The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s cookin’ for Praia da Vila over the next couple of weeks.
Well, we’re in for a bit of a mixed bag, but there’s definitely some solid windows to get wet. The first real action worth paddling out for kicks off on Wednesday, 22 July. It’s a slow start to the morning with some light rain and a cross-off breeze, but don’t let that fool ya. The afternoon is where it’s at – the wind goes glassy, and the swell is a clean 4 ft from the ENE. Combined energy is a moderate 266, so you’ll feel some push. That’s gonna be a beautiful, glassy session.
Now, Thursday the 23rd is a bit of a write-off with onshore winds and a big, messy swell. The real standout is coming up on Friday morning, 24 July. The wind is glassy again, swell is a solid 7 ft from the SSE, with a period of 10 seconds – that’s proper groundswell energy. The combined energy hits a strong 787, so there’s plenty of grunt. This is a sandbar, so that long period at 10 seconds will actually shape up real nice. This is your best bet for the whole run. The water temp is 66°F, which is bang on average for this time of year, no surprises there.
Saturday morning, 25 July, is still looking good with glassy conditions and a fun 5 ft from the SE. But the arvo gets chopped up by a cross-on wind. Sunday the 26th is another sweet spot, with offshore winds and a solid 3 ft swell from the S at a very long 12 seconds. That’s proper groundswell, and it’ll push through with some serious energy (559). The waves will be clean and lined up.
After that, the surf drops off. Monday the 27th and Tuesday the 28th are small but clean, with 3 ft and 3 ft respectively. It’s surfable but not firing. Then we hit a real lull. From Wednesday the 29th right through to Saturday the 1st of August, it’s mostly small, weak, or blown out. There’s a gap of about 4 days where it’s pretty ordinary.
It picks up again on Sunday, 2 August. The afternoon turns glassy with a 5 ft swell from the S. That’s a solid combo. Then Monday, 3 August, is a full day of clean conditions with offshore winds and a consistent 4 ft to 5 ft swell from the SSE/SE. Energy is moderate (436-464). That’s a good run.
The last week gets a bit messy again. Tuesday the 4th is onshore, Wednesday the 5th has strong offshore winds (15 mph) but the swell is dropping. Thursday the 6th starts glassy with a clean 4 ft from the ESE, but the arvo is cross-on. So, if you’re planning ahead, lock in the 24th of July for the best waves, and keep an eye on the 26th of July and the 2nd and 3rd of August as solid backup days.
Rusty, signing off.

Information about the Praia da Vila Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Praia da Vila provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Praia da Vila can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Praia da Vila surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Praia da Vila) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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 Vila 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.
