The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the menu for Pontal do Peba.
To be straight with you, the next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat and messy. The whole 16-day window is a bit of a write-off, to be honest. There’s nothing that’s going to get your heart racing. The first proper surfable day doesn’t even show up until July 24th, and even then it’s only a marginal call. Before that, we’ve got a solid run of poor surf conditions with onshore or cross-onshore winds and a lumpy, choppy ocean. The swell is mostly short-period windswell from the SE, 5 ft to 8 ft, but it’s all blown out. The wind is fresh, 15 to 16 mph at times, which just makes a mess of things. For a spot like Pontal do Peba, this is a common pattern – it’s not unusual to see a blank run like this.
Water temp is sitting at 80°, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so you won’t need a thick suit.
The first real chance to get wet, and I’m using that word loosely, is on Friday July 24th in the morning. The swell drops to 5 ft from the ESE, with a period of 8 seconds. The energy is moderate (561). The wind is a gentle cross-onshore from the E at 9 mph, so it’ll be a bit choppy, but it’s the only time the forecast even says “marginal” instead of “poor.” It’s for beginners only, and even then, it’s not going to be pretty. The crowds are sometimes a thing here, but with conditions this average, I wouldn’t worry about company.
After that, the energy fades out quickly. By the end of the month, we’re down to 2 ft to 2 ft swells, with a mix of short and long-period energy from the S and SSE. The long period stuff (14-18 seconds) even shows up on July 28th, but the swell is so tiny (1 ft to 2 ft) that it’s barely a ripple. The wind is still onshore or cross-onshore, so it’s a no-go for a paddle.
There’s no standout here. Nothing to get excited about. Keep the board in the car for a few weeks, and check back in with me.
Rusty.
