The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here. I’m looking at the next couple of weeks and it’s a tough one to call good news. Honestly, there’s a serious dry spell coming for this stretch of coast.
We’re talking about Praia do Futuro, and from August 23rd all the way through to September 7th, the surf is just a no-go. The wind is the main culprit – it’s hammering from the east and southeast, mostly cross-onshore, at 12 to 18 mph, and it’s killing any chance of a clean wave. The swell is running from 3ft to 6ft, but it’s short-period, mostly 6 to 7 seconds, from the east or east-northeast. That’s not the right direction for this break, and the energy is weak, with readings between 83 and 363. It’s a choppy, lumpy, messy mess out there. The water is a warm 81°, which is about average for this time of year.
Every single session in the forecast is marked as "poor surf conditions." There’s no hidden gem, no window where the wind lays down or the swell turns. For a spot that usually gets waves, this is a real buzzkill, but it happens. It’s a total blank run. With the steady cross-onshore breeze and these weak, mushy waves, this setup is looking a lot more fun for kite surfing than for paddle surfing. You’re better off finding something else to do.
Rusty.
