The Lowdown
Alright, I’m not gonna sugar-coat it. Ponta do Mangue is looking pretty grim for the next 16 days.
We start off with a rough few days. Sunday, August 30th, through Tuesday, September 1st, is just a mess. The wind is blowing cross-onshore, making the surface choppy and ugly. The swell is small, around 3ft, with a short period, and the energy is weak to moderate. No surf to speak of.
Wednesday, September 2nd, the swell bumps up a bit to about 6ft, and the energy gets a little stronger (677), but the wind is still cross-shore, keeping it marginal. The period is short (9 seconds), so it’s windswell, not groundswell. This spot is for beginners, and that 6ft is getting a bit big for them, especially with the chop.
The rest of the first week and into the second week is the same old story: cross-onshore wind, small, short-period swell, and poor conditions. The only change is around September 6th, where the period gets a little longer (12 seconds), but the swell drops to 2ft. The energy is okay (448), but the wind is still cross-onshore.
There’s a weird spike on the morning of Wednesday, September 9th. A 3ft swell from the south with a very long period of 18 seconds shows up. That’s powerful groundswell, and the energy is strong (781). But it’s coupled with rain and a strong cross-onshore wind, so it’ll be blown out. Also, a long period south swell on a beach break is going to be fast and straight, making it tough.
The last few days, from September 10th to the 14th, are just more of the same: small, short-period swell, cross-onshore wind, and weak energy. The energy drops to 85 on the 14th, which is very weak.
Bottom line: the wind is just never in our favor. The best you could hope for is a very early morning with the lightest breeze, but the waves will be small and weak. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, around 59°F, so it’s not freezing, but it’s not the issue.
This spot gets consistent swell, but with this wind, it’s a total write-off. It’s looking more like a kitesurfing spot than a paddle spot right now. We just have to wait for the forecast to change.
