Alright mates, Rusty here with a look at the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, the outlook for Pontal do Peba is pretty grim. We’re talkin’ a solid 16-day stretch of poor surf with hardly a moment worth paddling out. The swell’s small, the wind is near-always blowin’ the wrong way.
From Wednesday, July 8th, we’ve got a tiny 2ft south swell but an east cross-on breeze has it all chopped up. Wave energy is weak at 363. Not worth it. Thursday the 9th, the swell nudges up to around 3–4ft from the south-southeast, but the wind stays cross-on or onshore, keepin’ it sloppy. Friday, same old story.
Saturday the 11th is the first hint of somethin’ marginally better. The morning shows a 4ft SSE swell with moderate energy (618), and the wind is a light cross-on from the east. It’s not clean, but it’s borderline. Afternoon goes downhill, and Sunday’s back to poor.
Monday the 13th is your best bet, and that’s not sayin’ much. A light north-northeasterly cross-offshore breeze cleans it up for a minute, with a small 2ft SE swell. Energy is low at 303, but a beginner might snag a few in the mornin’. Afternoon gets messy again.
From there it’s a long, dusty run. The wind stays onshore or cross-on right through to the end. Swell sizes bounce from 2ft to around 5ft, but the wind is always there to chop it up. In the second week, from Monday the 20th onward, the swell gets over 5ft from the east-southeast, but the period drops to just 7–8 seconds – that’s short-period, wind-slop. Energy climbs to 572 on Wednesday the 22nd, but it’s blowin’ 30 km/h onshore. That’s more of a kite-surfing day than a paddle-surfing one.
Water temp is about 80°, which is pretty normal for this time of year.
No standouts here. If you’re desperate, the Monday morning the 13th offers a sliver of cleanish conditions on a small swell. Otherwise, keep the board in the car.
Rusty.
