The Lowdown
Right, folks, Rusty here. Let’s chew the fat on what’s cookin’ at Playa de Tranqueru.
Alright, we’re lookin’ at a pretty quiet stretch ahead. The next week and a half is gonna be a real struggle, with little to nothing worth paddlin’ out for. The water’s a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sittin’ at 70°.
The first few days are a write-off. Wednesday the 5th and Thursday the 6th are a mess of small, weak swell and cross–onshore breezes. The energy is pathetic, barely hittin’ 146 in the tank. You’d be better off stayin’ on the beach. Friday the 7th and Saturday the 8th are even smaller, with Saturday morning goin’ totally glassy but with a pathetic 1ft swell from the NE. The swell energy is down to a measly 13. It’s a lake.
Sunday the 9th sees a tiny flicker of life. The morning goes glassy with a 2ft NW swell, period 10 seconds, and the energy climbs to 91. The report says it’s surfable but ordinary. That’s the best we’ve got, but it’s a real low bar. Monday the 10th and Tuesday the 11th have similar glassy mornings with 3ft to 3ft of NW swell, and the energy gets into the 100s, but the quality is still rated as very ordinary. Just small, weak waves.
There’s a big gap in quality until the 15th of August. That Saturday morning is the one that catches my eye. We jump to a 4ft NW swell with a 10-second period, and the energy barrels up to 430. The wind is glassy. This is the standout. It’s the only time in the whole 16 days where the forecast actually says “expect good surf conditions.” It’s a solid intermediate wave, clean and with some push. Everything else before that is a grind.
After that brief flash, it’s straight back to the doldrums. Sunday the 16th through the 20th are all poor, with weak, short-period swell and choppy winds. The only other decent look is Tuesday the 18th morning, with a glassy 3ft NW swell and energy of 165, but it’s still just rated as “surfable but ordinary.”
So, if you’re itchin’ for a wave, set your alarm for the morning of Saturday the 15th. That’s your window. For the rest of it, save your energy. There’s nothin’ else worth shoutin’ about.
Stay salty.
