The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ll level with you—this stretch for Ponta do Silencio is a tough one. The next 16 days are mostly a write-off for good surf, with only one real window that’s worth getting excited about. The water’s sitting at 68°F with a anomaly of 2°F warmer than usual, so it’s a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
There’s a long gap of nothing until the very end of the first week. Then, on Saturday the 22nd of August, the morning is your standout. That’s where it’s at. You’ll see a 7ft swell from the south, with a period of 10 seconds, and glassy conditions—light SSE wind at 3 mph. The combined energy is moderate at 822, so there’s some push. This is a reef break, and with that size and direction, it’s going to be fun for intermediate surfers. The wind is dead calm, making for clean, lined-up waves. Keep in mind that spots can get crowded often, so get in early.
The rest of the period is a dud. From the 21st through to the 5th of September, you’re looking at tiny, weak swells, cross-onshore winds, and poor surf conditions. The only other session that might give you a little something is the afternoon of Wednesday, the 26th of August, with a 3ft swell from the SSE and glassy winds, but it’s still ordinary. After that, it’s a long stretch of light rain and tiny waves, with nothing to write home about.
So, in short: Saturday morning, 22nd of August, is your best bet. Don’t expect much else. That’s the call from Ponta do Silencio.
Rusty.
