The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get stuck into what's on offer for Ponta do Silencio over the next couple of weeks.
Straight up, it's a pretty quiet stretch for our sheltered reef break. The pattern is mostly small, weak surf with a few windows of clean conditions, but nothing that will get the heart racing. There's a long gap of poor to ordinary surf from the start until the very end of the first week.
The standout moment, if you can call it that, is the morning of Wednesday the 26th of August. The water is a comfortable 67° right now, which is bang on average for this time of year. On Wednesday morning, we’ve got a clean 2ft swell from the SE with a long 15-second period, and the wind is light offshore from the WNW. The wave energy is moderate (182), and the conditions are clean. It's surfable, but very ordinary. The afternoon is similar with a cross-offshore breeze, so you could get a session in if you're not fussy.
Thursday the 27th of August morning is also worth a mention. Another clean one with a light offshore from the NW, 2ft SE swell, period of 14 seconds, and moderate energy (112). Again, it's small and ordinary, but clean.
After that, we slip back into a mix of poor conditions and tiny waves. The next half-decent chance doesn't pop up until the morning of Monday the 31st of August. That morning offers glassy conditions with a 2ft E swell, 9-second period, and moderate energy (160). It's still only surfable in the most ordinary sense.
Looking into the second week, there's a spike in size on Tuesday the 1st of September. The morning brings a 8ft S swell with a 10-second period. That's a lot of energy (1057), but it's onshore wind from the SSE, which is a write-off for quality. That's expert territory at best, and the wind is poor. The rest of the second week is a total write-off with tiny, weak swells and only the occasional clean window.
Honestly, for the next 16 days, bring a longboard and low expectations. The best bet is the clean, small windows on the 26th and 27th of August. The rest is mostly for the seals.
