The Lowdown
Alright, buddy, Rusty here again. Let’s talk about what’s happening at Praia da Vila in the next couple weeks.
The start is a bit sleepy. There’s some swell around, but it’s not really lining up right. The water temp is 65°, which is about normal for this time of year.
Your first decent shot comes on Saturday the 25th. The afternoon is looking good with a 5ft swell from the ESE and a clean offshore wind from the NE. The wave energy is moderate (601), and that offshore breeze is going to keep the waves looking tidy. That’s the pick of the first week.
Sunday the 26th drops off hard. You’re looking at 3ft with a long 12 second period. The energy is low (340). The offshore wind is there in the afternoon, but there’s just not enough size to get excited.
From Monday the 27th through the end of the month, it’s flat. We’re talking 2ft to 2ft. The energy is weak. It’s a longboard or a rest week.
Then, on Friday the 31st of July, there’s a little pulse. The morning is glassy with a 4ft swell from the S. The energy is moderate (310). That’s a clean, quiet session.
But the big daddy is the stretch starting Thursday the 6th of August. Thursday morning has a solid 8ft swell from the ENE with a clean offshore wind. The energy is huge (1240). This is for experts only. The afternoon gets even bigger, hitting 10ft and 1859 energy. That’s serious business.
Friday the 7th of August holds the size, with 8ft in the morning and 7ft in the afternoon, still with clean offshore winds and strong energy (1106).
Saturday the 8th of August is still pumping, with 6ft in the morning and a 5ft S swell in the afternoon. That afternoon has a longer 11 second period and very strong energy (1066). Another excellent option for experienced surfers.
So, the takeaway is: the first week is mostly flat, with the best day being Saturday the 25th and the glassy morning on the 31st. The real standout is the big swell from the 6th to the 8th of August. That’s the one to aim for, but it’s big and for experts.
Rusty.
