The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Praia do Porto has in store for us over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, we’ve got a bit of a tease. Tuesday morning, the 14th of July, is looking clean with a glassy 1.8m (6ft) SE swell, a 10-second period, and moderate wave energy (618). The water is much colder than normal for this time of year, sitting at 15° (60°F), so you’ll want a decent wetsuit. That’s it for the good stuff for a while though, because after that, things go quiet.
From Tuesday afternoon right through to the end of Saturday the 18th, the wind is going to be a real problem – mostly onshore or cross-onshore from the north/northeast, gusting up to 25 km/h (16 mph). The swell hangs around, but with that wind, it’s going to be choppy and messy. On Saturday the 18th, the swell bumps up to 2.4m (8ft) NE, but with that wind, it’s just a big, ugly, crumbly mess. Definitely not worth paddling out.
We get a reprieve on Sunday the 19th. The wind swings to the SW and goes glassy, with a clean 1.8m (6ft) ENE swell. That morning session is the one to aim for – clean, fun, and the crowd will be around, but totally worth it. Monday the 20th is also looking very good, with a light offshore wind from the SW, clean 1.8m (6ft) NE swell, and strong wave energy (797). That’s the standout of the first week.
Now, the middle of the week gets a bit average again. Tuesday and Wednesday have some surf, but the wind isn’t great, and the conditions are marginal. By Thursday the 23rd, it’s back to poor surf.
Looking further out, there’s a big pulse of energy coming in around the 26th and 27th of July. It’s a long way off, so keep that in mind, but it’s got potential. On Sunday the 26th, we’re looking at a 2.5m (8ft) S swell, but with a cross-onshore wind, it’s going to be a bit of a battle. The real standout is Monday the 27th afternoon. The wind swings offshore, and we’re looking at a 3.0m (10ft) SSE swell with a very long 13-second period. That’s serious groundswell energy (2625) – a proper event for experienced surfers only. It’s going to be a powerful, clean wave, but on a beach break, that long period might make it a bit straight and walled-up. Tuesday the 28th carries that same clean, offshore energy with a 2.2m (7ft) SE swell and a 13-second period – another excellent day for the experienced crew.
So, to wrap it up: the best windows are the glassy mornings on Sunday the 19th and Monday the 20th for cleaner, fun waves. For the more experienced surfers, the big, clean groundswell on Monday the 27th afternoon and Tuesday the 28th is the real danger zone. Take it easy out there.
Rusty.
