The Lowdown
G’day, this is Rusty. Let’s be straight with you – the next 16 days here at Pontal do Peba are a tough run. The forecast is stubborn: plenty of swell on the cards, but the wind just won’t play nice, and the surf quality is marked poor right through. There’s not a single standout in the window. The water’s sitting at 79°, which is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
Starting off from Monday the 20th of July, we’ve got a solid 7 ft swell from the SE, with a short period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy is moderate-to-strong (615). But the wind is a cross-onshore from the E at 15 mph, tearing it up. Afternoon drops to 6 ft, still messy. Tuesday the 21st stays similar – 7 ft in the morning, cross-on ESE breeze at 12 mph, and the energy jumps to 1014 (strong), but it’s all chop. Wednesday the 22nd sees the wind turn onshore, but it’s still 6 ft SE swell with a short period; the surf is poor. Thursday the 23rd drops to 5 ft, still onshore or cross-on, and Friday the 24th down to 4 ft. The weekend of the 25th and 26th is small – 4 ft to 4 ft – with gentle cross-onshore winds, but the quality never lifts.
From the 27th of July, we go into a lull with swell dropping to 3 ft, short period of 7 seconds, and the energy is weak (138 to 169). The wind is cross or cross-on, so it’s small and choppy. This stretch lasts through to the 30th. Then things pick up a little around the 30th and 31st of July: a 3 ft to 4 ft groundswell from the S and SSE, with a longer period of 11 to 12 seconds, and the energy climbs to 389 (moderate). The wind is onshore or cross-on, though, so it’s still poor surf. The 1st of August stays small and messy.
The final few days from the 2nd to the 4th of August see a return of bigger swell – 6 ft to 6 ft from the SE, short period of 7 to 8 seconds, and the energy gets strong (up to 1234 on the 4th). But the wind is cross-on or onshore, and the forecast still says poor surf conditions. This setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, honestly.
There’s no good surf option in this 16-day window. The break is fairly consistent, so it’s a bit of a blank run, but forecasts can shift. Keep an eye on it.
