The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it, but I’ve gotta be straight with you – this is a tough stretch for the Porto Corsini (river) area. We’re looking at a 16-day window that’s pretty much a write-off for any decent paddle surfing. The forecast is full of tiny, weak swells with poor conditions, so don’t get your hopes up.
The very first surfable blip is a pretty sad one. On Monday, August 17th, we see a 0.7ft swell from the ESE with a short period of 3 seconds. The combined energy is a measly 1 (weak energy) and the wind is offshore but moderate. It’s technically surfable, but it’s barely a ripple. We go through a long gap of several days with nothing but poor surf conditions and no recommendations.
The water temperature at the start of this period is a whopping 86°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – a 7° anomaly. That’s very unusual.
The next real glimmer doesn’t come until Thursday, August 27th. The morning shows a 5ft swell from the ENE with a 6-second period. The combined energy finally hits a moderate 183. The wind is offshore from the W at 6 mph, which is clean. This is the biggest swell of the whole forecast, but it’s a short-period, windswell-type wave. For a river break, this might actually be the best we get, but it’s still only a "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions" kind of day. The following morning, Friday, August 28th, offers a similar, slightly smaller 3ft swell from the E with a 6-second period (106 combined energy) and offshore wind, but again, it’s just average.
The lone standout here is Thursday morning, August 27th. The 5ft ENE swell is the biggest of the bunch, and with clean offshore wind, it’s your best shot at something to ride. But be warned, this is a beginner-friendly spot, and 5ft is right at the top limit for that crowd. The period is short, so the waves will be a bit weak and mushy, but it’s the only thing that even comes close to a decent session.
For the rest of the period, we’re looking at tiny waves, onshore breezes, and a lot of "poor surf conditions" labels. The second week has nothing of note. Honestly, if you’re desperate for a paddle, the 27th morning is your only real window. Otherwise, the wind and tiny swell make this setup look more interesting for kite surfers on a few of those windy afternoons than for anyone holding a surfboard.
Rusty.

Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Porto Corsini may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself.
