The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with the imperial version. Let’s be straight – this next 16-day stretch is a bummer. We’re looking at a solid block of "poor surf conditions" from start to finish, with no quality windows at all. The water temp is 80°F, right around average for this time of year, so you won’t freeze, but you’ll be fighting the wind.
The only spot in the game is Pontal do Peba. It’s a fairly consistent break, exposed to the south, so it can handle the direction, but the wind is the killer. From Tuesday the 11th all the way through the end of the run, we’ve got a persistent onshore and cross-onshore breeze from the southeast and east. That means bumpy, choppy, blown-out surf. The swell energy is moderate, with combined energy readings mostly between 200 and 877, but the swell periods are short – 6 to 8 seconds mostly – so it’s just weak, lumpy windswell with no push.
Thursday the 13th morning has a slightly bigger bump at 6ft from the SSE, with energy up to 805, but it’s still cross-onshore with a gentle breeze. Bigger, but not better.
The most interesting moment is Wednesday the 12th, with a 3ft south swell at a very long 15 seconds. That’s proper groundswell. But the wind is onshore from the southeast at 15 mph, so it’s a total write-off. Same thing on Sunday the 16th: 4ft from the south at 15 seconds, but cross-onshore wind again. For a point or reef, that long period would be gold, but at a beach break like Pontal do Peba with that wind, it’s just a mess.
There are no standout days. No clean windows. This is a long, flat, windy stretch. The spot is fairly consistent, so it won’t be like this forever, but for now, you’re better off doing something else. Keep an eye on the forecast, but don’t hold your breath.
Rusty.
