The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here from the beach. Let's break down the surf for the next couple of weeks.
The first session is the one to circle on the calendar. On Monday, August 31st, the morning is firing at Playa de Tranqueru. We’re talking a solid 7ft of northwest groundswell with a nice 10-second period. The combined energy is pumpin' at 850 (moderate wave energy). What really sells it is the glassy, offshore wind from the WSW at just 3 mph. It’s gonna be smooth as silk. Water temp is 68°, right about where it should be for this time of year. This is the session to drop everything for.
The next morning, Tuesday, September 1st, is still a solid option. You get 5ft of northwest swell with glassy conditions and energy at 400. It’s good, but it ain't the same gem.
After that, from Tuesday afternoon until the weekend, the surf goes to sleep. Days of small, choppy, messy waves with onshore winds. We're talkin' a solid four-day stretch of nothing worth paddling out for.
We get a size bump on Saturday, September 5th. The morning shows a 5ft northwest groundswell with a long 13-second period. The combined energy jumps back up to 810 (moderate wave energy). The problem is a crummy cross-shore wind from the east. It's gonna be lumpy and bumpy. The afternoon gets even bigger, hitting 6ft with a massive energy reading of 1274 (strong wave energy), but it's getting smashed by a 12 mph cross-onshore wind. That one’s a mess – might be better for the kiteboarders than the paddle-in crew.
The second week doesn't offer much to write home about. There are a few glassy windows, like Wednesday morning, September 9th, with a 4ft northwest swell and calm wind, but it's just average. The pulse around Tuesday, September 15th, sees a 4ft NNE swell with glassy conditions in the morning, but the period is short and the energy is a weak 225 (weak wave energy). It gets a little bigger in the afternoon to 4ft, but the wind turns cross-onshore again.
Look, the only real standout is that Monday the 31st of August morning. If you can't make that, the Tuesday morning following is your next best bet. The rest of the outlook is too uncertain to get hyped about. Keep the board waxed and hope for the wind to ease up.
Rusty.

Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Playa de Tranqueru may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
