The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's take a look at what's cooking for Praia da Vila over the next couple of weeks.
Water temp is about normal for this time of year, sitting around 66°F. The week starts slow, but there's fun to be had if you pick the right times.
Saturday the 25th is the one to circle. We've got a clean 5ft swell out of the SE, and the morning is looking glassy with a light NW breeze at 3 mph. Wave energy is moderate (337). That morning session is a real standout.
Sunday the 26th drops to 3ft, but the period stretches out to 12 seconds, giving it some real grunt. The wind is a cross-off from the N at 9 mph. The afternoon goes offshore, so clean conditions.
Monday the 27th is small—just under 2ft—and glassy in the morning. Surfable but nothing special. Tuesday the 28th is a washout with onshore wind. Wednesday and Thursday are marginal. There's a bit of a lull until...
Friday the 31st of July brings a pulse. 4ft swell from the S with an 11-second period, light offshore wind in the morning, and solid moderate wave energy (368). Good, clean fun.
The first weekend of August is mixed. Saturday morning is clean but windy, and the swell is dropping. Sunday is small again. Nothing to get stoked about.
Then, the real standout is Wednesday the 5th of August. We're looking at a solid 7ft swell from the E, 9-second period, and the morning is forecast glassy. Wave energy is strong (689). That's a serious step up. Not for beginners, but for experienced surfers, this is the best window. The swell direction is spot on.
Thursday the 6th keeps the size around 6ft to 6ft with good offshore winds in the morning. Friday the 7th is still fun at 5ft. Saturday the 8th holds at 5ft to 6ft with offshore winds. Then Sunday the 9th of August morning is glassy again with 6ft swell and lots of energy (606). That's another real highlight, but the afternoon gets choppy, so get in early.
Best on offer is Saturday the 25th for clean, fun waves, and Wednesday the 5th for the biggest, most powerful clean surf. The long-range stuff looks promising, but we'll see how it shapes up.
Rusty, signing off.

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.

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.
