The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s look at what we’ve got for Ponta do Silencio over the next couple of weeks. Gotta be honest with you, it’s a pretty bleak picture. This is a sheltered reef break, and the swell just isn't cooperating. We’re looking at tiny surf for the vast majority of the period.
Things start off with barely a ripple. Wednesday, the 12th, and Thursday, the 13th, are a write-off. The water temperature is sitting at 66°, which is about average for the time of year, but there’s no energy to enjoy it in. The swell energy is weak, sitting in the 50s (54–59). We’re looking at a 1ft SE groundswell, but the conditions are just poor.
We go through a long stretch of days with nothing really happening. Friday the 14th through to Tuesday the 19th is all small, weak swell, with poor conditions and low scores. There’s a brief moment on Saturday the 16th morning where the energy bumps up a little to 137 (moderate), with a 2ft easterly swell, but the period is short at 8 seconds. It’s surfable, but very ordinary. That little pulse fades just as quickly.
The second week doesn’t offer much hope either. Another pretty empty run from Wednesday the 20th through to Wednesday the 27th, with most days seeing weak energy (under 100) and cross-onshore winds or glassy conditions with no swell to push them. There is a little spike on Monday the 24th afternoon, with a 2ft SE groundswell coming in with a very long 16-second period and offshore wind, but it’s still just barely surfable. The energy is 134 (moderate), but for a sheltered spot like this, it’s not enough.
The one window that looks *slightly* different is Thursday the 27th morning. We get a 4ft S swell, short period at 7 seconds, with clean conditions and light offshore wind. The energy is moderate at 135. The swell direction (S) isn't ideal for an optimum SE, but it's the biggest pulse of the whole forecast. It’s not a standout by any stretch—just the least bad option. For beginners, 4ft is fine, but the short period will make it a bit lumpy.
All in all, there are no true standouts here. It’s a very long, flat run. For a break that’s often consistent, this is a tough stretch, but forecasts can change.
Rusty.
