The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what Praia da Baleia has cooking over the next couple of weeks.
We’re waking up to a pretty flat spell, so don’t even bother waxing up for the next few days. The first real chance to get wet doesn’t show up until Saturday morning, the 1st of August. The water temp is sitting at 70°, which feels a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – a bit of a bonus.
The standout session, and the one I’d circle on the calendar, is Saturday morning, August 1st. It’s not big, with waves around 4ft from the east, but it’s clean, glassy, and the energy is moderate (365). The period is short at 7 seconds, so it’ll be a bit soft and crumbly, but for a beginner-friendly spot, it’s about as good as it gets. With the glassy conditions, you’ll be surfing solo, though crowds are possible here.
After that, things get a bit ordinary again. Sunday morning the 2nd has a small, clean 3ft wave from the ESE with light offshore wind, but it’s pretty weak. The next real highlight doesn’t come until Saturday afternoon, August 8th. That session sees a clean 5ft swell from the SSE, combined with glassy conditions, and moderate energy (363). It’s a solid, fun size for the break, and the clean conditions will make it feel a lot better than the numbers suggest.
Looking further out, the surf starts to get more interesting around the 10th and 11th of August. The swell ramps up, with a big pulse of energy on Monday afternoon the 10th – a 5ft south swell, but with a very long period of 14 seconds. That brings strong energy (1021), which is a lot for this spot. The period is long, so it’ll be a proper groundswell, but the wind is onshore, making it a bit messy. The morning of the 11th is still bumpy, but then Tuesday afternoon, August 11th, is a beauty. The swell drops to 4ft from the south, still with a solid 11-second period, and the wind goes glassy. The energy is strong (504), and the conditions are set to be very good. That’s your second standout for the more experienced surfer.
Wednesday the 12th also looks promising, with a glassy 3ft south swell and a long period of 13 seconds, packing strong energy (624). After that, the swell drops off fast, and we’re back to small, glassy but weak waves through the end of the forecast.
Rusty out.
