The Lowdown
Alright, let me switch over to the imperial system for you. Same story, different numbers. The whole 16-day stretch is a dud for Pontal do Peba. Every single session is marked as "poor surf conditions," and I can’t find a single standout day to recommend. It’s a long, flat, and windy period.
We’re looking at ESE swell mostly, with heights around 3 ft to 5 ft, but the period is short – 7 to 8 seconds. That’s weak, choppy energy. The combined energy is weak to moderate, with values like 325 (Thursday) and 354 (Thursday afternoon). The wind is blowing onshore or cross-onshore at 10 to 12 mph, which is enough to mess up any clean lines. This is more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddle-surfing one.
There’s a little spike on the 3rd of August (Monday morning) with combined energy hitting 521 and swell height at 6 ft, but it’s still cross-onshore with an 8-second period. It’s raw and messy. Water temp is 79°F, with a tiny anomaly of 0.7°F, so it’s about average for this time of year.
Pontal do Peba is a beginner-plus spot, fairly consistent, and exposed to south swell. The optimum wind is from the NW, but we’re getting ESE winds all the way. Crowds are "sometimes," so you won’t have to fight for waves, but the conditions are fighting you. The swell direction is off – it’s mostly ESE, not the preferred south.
Honestly, there’s nothing to recommend. It’s a blank run. You might find something rideable on the 4th of August (Tuesday afternoon) when the wind drops to 12 mph and the swell is 6 ft, but it’s still onshore. It’s going to be a frustrating wait.
