Updates in  hr  min  s Forecast update imminent

Alright, let’s talk about what’s coming up for Praia da Vila. It’s a sandbar break that’s very consistent and likes a south-easterly swell. The water’s sitting at 61°F, which is a good 5°F colder than normal – so it’s noticeably chilly, you’ll want a solid wetsuit.

The first decent chance to surf isn’t until Sunday morning, July 5th. There’s a 7ft south swell with an 11-second period, and the wind turns glassy out of the north-east. That’s clean, smooth, and the energy is moderate at 984. It’s an intermediate-plus wave, so the size is manageable.

Sunday afternoon is even better. The swell drops to 6ft from the SSE, but the wind goes offshore from the north-east at 9 mph. That’s clean, lined-up surf with 801 of energy. That’s the standout of the early week.

Monday morning, July 6th, still has some fun 4ft waves from the south-east, but the wind is cross-offshore. Clean enough, but not as good as the day before. The energy is moderate at 601.

After that, it goes flat and messy. The next real highlight doesn’t come until a week later, on Saturday, July 11th. By the afternoon, a longer-period 4ft south-easterly groundswell (13 seconds) meets glassy conditions – that’s a beautiful window, with 724 of energy.

The absolute best of the whole forecast is Sunday morning, July 12th. The swell pushes to 5ft from the ESE, still a solid 13-second period, and the wind is glassy again. The energy hits 1072 – that’s strong. It’s excellent quality, but this size and period will be too much for beginners. For experienced surfers, it’s the one to aim for.

The rest of the second week drops off. A few small, clean mornings around 3ft, but nothing special. By Thursday, July 16th, a new 8ft south swell arrives, but it’s hammered by onshore south-west winds and short 8-second periods – that’s a choppy, blown-out mess, better for kites than paddling.

So, lock in Sunday July 5th and Sunday July 12th. The 12th is the real winner if you’ve got the skill.

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.
