Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Praia da Vila. The next couple of weeks are a real mixed bag, with a few clear highlights but plenty of choppy or quiet days to work around.
The water is currently sitting at 60°F, which is a whopping 6°F colder than what you’d expect this time of year. That’s a very unusual cool snap, so definitely suit up properly if you’re heading out.
The week starts off a bit messy. Tuesday and Wednesday morning have some rideable swell, but Tuesday’s got an onshore wind and a marginal vibe. Wednesday morning, the 8th of July, is where things start to look up: 3ft to 4ft of S to ESE swell, with a glassy surface on Wednesday morning. That’s your first real window for a clean session.
Thursday the 9th holds 3ft of ESE swell with a nice offshore wind from the NE through the afternoon. It’s clean but small.
The standout of the whole run, however, is Saturday the 11th of July. Saturday morning delivers 5ft of ESE swell with a 13-second period and a light offshore NNE breeze. The wave energy is solid at 816 – that’s moderate to strong, and the longer period will give you some proper shape. This is the best on offer: clean, pushy, and with that groundswell lining up nicely. Afternoon stays good with 5ft and offshore NE winds.
Sunday the 12th sees a pulse of 6ft from the S by afternoon, with energy jumping to 1118. That’s a lot of juice, but it comes with a cross-shore wind and is probably more for experienced surfers – beginners will find it a handful.
After that, the surf drops off significantly. From the 14th of July onward, we’re into a long stretch of knee-to-waist high waves, mostly under 2ft, with plenty of clean conditions but nothing with any punch. The energy drops to two-digit numbers (like 71 or 56) by mid-week. This flat spell runs until around the 20th.
We do see a bit of a bump around the 20th and 21st of July, with 3ft to 6ft of ENE swell, but the wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and the period is short, under 9 seconds. Conditions look pretty poor for paddling – honestly, with that onshore wind and a beach setup, it might be better suited for kite surfing than a proper surf session.
So, bottom line: Saturday the 11th of July is your day. Get out for the morning session. After that, pick your moments carefully or just enjoy the small clean glass-offs in the middle of the week.
Rusty.
