The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Ponta do Mangue over the next 16 days.
Truth is, mate, it’s a pretty grim stretch. The whole 16-day window is basically a write-off for proper surfing. We’ve got a long gap of absolutely nothing worth paddling out for from the start all the way through to mid-August, and even then it’s barely a flicker. There’s no standout session I can honestly send you off with a grin about. The first real sniff of anything happens on Sunday the 16th, and even then it’s just "marginal" – that’s the only day that even gets a whisper of a chance.
Let’s break it down from the top. From Sunday the 9th right through to Saturday the 15th, it’s all "poor surf conditions" with scores of zero. The swell is tiny – mostly under 3 ft – and what little there is comes in short-period, sloppy windswell from the ESE and SE. The wind is cross-on or onshore pretty much the whole time, keeping the surface choppy and messy. The combined energy is weak to moderate at best for these days, but the quality is just not there. On the 13th and 14th we see a bit of a bump with a longer period S swell (13–16 seconds) pushing combined energy up into the 300–400 range (moderate wave energy), but again, cross-on wind and poor conditions ruin it.
Sunday the 16th is the only day that climbs to a score of 1 out of 10. It’s still not good, just "marginal". Swell height is around 4 ft from the S with a solid 16-second period – that’s proper groundswell potential – and combined energy hits 1051 (strong wave energy). That’s the kind of energy that could bend a point break, but here at a beach break with cross-on winds, that long period will likely make it break too straight and dumpy. Still, if you’re desperate and the tide lines up, it’s the only window. The wind is a gentle cross-on breeze, so it’s not totally blown out.
After that, it’s back to poor surf for the rest of the run. Monday the 17th through Monday the 24th is all zeros again. The swell drops off, periods shorten, winds stay onshore or cross-onshore, and the combined energy falls back to weak or moderate levels.
Honestly, for an area with a fairly consistent break, this is a real dead spell. It tends not to stay this poor for long, but right now, the only thing worth noting is that Sunday the 16th *might* give you a couple of so-so waves if you’re really keen and not expecting much. Otherwise, leave the board in the car.
Rusty.

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.
