The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Playa de Tranqueru.
We’re looking at a pretty quiet start to this forecast window. The first few days are basically a write-off for any decent surf. There’s a bit of small, weak swell hanging around, but the wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and the wave quality just isn't there. You'll see a few glassy mornings on Monday the 10th, Tuesday the 11th, and Wednesday the 12th, but with swell heights barely scraping 2ft and combined energy in the weak range (81 to 88), it’s only going to be tiny, weak waves for the beginners or the longboarders. After that, we’ve got a long stretch of poor conditions right through until the third week of August. The wind stays messy, and the swell is either too small or too jumbled.
The only real light at the end of the tunnel comes around Friday the 21st of August. The swell picks up significantly, hitting 6ft from the NNW, with a long-period groundswell of 11 seconds. The combined energy jumps right up to 1273 (strong), so there’s some proper power behind it. The wind is cross-shore and light from the W in the morning, which should keep it fairly clean. This is the standout window, but it’s still a week and a half away, so keep an eye on the forecasts. That afternoon the wind goes onshore from the NNW, so the morning session is the one to aim for. The swell is a bit big for beginners at 6ft to 7ft, but for the intermediates, this is the best chance to get a wave with some push. The swell direction from the NNW isn't a perfect match for the break's optimum NW direction, but it's close enough to be worthwhile.
Saturday the 22nd still has some size, but the swell is dropping and the wind gets messy again. The afternoon does turn glassy, but by then the swell is back down to 4ft.
Bottom line: this is a slow two-week period with one promising day in the distance. If you’re itching for a paddle, the tiny glassy mornings early next week are your only option for a knee-high dribble. Otherwise, keep your eyes on Friday the 21st.
Stay salty,
Rusty
