The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you about what's on the menu for the next couple of weeks.
Well, I gotta be honest, the outlook for Pontal do Peba is a tough one. Looking at the whole 16-day window, we’re staring down a long, tough stretch. The first decent surfable day isn't until the 29th of July, but it's a bit of a false start because the conditions are just poor. From there, we go through a string of days where the wind is just blasting onshore or cross-onshore, messing up what could be a fun wave. The swell is there, but it's short-period windswell, mostly from the ESE and SE, and the wind is just never playing ball. For a beginner-plus spot like this, those waves over 5 ft, like the 6 ft on Saturday the 1st of August and the 6 ft on Sunday the 2nd of August, are going to be a handful, and the onshore wind will make them a messy, bumpy closeout. The water is a warm 80°F, so pretty much what you'd expect for this time of year.
The standout moment, if you can call it that, is a two-day window around the 11th and 12th of August. We've got a bit more period in the swell, lifting to 9 seconds, which means a bit more shape and energy. The combined energy is solid. The swell is still from the ESE, but the break is exposed to the south, so it's a bit off-angle. The biggest problem is the wind is still a cross-onshore breeze from the east at 12 mph, keeping things choppy. It's not the clean, peeling wave we all dream of, but it's the best we've got. If you're desperate for a paddle, the Tuesday afternoon of the 11th of August is your best bet with 6 ft of swell, but don't expect perfection.
Honestly, for the most part, this setup is looking more interesting for the kite surfers than the paddle surfers. The onshore winds and consistent, albeit messy, swell will give them plenty to play with. For a surfer, it's a tough stretch with very few windows of clean conditions. Keep an eye on the forecasts, because it tends not to stay this poor for too long, but right now, the pickings are slim.
Rusty.
