The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's cut to the chase. The next 16 days at Pontal do Peba are looking bleak. If you're hoping for a clean wave, you're going to be disappointed. The water is a normal 79°, so no surprises there, but the wind is the killer. That E/ESE breeze is going to be blowing cross-on for most of the period, putting a nasty chop on everything and ruining any chance of shape.
The first week is all about small, junky swell. We're looking at waves mostly in the 3 to 5 ft range, coming from the ESE with a short period. The wave energy is weak to moderate, with readings like 288 and 351, which just doesn't have any grunt. The weekend of the 5th and 6th will see a spike in energy, especially on Saturday morning when a 12-second S swell lifts the energy to 581. But it's still held down by that 20 km/h cross-on wind, so it's going to be lumpy, not clean.
After that, it's a grind. The swell periods drop to a weak 6 or 7 seconds, the energy stays low, and the wind just doesn't let up. We get a brief offshore on Tuesday the 8th, but with a 3 ft wave at 8 seconds, it's nothing to get excited about. This poor run of form stretches right through to the 16th.
The one glimmer of hope is on the morning of Thursday the 17th. The combined energy jumps to a solid 655, with a 1.5m swell. The period is only 8 seconds though, so it's a windswell, not a proper groundswell. And that cross-on wind is still there, so expect a powerful, messy wave – more for the experts, and maybe not even them. It's the strongest the forecast gets, but it's not a standout.
Honestly, there isn't a single day in the next 16 I'd tell you to make plans for Pontal do Peba. The spot keeps producing surf, but the quality is consistently poor, and with all that onshore chop, this looks like a stretch for the kitesurfers to have fun in, not us. It's a blank run, but that's normal for this area sometimes. Forecasts can shift, so don't lose hope, but for now, I'd find something else to do.
Rusty.
