The Lowdown
Alright, let’s be straight with you – this outlook is a tough one. Over the next 16 days, Pontal do Peba is just not handing us anything decent. The whole run is a write-off for a proper paddle session. The wind is a constant problem, mostly cross-on or onshore from the east or southeast, blowing at 12 to 16 mph, and the wave quality is just poor. It’s a shame because the spot is a beginner-plus wave that’s fairly consistent, and the water is a warm 80° with the anomaly sitting right about average for this time of year, so that’s not the issue.
For the first few days, from Sunday the 6th through to Wednesday the 9th, the swell is small – 2ft to 5ft – with a short, weak period of 7-8 seconds from the ESE or SE. The combined energy is weak to moderate (between 142 and 346), but the wind ruins it. Then from Thursday the 10th through to Friday the 18th, the swell picks up a bit, pushing 5ft to 6ft, and the energy climbs into the moderate range (up to 616), but the wind stays cross-on, so it’s just choppy and messy. On Saturday the 12th, there’s a spike in period to 16 seconds from the south, which is a very long period groundswell (energy 513), but the wind is cross-on at 16 mph, and a long period swell like that at a beach break setup can be tricky – it tends to break too straight. Still, with the wind, it’s not worth chasing.
The remainder of the month, from the 19th to the 21st, is more of the same: 5ft to 5ft swell, short period, and cross-on wind. There is no standout session here. The only positive is that the spot is fairly consistent, so this kind of blank run isn’t totally abnormal for the area. If you’re a kite surfer, the setup might look more interesting than for paddle surfing, but for a wave rider, there’s nothing to recommend. Save your energy and wait for a change in the forecast.
