The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's get into this.
Well, folks, I gotta say, the next couple of weeks at Ponta do Mangue are looking pretty flat and uninspiring. Right from the get-go, it’s a quiet start. The water temp is sitting at a pretty standard 79°, which is about what you'd expect for this time of year.
We're looking at a long gap here with nothing really to recommend. From the 18th of July all the way through the morning of the 31st, it's just a whole lot of poor surf conditions. You'll see some swell around on the 18th and 19th, with waves hitting about 6 ft and 6 ft from the SE, but it’s all chopped up by a persistent onshore or cross-onshore wind blowing at 12 mph. The combined energy is moderate at best - gets up to 471 but the quality is just not there. The period is short, around 8 to 9 seconds, and the wind keeps it messy.
The week after that is even smaller, with waves dropping below 3 ft and the energy falling right off. It's a proper blank run.
Now, come the 31st of July, there is a little flicker of hope. On the Friday morning we see a marginal improvement. Swell picks up a bit to about 4 ft from the ESE, with a combined energy of 232. The wind is a light cross-shore breeze, only 6 mph, which should clean things up a little. The period is still short at 7 seconds, and the overall forecast is only marginal, so I wouldn't get too excited. It’s the best we’ve got in this stretch, but it’s a far cry from good.
The first few days of August look similar, with similar sized, poor quality swell and onshore winds. Honestly, for the whole window, there are no standouts. If you're desperate for a paddle, you could take a look at it on the 31st morning, but the conditions are so iffy that it's more of a gamble than a plan.
Rusty.
