The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here, with a look at what Prainha do Farol has in store for us. This spot is a bit of a tricky one, so let's get into it.
We're looking at a patchy run of surf over the next couple of weeks. The first few days are a write-off with tiny, poor-quality waves. We’ve got a real gap of nothing much until things start looking up. The water is sitting at 65°, which is about normal for this time of year.
The first real glimmer of hope comes on the morning of Friday, the 24th. We've got a 7ft swell coming from the SE with moderate energy (758), and while the wind is light and cross-shore, it's still only considered marginal. Not a standout, but it's the first sign of life.
Honestly, the best bet in this whole window looks like Sunday morning, the 26th. We're looking at a 3ft S swell, but the period is a solid 12 seconds, giving it some real grunt and shape, with energy at 545. The wind is a light NNE cross-offshore, so it’ll be clean. The report says "very good surf conditions." This is the one to circle. It’s not huge, but the quality should be there, and the winds will be kind. Keep in mind this break can be inconsistent, so don't be surprised if you have to wait a bit for the sets.
After that, Monday the 27th morning also looks clean with a cross-off breeze and a 3ft ESE swell, which is surfable. Conditions take a dip again mid-week, but then we see another promising window kick off on Sunday, August 2nd. That morning is looking glassy with a 4ft S swell and moderate energy (400), a proper clean session on offer. Monday the 3rd and Tuesday the 4th mornings also have a clean 5ft to 5ft swell on the cards.
The very last day, Thursday, August 6th, starts off with a glassy 3ft ESE swell, which could be a nice, clean session to finish the period. Overall, it’s a patchy outlook, but the 26th of July is the standout. The long-range stuff on August 2nd and 3rd looks promising, but you know how it is with forecasts that far out – keep an eye on it.
Stay stoked,
Rusty
