The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Ponta do Mangue over the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, the entire 16-day window looks pretty bleak. There isn’t a single session that I’d call good. The first real chance of anything ridable doesn’t show up until Friday the 25th of September, and even that is a marginal call. That leaves a big gap of nearly two weeks with nothing but poor surf conditions.
We’ve mostly got cross-onshore winds from the east and southeast, with moderate breeze, making things choppy and messy. The combined swell energy is generally weak to moderate, with values mostly in the 100 to 400 range, but the quality is just not there.
The only flicker of hope comes on the morning of Friday the 25th of September. We get a cross-shore wind from the ENE at 12 mph, which is slightly better than the usual onshore, and the swell bumps up to 4 ft from the east with a long period of 11 seconds. Combined energy hits 538, which is the strongest we see in the whole run. It’s still only a 1 out of 10, and the report says marginal due to tide or surf quality, but it’s the closest thing to a standout. That long period east swell could offer some shape if the wind holds, but with it being a bit of a cross-shore situation, it might still have some chop.
Don’t get your hopes up. This area is going through a very flat and windy spell, and it’s not uncommon to see a blank run like this. Forecasts can change, but for now, I’d keep the board in the car and wait for a better day.
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 Ponta do Mangue 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.
