The Lowdown
Alright, gather 'round. Rusty here, and I gotta level with you—Ponta do Mangue is looking like a ghost town for the next two weeks.
We’re starting off with nothing worth wetting a wetsuit for. The first several days through the end of August are all blown out with onshore or cross-onshore breezes and tiny, weak windswell. Combined swell energy is barely hitting 36 to 88—that’s ankle-biter stuff.
Then around the 26th of August, we get a long-period S groundswell rolling in with periods of 16 to 17 seconds and combined energy jumping to 476 and 354. That sounds good on paper, but the wind stays stubbornly out of the E or ESE—cross-on or onshore—and it’s ruining any chance of a clean wave. Ponta do Mangue is an exposed beach setup, and that long-period S swell is going to run straight without a point or reef to wrap around. The guidance is still calling it poor or marginal.
Even the morning of the 27th only scrapes a 1 out of 10, and the wind is still cross-on. Water temp is around 27°, which is about normal for the time of year.
Bottom line: there ain’t a standout anywhere in this whole 16-day window. If you’re desperate, the S groundswell pulse has some energy, but with the wind and the beach setup, this looks more like a kiter’s paradise than a surfer’s.
This kind of dry spell happens sometimes around here, but forecasts can flip. For now, save the gas.
