Table - best surf conditions forecast for Praia do Futuro over the next 16 days.
G’day, I’m Rusty. Look, I’ll be straight with you – this outlook for the next sixteen days is a tough one. I’ve got the one spot, Praia do Futuro, and the whole run is a write-off. There’s no surf worth paddling out for. Every single entry in the forecast says “poor surf conditions,” and the scores are all zeroes. The wind is a constant issue – cross-on or cross-shore breeze from the ESE or SE all day, every day, at 12 to 15 mph. That’s chopping everything up. The swell is tiny, between 3 ft and 5 ft, with a short period of just 5 to 7 seconds – that’s weak, wind-affected junk. The combined wave energy is weak to moderate, ranging from 62 to 209 – nothing to get excited about. The water’s sitting at 82°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so at least you won’t need a spring suit for the paddle of shame.
The first recommendation is on Thursday, July 9th, but it’s a no-go. The pattern doesn’t change. There’s a gap of silence here – no real surf on offer for the entire 16 days. For a spot like this, which is consistent, a blank run like this is unusual, but it’s what we’ve got. The swell direction is mostly from the E or ENE, but the optimum swell direction for the break is NE, so it’s not even lining up well. Honestly, with the wind and the small, weak swell, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. There’s no standout session, no hidden gem. The forecast is reliable for the near term, and it’s clear – leave the boards at home. Rusty.
