Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's shaping up for Praia da Vila. The water's sitting at a chilly 61°, which is a full 5° colder than usual for this time of year – that's very unusual, so you'll want a thick wetsuit. The swell window is open to the SSE, which is right in the sweet spot for this spot.

We've got a bit of a wait for the good stuff. The early part of the outlook is rough, with onshore winds and poor conditions. The first real standout kicks off on Sunday the 5th. That morning, we're looking at 7ft of SSE swell with a nice 11-second period. The wind is glassy – dead calm – so it'll be absolutely clean. The combined swell energy is moderate (1045). This is excellent for experienced surfers; at over 7ft, it's getting a bit too much for beginners.

That Sunday afternoon cleans up even more with offshore winds from the NE at 9 mph, with the swell dropping slightly to a still-chunky 6ft. This is the pick of the first week.

Then we hit a bit of a lull through the start of the second week. The surf hangs around but it’s average. The next real highlight is shaping up for Friday the 17th. Both the morning and afternoon sessions look promising. We've got a clean 5ft to 5ft swell from the SE, with a very long 13-second period. That kind of period means groundswell, better shaped waves, and more energy. The wind is light offshore or cross-offshore, keeping things clean. The combined energy is strong (1148 / 1007), so there’s plenty of push. This is another one for the experienced crew as the swell size is pushing the limit for beginners. Crowds can be an issue here at times, so get in early.

Overall, the standout sessions are clearly Sunday the 5th and Friday the 17th. The rest of the period has some surfable waves, but those two windows are where it all comes together.

That's the story from here.

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.

Praia da Vila is 1 km (1 miles) from Imbituba. If you plan a holiday in Santa Catarina - Sul, look for hotels and other accommodation in Imbituba. Imbituba has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
