Hey, Rusty here again. Let’s break down the same forecast for Praia da Vila, but in feet and miles for the land-locked or old-school crew.
We’ve got a slow cooker of a forecast, but there’s a couple of sizzling days if you know when to look.
Monday the 13th is a total dud. A 6-7ft S swell is rolling in, but the period is a short 8 seconds and the wind is a cross-onshore mess. The water’s all torn up with moderate wave energy (1089). Don’t even bother. The afternoon is just as bad with a 6ft swell and the wind getting worse.
Tuesday the 14th is the first real winner. Morning goes glassy with a light breeze, and that 6ft SE swell has a better 10 second period. The wave energy is moderate (614), but the clean surface makes it feel way better. Expect some company in the water. The afternoon stays clean with an offshore wind. This is your first call.
From Wednesday the 15th through the weekend, the swell drops to chest-high and under (3-4ft). Winds stay clean or offshore, but it’s small. Wave energy drops into the low hundreds to almost nothing. Not worth the walk.
Monday the 20th brings a fun waist-to-chest high 5ft ENE swell. The morning is dead calm – glassy, no wind. The afternoon has a light offshore breeze. This is a solid, fun day with moderate energy (335).
Tuesday and Wednesday (21st-22nd) get onshore winds and some rain. Surfable, but ugly.
Thursday the 23rd cleans up again with offshore winds. Swell is knee-to-waist high (3ft) from the SSE with an 11 second period. Low energy (263), but clean.
Now, the real standout. Saturday the 25th. Put this one on your calendar. The morning is glassy with a 7ft S swell and a 10 second period. The wave energy is very strong (1549) – there’s a ton of power. This is the best session of the entire forecast. The afternoon mimics it with a light offshore wind and the swell dipping to just under 7ft. This is for experienced surfers only – 7ft is not for the faint of heart.
Sunday the 26th is a mess. The swell jumps to 8ft from the SSE with a long 14 second period. The energy is huge (2560), but the onshore wind turns it into a choppy, ugly beast. Only for the crazy crew.
The final days, Monday the 27th and Tuesday the 28th, settle down. Monday has clean 4ft SSE swell with offshore winds – a very good day. Tuesday morning is tiny at 2ft, but that’s a long-period 15 second groundswell with strong offshore wind. It’ll have some surprising punch on the right banks.
Bottom line: Saturday the 25th is the one to chase. Tuesday the 14th and Monday the 20th are your solid backups.
Stay frosty.
Rusty.

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.
