The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s talk about Pontal do Peba.
Right off the bat, I’ve gotta be straight with you – this stretch of coast is going through a rough patch. The whole 16-day window is looking pretty ordinary, with no standout sessions on offer. The water’s sitting at 80°, which is pretty normal for this time of year.
From Sunday the 13th of September right through to Monday the 28th of September, every single forecast window is tagged as poor surf conditions. That’s a solid 16-day blank run. The swell sticks between 4ft and 6ft, mostly out of the ESE or SE, with short periods of 7 to 10 seconds – so not much push or shape. The combined wave energy starts around 230 and climbs into the moderate range, hitting 419 on Thursday the 17th and even 552 on Saturday the 19th, but that energy never translates into rideable waves because the wind is always messing it up.
Wind is the real killer here. It’s coming from the E, ESE, or ENE at 12 to 18 mph, almost always cross-on or onshore. That’s chopping up what little shape the swell has. Even when the swell bumps up to 6ft to 6ft on Friday the 18th, the wind is onshore and strong – 18 mph in the afternoon – so it’s messy. That’s more of a kitesurfing setup than a paddle session.
Pontal do Peba is a beginner-plus break, fairly consistent, and it’s exposed to southerly swells, but the wind direction never aligns with the offshore (NW). Crowds can show up sometimes, but with conditions this average, I doubt many will bother. There is no best session in this stretch. Honestly, this is one of those times you’d be better off waiting for the next system to roll through.
Stay patient. – Rusty
