The Lowdown
Alright mates, Rusty here, checking in on Pontal do Peba. Let's not sugarcoat it – this one is a drought.
Water's warm, about 79°F, par for the course, but that's about it. We're looking at close to two weeks of poor surf before anything vaguely rideable shows up. The swell energy does build – you see numbers in the hundreds, even up in the strong range – but the wind, mostly onshore or cross-onshore from the east and southeast, just chews it up.
Let's walk through it.
Sunday the 26th of July is flat. A 0.9m (3 ft) ESE windswell with a dud 7-second period and a weak 92 energy reading. Onshore wind. Same story through the end of July – tiny waves, onshore flow, no good.
August kicks off with the swell slowly climbing. By the 1st we're at 1.4m (5 ft), by the 2nd it's 1.6m (5 ft) and then 1.7m (6 ft) with a strong energy reading of 700. But it's still onshore. The wind just doesn't let up. By the 4th we're seeing 2.0m (7 ft) ESE swell, but again, the conditions are poor.
The only glimmer of hope is Friday the 7th of August. The afternoon shows a smaller 0.8m (3 ft) swell, but it's from the SSE with a whopping 15-second period – proper groundswell. The energy is still strong at 525. It's called "marginal," and the wind is a gentle cross-onshore. That long period means the waves will have punch and shape, but at a beach break like Pontal do Peba they might close out a bit. For a patient surfer, this is the one to target. Anything above 2.5m (8 ft) is expert territory, and we never hit that, but 1.5m (5 ft) and up can still be a handful for beginners, especially in these winds.
After that, it's back to choppy, onshore conditions for the rest of the 16 days.
To be honest, the whole forecast is a bust for a good paddle session. The best chance is a very cautious one on the 7th of August. For everyone else, this is looking like a kite-surfing window. Keep hoping for a change.
Rusty.
