The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. Looking at the next stretch, Ponta do Silencio is going to be your only real option, and honestly, it’s a bit of a quiet spell. There’s nothing on the cards for a solid week, with just small, weak pulses showing up that really aren’t worth paddling out for. We’re looking at a gap with very little to offer until the second week rolls around.
The first bit of action that even gets close to being interesting is Thursday the 18th. The morning is still junk, but by the afternoon, we finally get a push of south-southeast swell. It’s not big, around 3ft, but that period jumps up to 11 seconds, giving it a little bit of push. The wind is offshore from the north, so it’ll be clean, but it’s still just “ordinary.” The energy is moderate at 263, but it’s not going to blow you away.
Then, the standout of the whole run looks to be the morning of Saturday the 19th. This is the one to circle. It’s not huge, about 4ft, but it’s coming from the south-southeast with a 10-second period, and the wind is glassy. The water is going to be like a pond. The energy is the strongest we see all window at 288. It’s still a modest wave, and it’s a consistent spot, but that glassy, clean condition over a southeast groundswell at a sheltered reef is as good as it gets here. It’s just a real cruisy, fun-sized day on the cards. The swell direction is right, the power is there, and the lack of wind is the big tick.
After that, the 21st has a small, lumpy 3ft southeast swell with no wind in the morning, but the period drops right off, so it’ll be a bit weak and won’t hold together as well.
Honestly, for anyone who needs a bigger, more powerful wave, this isn’t your week. This is about milking small, clean conditions on a reef. The 19th is the pick. Everything else is a skunk. For the beginners, the 19th is fine, but don't go out on anything bigger. Also, seeing as this is a consistent reef, it’s not going to be flat for too long.
