The Lowdown
Alright, mate, Rusty here. Let me tell you a bit about what’s cookin’ over the next couple of weeks for the Vila. It’s a bit of a mixed bag, not gonna lie.
We’ve got a real nice pulse of southern groundswell comin’ in to kick things off. Tuesday the 25th into the start of September is where the meat of it is. The standout here is definitely Wednesday the 26th. That morning, the swell is a solid 8 ft from the SSE at 14 seconds, and that’s a proper groundswell with some real grunt. The combined energy is strong (2152). The wind is light and cross-offshore from the NNE, so the wave faces will be clean. This is the best on offer for an experienced surfer. It might be a bit much for beginners though, with the swell over 5 ft.
The water temp is about average for the time of year in this spot.
Tuesday the 25th is also a good entry point, with 6 ft S swell and glassy North wind at 3 mph in the morning. That light offshore makes for some silky conditions. The afternoon breeze picks up but stays clean.
Things start to drop off by Friday the 28th, with swell fading down to 2 ft. The next few days after that get a bit ugly. Saturday the 29th and Sunday the 30th see the swell direction shifting to the ENE, coming in at a shorter period of 9 seconds. The wind gets onshore or cross-onshore, and the quality takes a dive. There’s a gap of poor conditions for a few days there.
We get another chance from the 2nd of September. Wednesday the 2nd looks promising – clean, glassy morning with 6 ft S swell at 10 seconds (moderate energy at 685). The winds are dead calm to offshore in the afternoon. That’s a good session for someone looking for a clean ride.
The tail end of the forecast around the 8th of September also has some potential. Tuesday the 8th afternoon looks like another mini-standout: 6 ft ENE swell at 10 seconds with light offshore winds at 6 mph. The combined energy is moderate (703), and it all lines up for some fun, clean waves.
Overall, the first few days are the real deal. Grab it while it’s good, because there are some lulls in between.
