Table - best surf conditions forecast for Pontal do Peba over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – this is a tough one to write. We’re looking at the next 16 days for Pontal do Peba and, honestly, the forecast is a proper dud. There are no good surf options on the table right now. The swell is there, but the wind and conditions are just wrecking everything.
The water temp is sitting at 80°F which is about average for the time of year, so at least you won't be cold while you're watching the chop.
For the first week, from Saturday the 11th right through to the end of the week, the wind is a mess. We’ve got a mix of cross-on and onshore breezes, with speeds picking up to 19 mph at times. The swell energy is moderate, hitting around 539 (moderate energy) on Saturday morning, but it’s all being blown out. The waves are coming in from the SE at 4 ft with a decent 13-second period, but that’s wasted with the cross-on wind. It’s all just choppy and lumpy. Even when the swell bumps up to 5 ft and 5 ft on Thursday and Friday the 17th and 18th, with energy readings over 1000 (strong), the wind is howling onshore, and the conditions are ranked as poor. That’s more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddle session.
The second week doesn't get any better. From the 20th of July onwards, the swell drops in period to a short, weak 8 seconds, with energy falling to 220 (weak) by the 24th. The swell height hangs around 4 ft to 5 ft, but the wind is still onshore or cross-on. There’s no clean window. The break is fairly consistent, but when the conditions are this bad, it doesn’t matter. A blank run like this is more normal for the area when the wind patterns are locked in wrong.
Look, it’s a grim outlook. The forecast can change, and it tends not to stay this poor for long, but for now, I’d say save the wax and wait for the next system.
Rusty.
