Praia do Aventureiro Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, this is Rusty, and I’m looking at the next 16 days for Praia do Aventureiro.

First up, the water’s running about 72°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – nothing crazy, just a nice little bonus.

The first real action kicks off on Saturday, July 25th, with a clean morning. We’ve got a 4ft south swell, 10-second period, and the wind is glassy – dead calm. That’s a recipe for some fun, clean waves at this point break. The swell energy is moderate (317), so nothing huge, but it’ll be tidy. The afternoon gets a bit cross-shore, so morning is the call.

Sunday, July 26th drops in size a bit to 3ft, but the period jumps to 14 seconds – that’s proper groundswell, and it’s glassy again in the morning. The energy bumps up to 437, so there’s more push behind those waves. This is a standout for a long, clean session. The longer period means longer lulls between sets, but the shape should be good on this point.

Monday, July 27th is similar – 3ft, 12-second swell, and another glassy morning. Energy is moderate (277). Another solid morning sesh, but the afternoons get onshore, so stick to the early.

There’s a real dry spell after that. From Tuesday, July 29th through to Friday, August 1st, the surf is tiny, weak, or the wind is junk. A few mornings have glass but the swell is barely 2ft to 2ft, with energy dropping into the double digits. This stretch is a write-off for paddle surfing.

Saturday, August 2nd morning offers a little hope – 4ft south swell, 11 seconds, but the wind is cross-on, and the energy is moderate (358). It’s marginal, but you might find a couple if you’re keen.

Sunday, August 3rd morning is glassy with 2ft, 11-second swell – ordinary, but rideable.

Now, here’s the real standout: Tuesday, August 5th. The morning brings 4ft of south swell, 12-second period, and glassy conditions. The energy is strong (726). This is the best of the whole forecast – clean, solid, and with enough power to make it worthwhile. The afternoon goes onshore, so don’t sleep in.

After that, the swell sticks around but the wind turns ugly. From Wednesday, August 6th through to the end of the forecast (Sunday, August 9th), it’s mostly cross or onshore winds, with short-period (8-second) east and southeast swells. The energy is weak to moderate (100–200 range), and the quality is poor. A few mornings might be glassy, but the waves are small and messy.

Overall, the best of the bunch are the mornings of Saturday, July 25th, Sunday, July 26th, Monday, July 27th, and the absolute standout is Tuesday, August 5th morning. If you’re chasing a clean, punchy session, that’s the one.

Rusty out.
