The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s look at what’s coming up for Praia da Baleia over the next couple of weeks. It’s a bit of a slow burner, but there are a few windows that’ll get you smiling.
The water is sitting at 70°, which is about a degree warmer than usual for this time of year – feels nice, a bit of a bonus.
We’ve got a long stretch of small, average surf to start. Friday the 24th and Saturday the 25th are pretty weak with messy, light cross-shore breezes and waves around 4ft, but the energy is low (205 to 330) and the quality is just not there. It’s a bit frustrating.
Sunday the 26th is the first real highlight. The morning looks absolute glass: clean, no wind, and a solid groundswell rolling in from the south at 3ft with a long 14-second period. The combined energy is strong (403). That long period means the waves will have real shape and power, but it might be a bit too straight for the beach break – it’ll be best wrapping around the point. This is easily the best session of the first week.
Monday the 27th through to the end of July is small and mostly ordinary. There are some glassy mornings on the 27th, 28th, and 31st, but the swell is tiny (2ft to 2ft) and the energy is weak. It’s more of a longboard or cruise session than anything exciting.
The next standout is a beauty way out there on Monday the 3rd of August. The morning shows a glassy, clean 3ft south swell with a very long 15-second period. The energy is pumping (416). For a point break setup, that’s as good as it gets in this window – long, lined-up waves. It’s a long-range call, so keep your fingers crossed.
Tuesday the 4th of August morning is also worth a mention. Glassy conditions again, with a 4ft south swell and a 12-second period. The energy is solid (341). It’s a great follow-up session.
Beyond that, the middle of the first week of August drops off again. Small, weak swells with short periods, mostly below 3ft. There’s a bit of a pulse on the 8th of August from the west-southwest, but it’s only 3ft and a 5-second period, which is just sloppy.
If you’re a beginner, Sunday the 26th and Monday the 3rd of August are your best bet – the waves are small enough to be fun, but the quality is high. Experts will want to hit that long-period swell on the 3rd of August for the best lines.
The crowds are listed as “sometimes” at Praia da Baleia, so don’t expect to be alone on those good days, but it’s not a circus.
