The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, checking the surf feed for Praia da Vila. The beginning of the period is a bit of a struggle. We’ve got a lot of onshore wind and generally messy conditions for the first week. It’s not going to be worth paddling out until that clears.
The first real chance for a decent session is on Tuesday, September 8th. The morning brings a light northeasterly breeze that’s cross-offshore, cleaning up a 1.5m swell from the SSE. The wave energy is moderate (407). It won’t be the biggest day, but it’ll be clean and fun for intermediate surfers.
The real prize starts on Sunday, September 13th. That morning we’ve got a 1.9m southerly swell and a light northeasterly cross-offshore wind, making for glassy conditions. The energy is moderate (962) and it’s shaping up to be a great day. The water temp is around 66°, which is about normal for the season.
The following Monday and Tuesday, the 14th and 15th, are the peak of the run. Clean, cross-offshore winds will hold, with 1-1.4m southerly swells and solid periods between 11 and 12 seconds. That’s proper groundswell with good shape and power. The wave energy will be in the moderate range (480-621). These are the standout days. Crowds are a possibility, so don’t expect to have the place to yourself, but the quality will be worth sharing the lineup.
The tail end of the forecast gets messy again with more onshore wind, so lock in that middle of the second week. The 13th through the 15th are your best bets by a long shot.
Rusty.
