The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you – it's a tough stretch ahead for Pontal do Peba. The entire 16-day window is plagued by onshore and cross-onshore winds that just won't let up, leaving the surf messy and choppy. We're looking at a long, blank run with no real quality on offer.
The water temp is sitting at 80° with a positive anomaly of 1°, which is pretty average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
Our only spot in the mix is Pontal do Peba, an exposed beginner-plus option that's fairly consistent. It's set up for a south swell, and we do see a persistent east-southeast swell pushing through the period. But the wind is the killer. From Monday afternoon, August 31st, right through to Tuesday, September 15th, it's a constant battle of moderate to fresh easterly and east-northeasterly winds, all cross-on or cross-shore. The combined swell energy is weak to moderate, ranging from 105 to 882, but it's all for nothing with that wind.
The swell hovers between 3ft and 6ft, with periods mostly short, between 6 and 10 seconds, so it's not groundswell with any real power. The best of a bad bunch might be the first session on Monday afternoon, August 31st, with a 6ft east swell at 8 seconds, but the cross-on 16 mph easterly wind makes it "poor surf conditions." Every single entry in the file says the same thing: poor surf conditions. There's no standout, no glassy window, no offshore flow to save us. Honestly, with the onshore wind and messy cross-chop, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
It's a frustrating forecast, but Pontal do Peba is fairly consistent – it tends not to stay this poor for long, and forecasts can change. Keep an eye on it, but for now, I'd leave the board at home.
