The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here with the lowdown for Praia da Vila.
We’re looking at a slow start with weak, small surf hanging around for the first few days. From Monday the 27th through the end of July, most sets are running a tiny 2ft to 2ft. The combined energy is weak, mostly between 115 and 268 – nothing to get excited about. Water temp is a pleasant 65°F, totally normal for this time of year.
There’s a small bright spot on Wednesday the 29th morning. The wind goes dead glassy, and the swell holds at about 2ft from the South with a 12-second period, bumping the energy to 202. The call is "expect good surf conditions". It’s small, but it’s clean.
The big standout comes much later. Friday the 7th of August afternoon is the one to aim for. We see a clean 4ft swell from the South, but the period stretches to 11 seconds, and the energy jumps to 569 – the strongest reading of the whole run. Winds are offshore from the NE at 15 mph. The forecast calls for "expect very good surf conditions". That’s your session. A bit too much for beginners, but perfect for anyone with a bit of experience.
Before that, Tuesday the 4th and Wednesday the 5th of August offer some fun, clean waves around 3ft to 4ft, with offshore winds and solid energy (286-319). Not the big standout, but good for a weekday paddle.
After the 7th, it drops off quickly. Saturday the 8th looks marginal, and by Sunday the 9th we’re back to tiny, weak surf. Late in the window, around the 10th and 11th, we get small 3ft east-northeast windswell with short periods. Glassy mornings might be worth it for a beginner, but it’s nothing special.
So, plan around that Friday the 7th of August afternoon – that’s your best bet for a proper session.
Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at Praia da Vila can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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.
