The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this isn’t a week for hanging ten in Brazil. We’re looking at a long, frustrating stretch where the conditions just don’t line up for a good paddle. The whole 16-day window is essentially a write-off for quality waves.
Right from Wednesday the 16th of September, it’s a mess. The wind is coming in from the east at 12 mph, blowing straight across the wave face and making things choppy. Swell is a weak 4 ft from the ESE, and the energy is only moderate (203). It’s a no-go from the start.
The pattern doesn’t let up. Through Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and into the next week, every single forecast call is for “poor surf conditions.” The wind stays onshore or cross-onshore, mostly from the SE or E, gusting up to 19 mph at times. The swell height bounces between 3 ft and 6 ft, but it’s all junky. The period is short – mostly 7 or 8 seconds – so it’s just lumpy, weak, wind-affected slop. Even when the combined energy spikes to a moderate 564 on Friday the 18th, the 6 ft swell is from the SE with a 7-second period and howling onshore wind. No bueno.
That big spike in energy you see on the 24th of September, hitting 871? That’s a 5 ft swell from the E with an 11-second period. Sounds promising, right? Wrong. The wind is a cross-shore breeze at 16 mph, creating a nasty cross-chop. It’s not a surfable wave.
We get a tiny reprieve on the 1st of October, but it’s a joke – 1.0 ft of swell with a long 11-second period. That’s barely a ripple, and the wind is still 16 mph and cross-onshore. The energy is a weak 29. You’d be better off taking the paddleboard out for a flat-water session.
The bottom line? For the next 16 days, Pontal do Peba is not the place to be. With no standout windows and constant wind issues, the setup actually looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. Keep your wetsuit dry. The forecasts aren't always this bleak, but this time around, it’s a solid blank run.
Rusty.
