The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's chew the fat on what's coming up.
The forecast is a bit of a tough nut for Ponta do Mangue. We're staring down a long stretch of messy, onshore, or cross-onshore winds that are going to keep the surf pretty grubby for the most part. The swell energy is getting up there at times, with some moderate to strong energy readings, but the wind is just ruining the party. There's a window of hope right at the end of the first week showing a bit of potential, but it's a short-lived chance.
The first few days from Monday the 24th up to Wednesday the 26th are a washout. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and the swell is short-period windswell. The energy is low, with readings around 46 to 350, and the wave comment is "poor surf conditions" across the board. Not worth getting wet.
Thursday morning, the 27th, stands out as the only glimmer in the first week. A long-period S swell (18 seconds) is pushing in, giving us a moderate combined energy of 574. The wind is a light cross-onshore, making it marginal. The wave comment says "marginal surf forecast" which is the best we get. The swell is small, around 2 feet, but that long period will give it some punch. This is the pick of the bunch, but it's not going to be epic.
After that, it's back to the grind. From Thursday afternoon until the end of the first week and into the second, the wind picks up and stays moderate cross-onshore or onshore, with the swell energy fluctuating between weak and moderate (165 to 794). The wave comment is consistently "poor surf conditions." The wind is just too strong and from the wrong angles to let the waves form any decent shape.
The second week doesn't offer much relief. The wind remains a problem, and the swell is mostly short-period junk. The beginning of September sees similar conditions with a bit more size but still onshore winds. Ponta do Mangue is not going to give you a clean ride during this period.
Honestly, for a beginner, the conditions are not ideal. The best chance to get wet is that Thursday morning, but even then, you'll be fighting the wind. This is one of those periods where you might want to save your energy and wait for a better forecast.
Stay patient, and keep an eye on the charts.
Rusty.
