The Lowdown

Alright, so let’s break down Praia da Vila through the next couple weeks.

Starting Tuesday the 8th, we’ve got a clean chest-high swell from the SSE, running at 1.4m with a 10-second period. Combined wave energy is a solid 400. The wind is a light cross-offshore from the north at 6 mph, and that’s going to make the sandbars look real pretty. The water temp is about what you’d expect for early September. Tuesday afternoon, the wind picks up from the NE at 15 mph, still offshore, dropping the swell to 1.1m from the south, but staying clean and surfable. Wednesday the 9th is a little fizzier with some onshore breeze and clouds, but waves are still in the 1–1.2m range with moderate energy.

Now Thursday the 10th is a real standout. Morning brings a clean 0.9m SSE groundswell with a 12-second interval, and a light offshore NNE wind at 6 mph. Glassy conditions, really nice. The afternoon bumps up to 1.1m from the south, period stretching to 15 seconds, still offshore at 9 mph. The energy is strong at 687. That is a proper session.

Friday the 11th the swell backs off hard, down to 0.7m in the morning and only 0.6m in the afternoon, with cross-offshore winds picking up. Saturday the 12th we get a jump to 3–3.0m, but the wind goes onshore and cross-onshore—chunky, choppy, and just not fun. Sunday the 13th stays big with 3–3.0m, but only light cross-onshore winds; it’s marginal, and that size is for experts only.

Monday the 14th is another standout. Morning has a 1.2m SE swell at 13 seconds, offshore NE wind at 12 mph, and solid energy at 1053. It’s clean, powerful, and the report calls it excellent for experienced surfers. The afternoon goes to 2.0m but the period drops to 7 seconds, so the shape goes south.

From Tuesday the 15th through Thursday the 17th, quality is down—onshore and cross-onshore winds dominate, with swells mostly between 1.2m and 1.8m. Friday the 18th sees a small improvement with clean 1.2m and offshore wind. Saturday the 19th is the pick of the second week: 2–1.7m from the ENE, short period but clean offshore NNE wind at 9–12 mph. It’s ridable and clean, even if the shape isn’t perfect.

After the 20th, it goes quiet. Swell stays below 1.2m and winds often turn onshore. Tuesday the 22nd afternoon and Wednesday the 23rd morning show a little 0.9m ankle-biter with clean offshore wind, but nothing to get excited about.

If you’re looking to paddle, your best bets are Thursday the 10th and Monday the 14th. The rest is mostly waiting on wind to play nice.

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.
