Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it for Prainha do Farol.

We’ve got a run of surf ahead, but it’s a mixed bag with some real nice windows if you play your cards right. The water is a chilly 60°, which is a massive 6° colder than normal for this time of year, so definitely factor in a thick wetsuit, maybe boots.

The first decent look is Monday morning, 06 July. We’ve got a clean 2ft SSE swell running on a long 18-second period. That’s proper groundswell energy, and with a light cross-offshore breeze from the NNE, it’ll be glassy and good. The combined energy is solid at 711 (moderate). The catch is that Prainha do Farol is exposed, so this long-period swell might make it a bit straight at the beach, but it’s a fun, clean beginner wave.

From there, things get a bit messy and lumpy through the rest of the week with afternoon onshores and choppy conditions. The morning sessions are your only hope.

Wednesday morning, 08 July, looks like another clean one. Offshore NW wind at 3 mph, with 4ft SSW swell at 9 seconds (moderate energy at 457). That’s a nice size, clean, and should offer some fun little runners.

Friday morning, 10 July, sees a clean 3ft ESE swell with a 12-second period. Very light WNW wind. It’s a good window, calm and clean, with moderate energy (323). Not the biggest, but the conditions will be sweet.

Now, the standout of the whole outlook is Saturday morning, 11 July. We’ve got 5ft of ESE swell with a 13-second period, and the wind is a clean cross-offshore from the NNE at 9 mph. The combined energy is a strong 851, meaning there’s some proper push in the water. This is the best on offer for the whole period – good size, clean conditions, and grunty groundswell. Paddling out will be easier with those longer lulls between sets.

The following week is a bit more of a struggle. The energy drops off, and the wind swings around a lot. Tuesday morning, 14 July, has a clean 4ft SSE swell at 10 seconds with a cross-offshore breeze. That’s worth a look.

Sunday morning, 19 July, is a write-off with onshore wind and short period windswell. You get a small clean window on Monday morning, 20 July, but the swell is 4ft S at a very long 15 seconds (moderate energy at 789). That long period at a beach break can be tricky, wrapping past the banks.

The best cleanest surf in the final stretch is Tuesday morning, 21 July, and Tuesday afternoon, 21 July. Both have 3ft to 3ft S swell at around 11-12 seconds, with light cross-offshore NE winds. Clean, small, and user-friendly.

Overall, Saturday morning, 11 July is the pick of the bunch. If you’re a beginner, the Monday morning 06 July window is your safest bet with the smaller 2ft swell. Don’t expect much from the afternoons, and definitely don’t expect it to be warm.

Rusty.

Information about the Prainha do Farol Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Prainha do Farol provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Prainha do Farol can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Prainha do Farol 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. If you surf the same spot (Prainha do Farol) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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 Prainha do Farol 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.
