The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let's take a look at what's on the table for Praia da Vila.

The start of the outlook is a bit of a slow burner, but there are some real gems later on, especially for the second week. The water is running much colder than normal for this time of year at 59.5°, which is a big anomaly, so definitely bring a thicker wetsuit if you're heading out.

The first proper call to get in the water is Tuesday, July 14th. We've got a solid 5.6 ft SE groundswell with a 10-second period, and the combined energy is moderate (558). The wind is a gentle offshore from the NE, making it clean. This is a classic setup for a fun, punchy wave. It's a great day to get out there.

Wednesday and Thursday see the swell drop right off to 4.3 ft and then 3.3 ft, with cross-offshore winds that aren't terrible, but the conditions are marginal. The energy drops away quickly. It's not a write-off, but nothing to get excited about. Friday is a dead loss with tiny waves.

Then we get a spike. Saturday, July 18th after lunch, the swell bumps up to 7.2 ft from the ENE, with a moderate 9-second period and strong energy (730). The wind is offshore, making for a clean, powerful wave. This is the standout for the first week. It's a bit solid though, so it's more for the experienced crew.

Sunday and Monday are messy with onshore winds, but Monday morning is dead glassy, with a 5.2 ft ENE swell. That glassy condition is a major positive, but the onshore wind on Sunday and the incoming wind Monday afternoon will spoil it.

The next big window opens up on Sunday, July 26th afternoon. We see a 6.9 ft SSE swell with a moderate 8-second period, and the energy is strong (774). The wind is a clean offshore from the NE. This is a proper, powerful, clean wave that will barrel.

The absolute best of the whole run, however, is Monday, July 27th morning. You've got a 6.6 ft E swell, strong energy (838), and a clean offshore wind from the NNE. This is the pick of the entire forecast. The consistency is very consistent, so you won't be waiting long. It's a ripper.

The final week has a couple of interesting days. Tuesday, July 28th afternoon sees a 4.6 ft SSE groundswell with a very long 13-second period, and the energy is massive (917). This kind of long-period swell can be a bit tricky at a beach break, but with offshore winds, it'll have plenty of shape and power. That's a standout for the experts. Wednesday, July 29th morning is similar, with a 4.3 ft SSE swell and a 14-second period, also with massive energy (934). The wind is cross-offshore, but it'll still be a very clean, powerful wave.

The surf is a little inconsistent in the middle of the run, but the forecast is optimistic. The two big standouts are Saturday afternoon, July 18th and Monday morning, July 27th. Get on them.

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.
