The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you about Playa de Tranqueru. The next couple of weeks are looking pretty grim, to be honest. We've got a long stretch of barely rideable conditions, so don't get your hopes up too early. The water's sitting at a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, about 71°.
For the first week, from Friday the 7th right through to the 20th of August, it's a real struggle. The swell energy is weak, mostly in the 30s to low 100s, and the waves are tiny and messy. You'll get some glassy moments, like on Saturday morning the 8th and Sunday morning the 9th, but with only 1ft to 3ft of swell from the NNW or NW, it's just not doing anything. The wind often swings cross-onshore, chopping it up further. Even the 'surfable' days are just ordinary. There's a lot of poor surf in there.
Now, things start to look a little more interesting around the 22nd of August. That Saturday morning is your best bet in the whole outlook. We've got a clean, glassy start with a 4ft swell from the NNW, period around 9 seconds. The combined energy is moderate at 401, which is a step up. Conditions are expected to be good. The afternoon gets a bit onshore, so hit the early session.
For the more experienced crew, the Friday morning the 21st of August has a bit more size – 6ft from the NNW – but the period is short at 8 seconds and the swell energy is moderate at 514. The wind is light cross-shore, which keeps it from being a total write-off, but it's a marginal call. That's about as big as it gets, and it's still not a classic.
Honestly, the standout here is the morning of Saturday the 22nd of August. It's the only window where everything aligns for a decent session. The rest of the time, you're better off waiting for the next forecast.
Rusty.
