The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ve gotta be straight with you – this 16-day window for Pontal do Peba is a tough one. There’s no real standout, quality surf on offer. The whole stretch is a write-off for a decent paddle. It’s a pretty grim run, to be honest.
We kick off from Saturday, August 1st. The water’s sitting at 80°, which is about normal for the time of year. The swell is coming from the SE at 5ft, but it’s got a short, weak period of just 7 seconds. The wind is onshore and moderate, so the surface is all chopped out. The combined energy is moderate at best (231), but the commentary says it all: poor surf conditions. This same basic story plays out through Sunday the 2nd and Monday the 3rd, with a bit more energy on Monday (671) but still onshore wind and rain showers making a mess of it.
Tuesday the 4th through to Saturday the 8th is more of the same. Swell sizes bounce between 4ft and 6ft, but it’s all short-period SE windswell. The wind swings cross-onshore, keeping the waves choppy and ugly. The energy numbers are moderate, hitting a peak of 706 on Tuesday morning, but it’s wasted with the wind. There’s nothing to get excited about.
Then we hit a real lull. Sunday the 9th and Monday the 10th, the swell drops right off to 2ft to 5ft, still with that cross-onshore breeze. The wave energy is weak (120 to 243). The middle of the week from Tuesday the 11th to Friday the 14th is a flat, boring stretch – swell holding around 4ft to 5ft, with energy numbers dropping as low as 139. It’s all cross-onshore and messy.
The last couple of days, Saturday the 15th and Sunday the 16th, see a bit of a bump in size. On the 15th we’ve got 5ft to 5ft SE swell, but still cross-onshore. Then on Sunday the 16th, the swell jumps to 8ft to 8ft from the SSE with a period of 8 seconds, and the energy gets strong (890 to 932). But the wind is still onshore, and the forecast is still calling it poor surf conditions. The size is getting up there – over 8ft is only for experts – but the quality just isn’t there.
Honestly, there’s no good surf on offer here. The whole 16 days is a blank run. With the persistent onshore and cross-onshore winds and short-period swell, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. The conditions are just not cooperating. Keep an eye on it, but don’t hold your breath.
Rusty.
