The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here, let's get into it.
First up, we're looking at a pretty lean stretch for Praia De Piata. The water's sitting at 79°, which is about average for this time of year, so nothin' to worry about there.
The next week and a half is mostly a write-off for any decent surf. The conditions are just ordinary, with a lot of onshore and cross-onshore winds messing things up. The swell is small, generally around 3ft, and the energy is weak, with readings like 261, 248, 194, all under 1000. It's a lot of chop and poor surf. There's a real gap here until we get to the second week.
Now, there is a little glimmer of hope if you're patient. The standout window is Saturday morning, the 15th of August. The swell direction is ESE, but we get a small 2ft bump with a nice long period of 10 seconds. The wind is a light 3 mph from the north, which is a cross-offshore breeze, and it's described as "clean." The combined energy is 211, which is still moderate but the clean conditions are a major plus. The best bet is to get out early that morning, as the afternoon gets messy with onshore winds again.
After that, the swell starts to pulse up a bit more, with energy readings climbing into the 500s and 600s by the 18th and 19th, and heights hitting 6ft to 7ft. But the wind is still cross-on or onshore, so it's gonna be a messy, choppy affair. At that size, with the poor conditions, this spot might be more interesting for the kite surfers than for paddle surfing.
So, in a nutshell: the first week is a dud. The only real standout is that Saturday morning, August 15th. Keep an eye on that, but the rest of the outlook is pretty flat.
Rusty.

Information about the Praia De Piata Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Praia De Piata provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Praia De Piata can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Praia De Piata surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Praia De Piata) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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 Praia De Piata 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. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
