The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here, checking the surf feed for Praia da Vila. The beginning of the period is a bit of a struggle. We’ve got a lot of onshore wind and generally messy conditions for the first week. It’s not going to be worth paddling out until that clears.

The first real chance for a decent session is on Tuesday, September 8th. The morning brings a light northeasterly breeze that’s cross-offshore, cleaning up a 1.5m swell from the SSE. The wave energy is moderate (407). It won’t be the biggest day, but it’ll be clean and fun for intermediate surfers.

The real prize starts on Sunday, September 13th. That morning we’ve got a 1.9m southerly swell and a light northeasterly cross-offshore wind, making for glassy conditions. The energy is moderate (962) and it’s shaping up to be a great day. The water temp is around 66°, which is about normal for the season.

The following Monday and Tuesday, the 14th and 15th, are the peak of the run. Clean, cross-offshore winds will hold, with 1-1.4m southerly swells and solid periods between 11 and 12 seconds. That’s proper groundswell with good shape and power. The wave energy will be in the moderate range (480-621). These are the standout days. Crowds are a possibility, so don’t expect to have the place to yourself, but the quality will be worth sharing the lineup.

The tail end of the forecast gets messy again with more onshore wind, so lock in that middle of the second week. The 13th through the 15th are your best bets by a long shot.

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.
