The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's headed our way.
Alright, listen up. We're looking at a pretty slow start, but there's a glimmer of hope later on. The water's sitting at 64°, which is a bit colder than usual for this time of year, so you might want that extra layer.
First up, the best bet in the whole window is Saturday morning, July 25th at Praia da Solidao (Caladinho). It's a point break that's fairly consistent, and it's exposed to the swell. We've got a 4ft swell rolling in from the SE, with a period of 9 seconds. The wind is glassy, WSW at 3 mph, so the face will be clean as a whistle. The wave energy is moderate (312). This is your standout session. The crowds are sometimes an issue, but for conditions like this, it's worth sharing the water.
Sunday morning, July 26th is also worth a paddle. The swell drops a touch to 3ft from the ESE, but it's still got a clean feel with a cross-offshore N wind at 9 mph. The energy is moderate (268). It won't be the same quality as Saturday, but it's a solid option.
Now, after that, things go quiet. There's a long gap with very little to recommend until Saturday morning, August 1st. The swell pops back up to 4ft from the E, 8 seconds, with a light offshore NW wind. It's surfable, but it's not the same quality as the earlier standout. The energy is moderate (240).
Then, Monday morning, August 3rd is another one to circle on the calendar. We've got a 4ft swell from the SSE, and the wind is glassy from the N at 3 mph. The period is short at 7 seconds, but the energy is moderate (377). This could be a fun little session.
Tuesday afternoon, August 4th is a maybe. The swell is 3ft from the E with a 9-second period, and the wind is a clean cross-offshore from the N at 6 mph. The energy is moderate (286). It's worth a look if you're keen.
The rest of the window is mostly small, weak, and crossed up. The combined energy drops well below 100 for many days, meaning the ocean will be pretty flat. The best bet, without a doubt, is that Saturday morning session. Get out there.
Rusty.
