Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Praia da Baleia over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, we’re starting with a bit of a flat spell. The first couple of days are pretty grim, with tiny, weak swell and messy cross-shore wind making it a write-off. Don’t bother paddling out on the 3rd or 4th – the waves are either too small or the conditions are just poor.
Things start to turn on the morning of Sunday the 5th. We’ve got a solid 6ft swell from the south, with a decent 12-second period, and the wind is absolutely glassy – dead calm. That’s the best you’ll find early on, offering clean, well-shaped waves. The combined energy is healthy at 899 (moderate), so there’s some push behind it. The water is sitting at a pleasant 71°, which is about par for the course for this time of year – no nasty surprises there.
Monday the 6th keeps the good run going, with clean glassy conditions in the morning on a 5ft south swell. It’s a touch smaller than Sunday, but still fun. Later in the week, we drop off a bit in size, but the afternoons on Wednesday the 8th and Thursday the 9th still offer glassy, clean conditions on waist-high waves.
Now, for the real standout – mark your calendars for Tuesday the 14th of July. The morning session is looking mint, with a clean, glassy 6ft south swell (13-second period) and a combined energy of 980 (moderate). That’s going to be excellent. The following morning, Wednesday the 15th, is also clean and glassy, though a little smaller.
But the best of the best? That’s shaping up to be Thursday the 16th of July. The morning kicks off with a clean 6ft south swell and a 12-second period. The combined energy jumps to 1003 (moderate-strong), and the wind is dead calm. This is surf for experienced guys who know what they’re doing – it’s likely too big for beginners. The glassy, clean conditions are going to make it a ripper of a day at Praia da Baleia.
The Friday the 17th morning is still very good, with clean 6ft surf, and the Saturday the 18th morning brings offshore wind and a clean 6ft swell to round out the run. Overall, there’s a lovely window of quality surf starting from the 5th, with a clear peak around the 14th and 16th.
Stay stoked.
Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at Praia da Baleia can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Praia da Baleia 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. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
