The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down for the local waters.
The water temp is 66°F, pretty normal for this time of year.
The real standouts are going to be Tuesday the 11th and Thursday the 13th. Tuesday morning you’ve got a solid 8ft south swell running with a long 12-second period. The wind is light and offshore, so it’ll be clean. That’s only for experienced surfers – it’s got a lot of energy (1494). Thursday the 13th afternoon is looking glassy – the wind goes dead calm. You’ll have 7ft of south swell with a 13-second period, and it’ll be smooth as a lake. That’s the pick for a more manageable paddle, but still expert-level. Both days have the swell coming from the south, which is ideal for this break.
Prainha do Farol doesn’t fire often, so when the conditions line up, it’s a treat. Crowds can show up sometimes, but mid-week you’ll probably be alright.
Wednesday the 12th is still a good one – about 7ft of south swell (12 seconds) and clean offshore wind. The energy is a bit lower (1130) but still a solid session.
Friday the 14th morning is nice – 6ft south swell with a 14-second period and light offshore wind. Clean and powerful. The afternoon gets a bit messy with a crosswind.
Saturday the 15th morning is smaller – only 4ft, period down to 11 seconds, but the wind is dead calm, glassy. That’s a fun one for a beginner or a relaxing day. Moderate energy (694).
After that, it drops off. Sunday the 16th has some wind-affected 6ft east swell early with a short 8-second period and fresh wind. By the afternoon it’s down to 2ft. Monday and Tuesday are poor, with tiny surf. There’s a small bump on Wednesday the 19th – 5ft south swell, clean conditions – worth a quick look.
Now, looking way ahead to Tuesday the 25th of August, there’s a big pulse coming. The swell is expected to be 8ft from the south with a very long 16-second period, and the energy is massive (3687). But the wind is cross-onshore, so it’ll be a bit choppy. Keep a close eye on that one – if the wind cleans up, it’ll be a day for experts only.
The second week is mostly small, with waves under 5ft and short periods. Not much happening until that far-off 25th.
Bottom line: Tuesday the 11th and Thursday the 13th are your windows. After that, it’s slim pickings until the potential of the 25th.
