The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Ponta do Silencio.
Honestly, the next week and a half is a bit of a flat spell. We’ve got a long stretch of really small, weak surf that’s just not doing much. The first real glimmer of anything worthwhile doesn’t show up until Friday the 24th of July, and even then it’s a one-hit wonder. Before that, we’re looking at a solid week of nothing to write home about.
The water at Ponta do Silencio is sitting at 62°, which is a solid 4° colder than normal for this time of year. That’s a notable chill, so don’t forget a decent spring suit.
The standout for the whole outlook is the morning of Friday the 24th of July. We’ve got a bump in swell coming from the SSE at 6ft, with a period of 10 seconds. That’s not huge, but it’s the biggest pulse we see, and the combined energy hits 596 (moderate) – the highest of the whole run. The wind is a light WNW breeze, blowing cross-offshore, which should keep the reef clean. It’s a sheltered spot, so that SSE direction is a good match for the optimum from the SE. This is a proper groundswell for that break, and it’s the only time the conditions line up to be “good.” Expect it to be a fun, surfable morning. After that, the afternoon drops off again, and the rest of the outlook goes back to small, weak, and ordinary.
The spot is a consistent reef break, so it doesn’t need much to work, but it rarely sees anything over waist-high through this whole period. The crowds are marked as “often,” so on that Friday morning, you might have a few others with the same idea, but it’s a small window of quality.
Overall, it’s a pretty quiet outlook. The Friday the 24th morning is the only real shot, and it’s a promising one, but don’t expect a session after that.
Rusty.
