The Lowdown
Well folks, it’s Rusty here. Let me tell you straight: the next couple of weeks are pretty gutless for Playa de Rio Sieira / As Furnas. We’re looking at a real dry spell to kick things off, with barely a ripple on the cards for the first eight days. It’s a tough stretch, so don’t get your hopes up for any hero waves just yet.
The water is sitting at a balmy 70°, which is a solid 4° warmer than normal for this time of year—that’s a notable jump, and you’ll feel it in a summer wetsuit or even a springy.
The first chance of anything resembling a surf comes on Saturday morning, August 1st. The swell will be a tiny 2ft from the W, with an 8-second period. The glassy conditions will make it look pretty, but it’s really just a knee-high dribbler. Energy is weak at 93. It’s more of a float than a surf.
We’ll see a slight bump through the early week, with a similar story: small W swells in the 3ft range and clean conditions with light cross-off winds on the Monday and Tuesday. The energy ticks up to a moderate 106 and then 143, but honestly, the waves are still pretty ordinary.
By Sunday, August 9th, the forecast gets a little more interesting. We finally see a pulse of energy, with the combined energy jumping to 398 and the swell pushing up to 5ft from the WNW with an 8-second period. The morning looks clean with light cross-off winds. This is the standout of the whole window, but it's over a week away, so treat it as promising but not locked in. At 5ft, it’s heading into that zone that’s too much for beginners, but should be fun for the rest of us. Just be aware, the period is short, so it’ll be a bit crumbly and less organized. The afternoon sees it drop back to 3ft.
After that little pulse, it fades fast. The long-range forecast into mid-August is bleak, with nothing but tiny, windy slop from the NW. By the 14th and 15th, we’re down to 0.7ft and 1ft, with strong onshore and cross-shore winds, making it a complete write-off. This setup looks far more interesting for the kite surfers than for us paddle surfers. There’s a long gap of flatness from the 10th to the end of the window with no good options.
So, keep your board in the car for the 9th. It won't be perfect, but it's the only real chance we get. Hang in there.
