The Lowdown
Alright, let me break down what’s coming for Praia da Vila.
Today’s a dud. Monday afternoon has a weak 4ft swell from the SSE with a cross-onshore breeze, and the water’s sitting at 59°F, which is nearly 7°F colder than normal for this time of year. That’s a big chill. Not worth getting wet.
Tuesday morning is still a bit messy with cross-shore wind and a moderate 6ft SE swell, but the afternoon cleans up. Tuesday afternoon the wind shifts offshore from the NE at 9 mph, and we’ve got a clean 6ft SE swell with solid energy. That’ll be a fun session.
Wednesday is okay but nothing special. Clean waves around 4ft with cross-off winds in the morning, offshore in the afternoon but windier. Surfable.
Thursday and Friday drop off – waves under 3ft, weak energy. Saturday morning bumps to 7ft from the ENE with a short 8-second period. Not terrible, but it’ll be a bit fat.
Here’s when it gets good. Sunday afternoon (19th) goes glassy – almost no wind, 5ft ENE swell. Clean as a whistle.
Monday the 20th brings offshore winds again, with the afternoon being the pick – 5ft ENE swell, offshore breeze at 16 mph, good energy.
The big standout is Wednesday the 22nd of July. Wednesday morning is glassy, with an 8ft swell from the south, 10-second period, and massive energy. That’s a serious swell – definitely for experienced surfers only. The water’s flat calm, direction is perfect.
Thursday the 23rd morning is also a gem – 6ft from the south, 12-second period, offshore wind at 12 mph. That’s long-period groundswell with clean offshore wind. Beautiful.
Sunday the 26th is another big one. Both the morning and afternoon have 8ft ENE swell, morning glassy, afternoon with gentle offshore wind. Big and clean.
So, the ones to circle – Wednesday the 22nd, Thursday the 23rd, and Sunday the 26th. Those are the heavy hitters. Wednesday the 22nd is a beast – only for the experienced crew.
