a beautiful thing. The swell is a clean 3 ft coming from the SSE, and even though the period is a reasonable 13 seconds, the combined energy is moderate at 324. It’s a fairly consistent spot and with the offshore wind being from the NW, the conditions should be proper clean. Keep in mind, this break can get a crowd sometimes, so getting there early is your best bet. The water temp is sitting at 80°, which is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
That Saturday morning is the standout, but it’s a short-lived window. By the afternoon the wind swings onshore and it gets messy again. The following week is pretty ordinary with cross-onshore winds and choppy conditions making it a tough prospect for a decent paddle. There’s a little bump in size towards the end of the second week, around Sunday the 19th, with a 5 ft SSE swell, but it’s got a short period of only 8 seconds and the wind is onshore, so it’s going to be a messy, choppy affair – one for the kites, not the surfboards.
So, if you’re keen, aim for that Saturday morning. It’s not a classic, but it’s the best we’ve got.
Rusty.
