Praia do Aventureiro Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get into it.

We’ve got a solid run of surf coming up at Praia do Aventureiro. It’s a beginner-friendly point break, very consistent, and the water is sitting at 74° – a full 4° warmer than normal for this time of year, so it’s feeling more like a tropical bath than the usual. That’s a real treat.

The real standout window opens on Saturday the 22nd. Morning glass-off with a clean 6ft S swell, a period of 10 seconds, and light winds from the SW. The energy is moderate at 650. It’s not massive, but for a point break, that’s a fun, rideable size. The crowds can pop up here sometimes, but with conditions that clean, you’ll want to be in the water early.

Sunday the 23rd is another morning gem. The swell drops a touch to 5ft from the south, still a clean 10-second period, and the wind is glassy from the NNE. Energy is down to 439, but the vibe is pure. The afternoons on both days get a bit messy with cross or cross-onshore winds, so make the most of the mornings.

Now, the next big standout – and this is the one to circle on your calendar – is Wednesday the 26th. The morning brings a very long-period S swell at 7ft with a 16-second period. That’s serious groundswell energy, coming in at a strong 2524. It’s only for experienced surfers at this size and period, especially on a point. The wind is glassy from the ESE. This is the pick of the entire outlook. The afternoon turns onshore and choppy, but that morning session looks world-class for those who can handle it.

Thursday the 27th morning will still have plenty of punch with a 6ft SSE swell and a 14-second period, under clear skies and glassy W winds. Energy is still strong at 1270. Another excellent session.

From Friday the 28th onwards, the swell starts to fade. The 28th has a 4ft S swell, but the wind is onshore and conditions are marginal. The weekend of the 29th and 30th drops below 3ft with weak energy – 170 and 112 respectively – and cross-off or cross winds. It’s surfable but very ordinary.

By the 31st, we’re down to 2ft with energy in the 70s, and that flat spell stretches into the first days of September. There’s a brief flicker on Wednesday the 2nd of September with a 3ft ESE groundswell at 10 seconds and glassy morning conditions, energy at 282 – worth a look for a small-wave cruiser session. But from there, it’s mostly poor with onshore winds and tiny swell through the 6th.

So, for the next two weeks: Saturday the 22nd and Sunday the 23rd mornings are your fun, accessible sessions. Wednesday the 26th morning is the big, powerful standout for the experienced crew. After that, it goes quiet.

Rusty out.
