Praia do Aventureiro Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s take a squiz at what Praia do Aventureiro has lined up over the next couple of weeks.

Water temp is runnin’ around 72°F, about 1°F warmer than usual for this time of year. Nothing wild, feels pretty normal for summer.

Right off the bat, Thursday morning has tiny 2ft waves from the east with a weak period, and the energy is low (120). The wind is glassy, but it’s small. Thursday arvo gets even weaker with a cross-on breeze. Not much to get excited about.

Friday is a washout. Both sessions are poor with a strong SSW wind and tiny, choppy waves. Give it a miss.

Then it gets interestin’. Saturday the 4th of July, we wake up to glassy conditions and a clean 5ft SSW swell. The energy jumps to moderate (584) and that offshore wind will have the point lookin’ tidy. Saturday morning is a solid option for a clean, fun session. Arvo gets a bit lumpy.

Sunday the 5th is a cracker. The swell pushes to 6ft from the south with a 12-second period – that’s proper groundswell, good energy (1026). The wind is light cross-offshore in the morning, so expect clean, punchy waves. This is a standout for the first week.

Monday the 6th is messy with onshore wind and dropping swell. Not your best day.

Tuesday the 7th is back on: clear, light cross-offshore, 4ft SSE groundswell. Smaller but clean. A good day for a longboard.

Wednesday the 8th has the swell hittin’ 6ft in the arvo but with a short period (8 secs). It’ll be crumbly, but clean conditions make it rideable.

Thursday the 9th morning is a real gem. 5ft S swell, 12-second period, light offshore wind. Clean, lined-up waves rollin’ down the point. That’s a proper session.

Friday the 10th morning is glassy with 4ft S swell – clean and fun. Arvo gets blown out.

The weekend of the 11th and 12th is small – 2ft to 3ft. Glassy mornings but barely any push.

Now for the second week. Monday the 13th arvo packs a surprise: a late jump to 8ft SSW swell but with a short period of 7 seconds. It’s lumpy and a bit messy.

Tuesday the 14th morning is a highlight: 6ft S swell, 11-second groundswell, glassy offshore wind. Clean, powerful waves (energy 851). That’s a standout for experienced surfers.

The big one is Wednesday the 15th of July. Clear, glassy morning. 8ft SSE swell with a long 13-second period. Very strong energy (1677). That’s a heavy, clean, powerful groundswell for experts only. Circle that date.

Thursday the 16th holds beautifully: 6ft SSE, 12 seconds, glassy all day (1098 energy). Another epic day.

Friday the 17th fades to 5ft SE with cross-shore wind, then finishes with 3ft SE swell.

Best bets: Sunday the 5th morning for punchy fun, Thursday the 9th morning for classic clean lines, and the standout expert session on Wednesday the 15th. Crowds are possible here sometimes, so get in early for the glass.

Rusty.
