The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's take a look at what's on the menu down at Ponta do Silencio over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough stretch. We're looking at a long, quiet run with barely a ripple for the first week and a half. The water temp is sitting about average for the time of year, nothing crazy there.
The main issue is that this spot is sheltered, and we just don't have the swell direction to get anything going. From Wednesday the 29th of July all the way through to Monday the 10th of August, it's a sorry tale of tiny, weak waves. The combined swell energy is mostly in the teens and twenties, which is barely a pulse. You'll see a few glassy mornings on the 30th and 31st of July, and the 4th of August, but with waves maxing out at 2 ft from the ENE or S, it's just not worth paddling out for. The looks are better than the reality.
We finally get a little spike of energy on Monday the 10th of August, with a messy 4 ft pulse from the SSE, but the period is a short 6 seconds and the combined energy hits 172 (moderate), but it's accompanied by rain and still labelled as poor surf. Not the one.
The real standout, if you can call it that, arrives on Tuesday the 11th of August. Both morning and afternoon see a 2 ft to 2 ft swell from the SE, but the period jumps to 14 seconds – that's a proper groundswell. The combined energy is 193 for the morning (moderate) and the wind goes glassy. It's described as "surfable but very ordinary," which is the best we're going to get. This long-period swell will be looking for a point or reef to wrap into, but this is a sheltered spot, so it might just be a super clean, tiny wave. It's the only day in the whole forecast that even gets a 1 out of 10, so for a quiet session on a longboard, that's your window.
After that, it's back to small, weak, and onshore chop. Wednesday the 12th and Thursday the 13th of August are a write-off.
So, the honest truth: there's one day, Tuesday the 11th of August, that offers a shot at a clean, glassy wave, but it's tiny. The rest of the 16-day window is a flat spell. Don't hold your breath.
Rusty.
