The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's take a look at what's in the water for the next couple of weeks.
Well, the next few days are a bit quiet, but we've got a good run of surf building towards the end of the week. The standout is going to be Friday morning, the 28th of August, at Playa de Tranqueru. We're looking at a solid 8ft of swell from the WNW, and with a light SW cross-offshore breeze, it's going to be clean. The wave energy is cranking at 739 (moderate), and it's a fairly exposed spot, so it'll be handling that size well. That's your best bet for the week, no question.
Before that, Thursday the 27th of August is a bit of a write-off for the morning, but the afternoon glass-off with a tiny 3ft swell from the WNW might offer a few fun but ordinary waves. Then Friday afternoon, the wind swings onshore and the swell jumps to 10ft, so it gets messy and too big for most.
The weekend is a mixed bag. Saturday morning the 29th is glassy with a solid 5ft from the NW – that'll be a nice, clean session. The energy is moderate (301). Sunday morning the 30th is also looking good, with 5ft from the NW and glassy conditions, with energy jumping to 515 (moderate). The afternoon winds will chop it up both days, so get out early.
Monday the 31st is a bit of a write-off with onshore winds and 6ft of cross-shore chop. Tuesday morning, the 1st of September, cleans up with a glassy 4ft from the NW, but it's not a standout.
Then we hit a dry spell. From Wednesday the 2nd through to Friday the 4th, the surf is small or messy, with no real recommendations. The swell picks up again on Saturday the 5th of September, with a glassy morning and 6ft from the NNW. The period is a long 11 seconds, so it's a groundswell, and it'll have some punch. The energy is very strong at 771 (moderate). That's a solid option, but it's a week away, so keep an eye on it.
The following week starts with a few more promising windows. Tuesday the 8th of September, the morning is glassy with 6ft from the NW, and the energy is strong at 674 (moderate). That's a genuine candidate for a good session. Wednesday the 9th of September repeats the trick: glassy morning with 6ft from the NW and energy of 680 (moderate). By Thursday the 10th, the wind goes cross-shore and the swell is 6ft, but it's a bit more marginal.
So, to sum it up: Friday morning the 28th of August is the clear winner. Glassy, solid 8ft, and clean. The Saturday morning the 5th of September and Tuesday/Wednesday mornings the 8th and 9th are the next best bets, but they're further out, so don't bank on them just yet.
Rusty.
