G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ve got to be straight with you – the next couple of weeks aren’t going to be one for the highlight reel around Pontal do Peba. The whole 16-day outlook is a bit of a flat, windy mess, and there’s not a single session I’d honestly call a winner. The surf picks up occasionally, but it’s constantly let down by onshore wind and rough conditions.
The period kicks off with nothing really worth paddling out for. Sunday the 5th and Monday the 6th have small 3ft to 4ft ESE swell, but it’s coming from the wrong direction, and the wind is onshore or cross-onshore all day – the water’s choppy and messy. Tuesday the 7th drops right off, with tiny 1ft to 2ft swell. The morning has a glimmer of potential with a very long period (13 to 21 seconds), but it's just not big enough to do anything with, and the wind is cross-onshore. That long-period groundswell would be better at a reef or point, but here it’s just breaking too straight and weak.
As we move through the first week, into Thursday the 9th and Friday the 10th, the swell bumps up slightly to 4ft to 4ft from the SSE with a 12-second period (moderate energy, around 395 to 412). It sounds okay on paper, but the wind is either onshore or cross-onshore – the reports keep saying ‘poor surf conditions’ and ‘gentle cross-onshore and fairly choppy.’ It's just not clean.
Even the weekend of July 12th and 13th doesn’t bring any relief. The swell stays around 2ft to 3ft with short periods, and the wind gets stronger – up to 16 mph from the ENE. For a beach setup like this, that kind of cross-onshore breeze with moderate chop is more interesting for kite surfing than riding a log.
There’s a small pulse around Wednesday the 16th of July – 4ft from the S at 8 seconds – but again, the wind is onshore. The energy is moderate but the quality just isn’t there.
Honestly, the only thing worth noting is that the water temp early on is 80°F with a +0.9° anomaly, so about average for this time of year. But that’s about the only thing going for it.
So, what’s the call? There’s no standout. No hidden gem. The whole stretch is a write-off for decent paddle surfing. It might not stay ugly forever, but right now, the forecast is telling me to leave the board in the car and wait for a better window.
Rusty.
