The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you – we've got a bit of a dry spell on the cards at Praia do Magoito. This reef break is usually very consistent, but the next fortnight is looking like a tough run for anything rideable. We're talking a solid 16-day outlook with barely a ripple.
Right now, and for the next week, the swell is tiny – we're looking at waves about 1 ft coming from the WNW with a pretty weak energy. The wind is mostly cross-on or onshore, which just adds to the mess. The water temp is sitting about average for this time of year.
The first real pulse of energy shows up on Saturday, July 25th, with the swell nudging up to 5 ft from the NW, and the combined energy climbing to 300 (moderate). But the problem is the wind. It's a fresh cross-onshore, blowing 19 mph, making it lumpy and choppy. That's a pass for me.
The following week, from July 26th right through to August 5th, the story doesn't change much. We get a few days with a bit more energy – like the morning of August 3rd with 3 ft waves and energy of 188 (moderate) – but the wind is howling at 22 mph from the N, cross-on, and messy. On the morning of August 4th, the wind goes cross-shore, which is a slight improvement, but the swell is still only 3 ft and the energy is moderate (132). It's just not clean enough to get excited about.
Even the morning of July 30th looks glassy, but with only 1 ft of swell, there's nothing to surf. The bottom line is, there's no standout day here. The cleanest conditions are going to be ruined by a lack of size, and when there's a bit of size, the wind is going to kill it. This is a very consistent spot, so it's a bit of a shocker to see such a long run of poor surf. It's a waiting game, folks. The forecasts can change, but right now, I'd leave the board in the car.
Rusty.

Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Praia do Magoito 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.
