Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Alright, let’s talk about Praia da Vila over the next couple weeks.
We start off rough, mate. Friday the 3rd brings a 10 ft south swell, but with a strong onshore wind, it’s just blown out. The combined energy is hammering at 1590, but the quality is poor. Not worth paddling out.
The real standout—the one to circle—is Sunday morning, July 5th. We’ve got a clean 7 ft south swell, 11-second period, and the wind goes glassy—light and variable from the WNW at just 3 mph. The water temp is about average for this time of year. The combined energy (1024) is moderate to strong, but the wave quality is excellent for experienced surfers. If you’re a beginner, that’s a bit over 5 ft, so it’s going to be too big for you.
Sunday afternoon keeps it clean with a 6 ft SSE swell and a light offshore breeze from the NE at 9 mph. That’s fun, clean surf, though the energy drops to 822.
Monday the 6th drops way down—2 ft to 3 ft—but the wind stays manageable. It’s small, with combined energy between 507 and 340. Fine for a longboard.
Then we hit a long gap. From Tuesday the 7th all the way to Tuesday the 14th, there’s hardly any quality. The swell is small to moderate, but the wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, often blowing 12 to 18 mph. Combined energy stays low to moderate. Nothing to rush for.
Around Wednesday the 15th, things start looking up again. That morning brings a 6 ft south swell with glassy, light wind. The combined energy is 449—clean and rideable. Thursday the 16th morning is another strong one: 5 ft south swell, 11-second period, glassy, and combined energy at 671. That’s a proper session.
Friday the 17th keeps the good run going with 4 ft to 4 ft south swell, clean offshore winds, and combined energy around 500 to 586. Great for experienced surfers.
Saturday the 18th shows some potential further out: a 6 ft south swell with a long 14-second period, but the wind turns onshore. The energy is high at 1582, but quality might be iffy. Keep an eye on it.
Overall, Sunday the 5th is your best call—glassy, solid south swell, and clean. Thursday the 16th morning is a close second. Expect crowds at Praia da Vila—it’s “sometimes” busy, but on a day like that, it’s worth it.
Stay salty.

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.

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.
