Table - best surf conditions forecast for Ponta do Silencio over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Ponta do Silencio over the next couple of weeks. To be honest, it’s a pretty quiet run. We’re looking at a long stretch of small, underwhelming surf, and the swell energy is mostly weak. There’s a few windows where a clean little wave might pop up, but nothing to get properly excited about. The good news is the wind often plays nice, but the swell just isn’t there to make the most of it.
The first real chance to wet a line comes Saturday the 11th. Saturday morning sees a bit of east swell at 2ft with a period of 13 seconds, that’s a nice groundswell feel, and the wind is offshore from the NNW. The energy is moderate (135), so it’ll have some push. The afternoon holds similar conditions, still with offshore wind, so Ponta do Silencio could be worth a look for a few clean, small waves. It’s not going to blow anyone away, but if you’re keen for a paddle, it’s the best we’ve got early on.
After that? Sunday the 12th goes downhill fast. The morning is tiny and crummy, and the afternoon jumps to 5ft but with a strong onshore wind from the SE and energy spiking to (724), but the surf quality is poor. That’s more of a windy mess than anything clean.
By Wednesday the 15th, we get a small bump. Wednesday afternoon has an east-southeast swell at 3ft with a 10-second period and moderate energy (158). The wind is cross-off from the north, so conditions will be clean. It’s surfable, but very ordinary. The same pattern limps on through the following week.
One small standout might be Friday the 17th. The morning offers 2ft from the ENE at 8 seconds, light offshore wind, clean. The afternoon picks up a little to 2ft, same direction, still clean. The energy is modest (131), but the combo of small, clean surf and light winds could be okay for a log or a fish. It’s nothing to clear your schedule for, though.
Overall, the whole 16-day window is a flat spell with only a few barely rideable moments. Consistency is there, but the quality is low. For an area that’s usually consistent, this is a bit of a dud. But forecasts change, and it can’t stay this poor forever.
Stay tuned, keep your eyes on the charts.
Rusty.
