The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s ahead for our local stretch.
Overall, it’s a pretty quiet start here. We’ve got a solid run of small, messy surf for the first few days, and frankly, nothing worth paddling out for. The real interest, if you can call it that, doesn’t even start to show until the 20th of July, and even then, it’s not exactly going to set the world on fire. We’ll have a few chances for a surf, but you’ll need to pick your moments carefully.
The first real window of opportunity comes on Monday morning, 20th July. Playa de Tranqueru will see a small bump in swell, with waves around 4 ft from the NNE. The wind is glassy, which is a big plus, so the surface should be clean. The combined energy is moderate (211), so there’s a bit of push, but with a period of just 7 seconds, it’s a short-period windswell, so the waves will be a bit crumbly and not hold up great. It’s surfable, but only just, and it’s best for intermediates.
The conditions get a bit more interesting further out, but it comes with a lot of caveats. There’s a solid pulse of swell showing up around the 28th of July. By Tuesday morning, 28th July, we’re looking at a 4 ft, 10-second swell from the NNW, with a combined energy of 392 (moderate). The wind is light cross-onshore, so it’s far from perfect. The period later that day jumps to 13 seconds, a proper groundswell, with energy hitting 431, but the wind is still cross-onshore. This is a very long-range swell, so it’s promising but not locked in yet.
The standout window, if you’re willing to gamble on the long-range, is Wednesday morning, 29th July. The swell builds to 5 ft from the NW, with a period of 11 seconds and a healthy combined energy of 522 (strong). The wind is light cross-onshore, which is manageable. For a break like Playa de Tranqueru, that longer-period NW swell will have more shape and power, and the best of it will be early. This is the best on offer in the entire 16-day run, but keep in mind it’s a week and a half out, so the forecast could shift.
After that, things taper off again. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual to report there.
Signing off, Rusty.
