Alright, let’s switch it up for the imperial crowd.
We’re looking at Praia da Vila, a classic sandbar. Water temp here is 62°F, which is about 5°F colder than what you’d usually expect this time of year – that’s a significant dip, so don’t even think about a thin wetsuit.
First real action kicks off Sunday the 5th. Morning brings a glassy, clean 7ft S swell, period at 11 seconds. The combined swell energy is at 984 (moderate) – plenty of push. This is the kind of morning you call in sick for. By the afternoon, a gentle offshore breeze picks up from the NE, swell drops a touch to 6ft, still super clean.
Monday the 6th keeps the stoke going in the AM – 4ft SE swell, 10-second period, clean cross-off wind. Energy’s down to 590 (moderate). The afternoon goes onshore and rainy – head for a coffee instead.
Tuesday the 7th is a dud – onshore bump and short period swell. Not worth it.
Wednesday the 8th is a solid rebound. Light offshore breeze, 4ft S groundswell at 11 seconds – great shape. Energy at 500 (moderate). Good morning session.
Thursday the 9th and Friday the 10th are weak – 2ft waves. Longboard territory on Thursday’s clean mornings, but it’s low energy.
Now, look to Saturday the 11th. The afternoon is promising – 4ft ESE swell with a long 13-second period, clean cross-off breeze, energy building to 675 (moderate).
The absolute standout is Sunday the 12th. Dead calm glass all day. Morning has 6ft SSE groundswell at 12 seconds with energy at 1524 (strong). Afternoon is 5ft at 12 seconds, energy 1024 (strong). This is for experienced surfers – those waves have some real weight behind them and long set gaps.
The next week goes quiet until Friday the 17th. Morning glass, 4ft SE swell, 11-second period, energy 486 (moderate). Afternoon adds a gentle offshore with 5ft SSE – a solid day.
Saturday the 18th gets messy. But Sunday the 19th goes huge: 10ft SSE groundswell in the morning with 16-second period (energy 4045, very strong), jumping to 12ft S swell in the afternoon (energy 9130, extremely strong). Onshore wind makes it a wild, choppy beast – only for the hardcore.
The second week’s standout is Monday the 20th. Morning light offshore, 8ft SSE groundswell at 14 seconds, energy 2119 (strong). Clean and powerful. Afternoon stays offshore with a moderate breeze, 7ft SSE at 13 seconds, energy 1438 (strong). Get on it early for the best of the long-range window.
Crowds will be an issue at the quality windows – it’s a known spot.
Best bets:
- Sunday 5th morning and Sunday 12th – absolute glass, perfect conditions.
- Monday 20th – the promising long-range call.

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.
