Piratininga Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Rusty here with the lowdown on our local stretch for the next couple of weeks. It's all about Piratininga, so that's our focus.

Water temp is a pleasant 73°, a touch warmer than average for this time of year, which is a nice bonus.

The first real chance to paddle out is on Thursday the 10th. The morning's looking decent with a clean cross-off breeze from the NNW. We're seeing a 4ft south swell with a nice 12-second period. The combined energy is moderate at 354, so nothing huge, but there'll be some fun ones. It's clean and glassy. A good start for the beginner-plus crowd this place is known for. The afternoon turns ugly with thunderstorms and a cross-on wind, so that early window is your only shot.

Friday the 11th is a dud. Cross-on winds and rough conditions. The swell is a touch bigger, 4ft from the south, with a solid 14-second period giving it a combined energy of 583. But the wind's just wrecking it.

Saturday the 12th is flat and choppy. Tiny swell, messy winds. Skip it.

Sunday the 13th is where we wake up. The morning is still average, but the afternoon brings the goods. A south-southwest swell builds to 6ft, with a 10-second period, giving a combined energy of 550. The wind swings clean cross-off from the southeast, and conditions will be very clean. This is our first standout.

Monday the 14th is another good morning with offshore winds from the NE. The swell is 6ft from the south-southeast, but it's a short 8-second period, so it'll be a little lumpy, but still fun. The heavy rain in the afternoon spoils it.

The absolute standout of this whole forecast is Thursday the 17th. The morning has offshore winds from the east-northeast, perfectly clean. We've got a solid 5ft south swell with a 13-second groundswell period—that's the real deal, giving us a strong combined energy of 748. The afternoon is just as good, with a 5ft south swell at 12 seconds, pushing the energy up to 946. For this spot, this is as good as it gets. It'll be firing.

Friday the 18th is still very solid and clean, though the wind picks up a bit in the afternoon.

We wind down after that. Saturday the 19th has a special moment in the afternoon with glassy conditions, a light southerly breeze, and a clean 3ft south swell with a very long 15-second period. It's not big, but it'll be buttery smooth.

From Monday the 22nd onward, it's mostly flat. Tiny, weak swells and messy winds take over until the 24th and 25th, which are both small and weak or too windy to bother with. There's a tiny 3ft swell on the 25th, but strong winds ruin it.

So, to boil it down: your top picks are Sunday the 13th afternoon and that epic window on Thursday the 17th. If you can only make one session, the 17th is the one. Get after it.

Rusty.
