Praia do Magoito Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin' for Praia do Magoito over the next couple of weeks. It's a bit of a mixed bag, but there's a couple of windows that'll get the heart pumping.

Right off the bat, this place is a reef setup that suits beginners, and it's very consistent. The water's sitting at 69°, which is pretty much spot on for this time of year, nothing weird there.

The first several days are a write-off, I'm not gonna lie. From Tuesday the 8th through to Saturday the 12th, it's a no-go. The wind is a mess, mostly a fresh cross-onshore that's just killing any chance of a clean wave. The swell is small and weak, with energy readings barely cracking triple digits – you're looking at numbers like 306 on Tuesday morning, but with that brutal 16 mph north wind, it's just blown-out slop. We drop to almost nothing by Friday.

Sunday the 13th is where it gets interesting. That morning is the standout. We've got a clean 4ft swell rolling in from the NW with a 13-second period – that's some proper groundswell energy. The combined energy is a solid 512, which is a nice push. But the kicker? Glassy conditions. A 3 mph easterly offshore, dead calm. That's the recipe for perfection. This is the best of the forecast, hands down. That NW groundswell will wrap in nicely here. Just a heads up, you might have some company as crowds are sometimes an issue.

Monday the 14th morning is still looking good, with a glassy 4ft NW swell (324 energy), but it's not quite the same punch as Sunday. The afternoon gets a bit sketchy with the wind turning onshore.

We hit another flat spell from Tuesday the 15th all the way through to Friday the 18th. Small, weak swells and bumpy winds. Nothing to get out of bed for.

Then Saturday the 19th morning offers a glimmer. A smaller 3ft NW swell (216 energy) but with glassy conditions again. It's a fun-size wave, cleaner than anything we've seen in a week.

Sunday the 20th morning is the other long-range standout. Look for a clean 4ft NW swell (280 energy) with a glassy 3 mph ESE offshore wind. That's a real promising setup for a Sunday session, though remember it's a week and a half out, so keep an eye on it.

After that, the tail end of the outlook from Monday the 21st onward fades back into small, ordinary conditions. The last little pulse on Wednesday the 23rd has some energy (374) but the wind looks messy again.

So, to wrap it up: the absolute pick of the bunch is the morning of Sunday the 13th. Magical conditions. The morning of Monday the 14th, and then the mornings of the 19th and 20th are the other ones to pencil in.

Rusty out.
