The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s see what’s cookin’ for Praia da Vila.
The first few days are a bust, with choppy onshore slop. The real deal starts to shape up from next Tuesday, the 11th of August, and that’s where the magic is.
The big winner is Tuesday, the 11th of August. The morning is dead flat calm, glassy as a mirror, and a solid 6ft south swell rolls in with a long 12-second period. The combined energy is strong (1083), and it’s pristine – perfect for the experienced crew. The afternoon stays glassy with a light shower, and the swell holds steady. That’s the one.
Wednesday the 12th keeps the good times rollin’ with a light offshore breeze out of the NNE, cleaning up the 6ft to 5ft south swell. Energy is moderate (983 and 733), and the waves have shape.
Thursday the 13th starts a bit smaller with a cross-off breeze, but the afternoon turns glassy again with a 5ft south swell at 14 seconds. Real clean.
The weekend of the 15th and 16th has some fun windows. Saturday morning the 15th brings a light offshore and 5ft of south swell, clean. Sunday the 16th gets a bit bumpy with a short period east swell, but the wind is cross-off.
The second week, from the 18th of August, looks promising for the hardcore. Tuesday the 18th has a solid 8ft east-northeast swell with a moderate offshore wind – that’s big, experts only. Conditions are clean, with strong energy (1129). Wednesday the 19th still has a 7ft, with a light offshore in the morning. Energy stays moderate.
Then the swell drops off a cliff. By the 22nd and 23rd of August, it’s tiny – 2ft to 1ft, with weak energy (less than 105). Wind is clean, but there’s nothing to ride.
Bottom line: Tuesday the 11th of August is your day. Get out there for glassy, long-period south swell with real power. The rest of the week has good pockets, but that Tuesday is the standout.
Rusty.

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.
