The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you — it’s a grim stretch ahead for Ponta do Silencio. This reef break has a sheltered exposure and needs swell from the southeast to really work, but over the next couple of weeks we’re looking at a whole lot of nothing. The whole 16-day window is basically one long gap with nothing worth paddling out for. There are a few mornings with offshore winds and glassy conditions, but the swell is just too tiny and weak to bother with.
Right now, into Sunday the 13th, it’s tiny with 1ft of 7-second SE windswell, cross-onshore wind, and the water temperature is sitting at 67°, about normal for this time of year with an anomaly of just +0.4°. Don’t bother.
Monday the 14th sees a bump to 4ft from the SSE but with a short 8-second period and cross-shore wind, producing weak, poor surf. Combined energy is a modest 169 — not enough to get excited about. Tuesday the 15th is even smaller, and by Wednesday the 16th we get the biggest swell of the whole run: 5ft from the south at 8 seconds. That’s the only day that might catch your eye, but it’s cross-onshore wind and the combined energy (343) is still only moderate. Plus, it’s really only for the more experienced crew — beginners will find 5ft a bit much.
After that, it’s all downhill. Thursday the 17th morning goes glassy with 1ft of long-period 12-second SE groundswell, but the energy is a pathetic 42. Clean, yes, but totally flat. The rest of the week stays tiny and weak.
There’s a tiny flicker on Sunday the 20th — 3ft from the ENE, 8-second period, with offshore NW winds in the morning giving clean conditions and a combined energy of 113. It’s “surfable waves but very ordinary,” according to the numbers. Monday the 21st stays clean with offshore winds but only 2ft. Then it goes south again, with stronger cross-onshore winds building from the 22nd onward.
Even the late period — around Friday the 25th — shows a clean, offshore morning with 2ft from the NE at 8 seconds, energy of 105, but it’s still tiny and forgettable. The rest just fades to nothing. Honestly, this is a blank run that feels pretty normal for a sheltered spot like this — the forecasts can always change, but for now, leave the board at home.
Rusty.
