The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk surf.
Water temp’s 62°F – a bit cooler than average for September by about 3°F, so don’t forget the booties.
The first real highlight doesn’t come until Thursday, September 17th. You’ve got a 5ft south swell rolling in, and the wind goes offshore from the north-northeast in the morning. The waves will be clean and have some push. Praia da Vila looks tidy. The afternoon bumps up to 5ft from the south with a stronger offshore breeze – still a good call.
Friday the 18th is smaller, around 4ft, but stays clean with gentle offshore winds. Nothing huge, just fun little waves.
Now, the big one lands on Sunday, September 20th. Swell hits 8ft from the east-northeast, with a period of 9 seconds and a ton of energy – well over 1000 in the combined reading. Winds are offshore from the north-northeast all day, so expect clean, powerful lines. This one is for the experienced crew only. Best day of the outlook by far.
Monday the 21st still has some size at 7ft from the east-northeast, glassy in the morning and easing into the afternoon. Very good conditions.
After that, it fades. Tuesday the 22nd is around 4ft and still clean, but the energy is dropping fast. By the 26th, you’re looking at flat, choppy junk under 2ft.
There’s another little pulse Thursday the 24th with 4ft south swell and offshore winds – clean, but nothing special compared to the 20th.
So here’s the call: Sunday the 20th is your day. 8ft, offshore, clean, and packing a punch. Thursday the 17th is a solid runner-up.
Rusty.

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).
