Alright, Rusty here with the look at Praia da Baleia in feet and miles per hour.
Water temp is sitting at 71°, which is a touch above average for this time of year – feels pretty good.
Monday the 6th is where it starts. Morning glass under clear skies with a light ENE breeze at 3 mph. We got a 5ft south swell at 11 seconds. The combined wave energy is sitting at moderate (733). It's clean and it's the best bet early on. Praia da Baleia can get a few folks out there sometimes, but that morning window will be sweet.
Tuesday and Wednesday are nothing to write home about – wind messes things up and the swell gets weak or short. Thursday the 9th morning is a good one though: dead calm, glassy, 4ft south swell at 11 seconds. Clean but with moderate energy (401).
Then it goes quiet. Friday the 10th through the weekend drops into tiny, weak surf. That 1ft stuff on Friday morning is barely a ripple.
The next real standout is Friday the 17th of July. That morning we've got a 7ft south swell with an 8-second period, blowing offshore from the NNW at 3 mph. Combined energy is strong (635). It's clean, but that size with short period is heavy and powerful – for experts only.
The absolute best of the run is Saturday morning, July 18th. That's a 5ft south swell with a long 13-second period. Energy is strong (905) and conditions are glassy with a light NNW breeze. That long period groundswell is gonna produce beautiful, peeling waves along the point.
Sunday the 19th and Monday the 20th both have clean mornings with 3ft south swell and long periods. Energy moderate to strong (355 to 678). Not the size of Saturday, but high quality. Tuesday the 21st morning is also clean with 3ft at a very long 16 seconds.
The clear standout is Saturday morning, July 18th. Clean, solid, long-period south swell. Mark it. Friday the 17th offers size for the experienced crew, and Monday the 6th gives you a nice clean opener.
Rusty.
