The Lowdown
Right, folks. Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you on this one. We’re looking at a pretty grim 16-day run for Pontal do Peba. The honest truth is, there’s not a single good surf option in the whole window. The whole forecast period is one long gap with no recommendations. These conditions are just persistent, and it’s a tough run for a spot that’s fairly consistent.
The water temp is sitting at about 80°, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The whole thing kicks off on Saturday, 22 August, and it’s already a write-off. Tiny swell at 2 ft from the SE, a short period of 7 seconds, and a cross-onshore wind at 12 mph. The wave energy is weak (90). It’s just choppy and messy.
That same pattern just doesn’t let up. All through that first week, into the next, and right through to the end on Sunday, 6 September, it’s the same story. The swell height bounces between 2 ft and 6 ft, but it’s almost always from the SE or ESE, which is onshore for this break. The wind is a constant cross-on from the east, blowing at 12 to 16 mph, sometimes 19 mph.
There’s a tease on Tuesday, 27 August, where the period jumps to 17 seconds, a proper groundswell from the S, and the energy spikes up to 1243 (strong energy). But it’s still cross-on at 9 mph, and the forecast says it’s marginal at best. The swell is 4 ft, but with that wind, it’s just not going to clean up. It’s a real shame, but it’s a no-go.
After that, we’re back to the same old garbage. Swell from the ESE with a short period of 7 to 8 seconds, and that constant cross-on wind. The size gets up to 6 ft by the first week of September, but with the wind ruining it and the period being so short, the wave quality is always poor. The combined energy stays moderate to strong, but it’s all just lumpy, choppy, and unrideable.
For a spot that’s fairly consistent, this is a real bummer. But forecasts can change, and it tends not to stay this poor for too long. For now, leave the boards at home.
Rusty.
