The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down. Honestly, Ponta do Mangue is looking pretty grim across the whole 16-day stretch. There’s no real window where it comes together for a good session.
The first few days are useless. Thursday the 30th and Friday the 31st of July are tiny, waist-high at best, with messy cross-onshore winds and hardly any energy in the water (combined energy is a low 43 to 59). The water temp is around 80°, which is about average for the time of year.
Moving into August, Saturday the 1st and Sunday the 2nd see a little bump to about 4ft to 5ft out of the SE, but the wind is onshore or cross-onshore at 12 to 13 mph, leaving the surface all chopped up. The combined energy climbs into the low 100s, but with a short 7-second period, there’s no shape or power.
Monday the 3rd is the closest we get to something decent. The morning has a 6ft SE swell (7-second period) and the combined energy jumps to 585 (moderate wave energy). The wind is cross-onshore from the E at 6 mph, so it’s still not clean. It’s got some push but it’s messy—more of a kite day than a paddle session.
After that, it just drops off. The first week and a half is a long, flat stretch with poor surf warnings all the way. Swell hangs around 2ft to 4ft out of the ESE, with short periods (7-8 seconds) and onshore or cross-onshore winds. Not worth the drive.
Around Tuesday the 10th of August, there’s a brief tease with a long-period 11-second pulse from the SSE, but it’s only 1ft and the combined energy is a tiny 78—way too small to ride. The wind stays cross-onshore, so the surface stays messy.
The middle of the second week picks up again, but it’s still flawed. Wednesday the 12th of August has a 5ft SSE swell (7-second period) and 310 combined energy, but it’s accompanied by strong onshore winds at 13 mph and rain showers. Same story through the rest of the week—4ft to 5ft swells from the SE and ESE, moderate onshore winds, and just poor conditions.
Nothing here is a true standout. If you had to pick one, Monday the 3rd of August has the most size and energy, but the wind kills it. The rest is a long, blank run, which is pretty normal for this area.

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.
