The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what we've got coming up for Prainha do Farol over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, it's a bit of a slow start. The first few days are looking pretty flat and messy, so don't bother paddling out just yet. We've got a bit of a wait on our hands before anything worthwhile shows up.
The real standout action is shaping up for Monday, August 31st, in the morning. The ocean is going to be absolutely pumping with a solid 10ft swell rolling in from the ESE. The energy is massive, we're talking a combined energy of 1101, so it's powerful stuff. The wind is a cross-shore breeze, which is manageable, but listen – this is a beginner break and 10ft is way too big for anyone but the most experienced crew. It's a true expert-only session. The water is sitting at 63°F, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, so a good 4/3 is a must.
After that big Monday, the swell drops back but stays solid. If you missed the big one, Tuesday, September 8th, in the morning is your next best bet. We're looking at a clean 7ft swell from the SSE with a longer period of 11 seconds, giving it some real grunt and shape. The wind is a light cross-offshore breeze, making for some clean walls. The combined energy is a strong 969. This is a great, more manageable size for a broader range of surfers, but it's still a solid overhead day.
The only other little window that might be worth a look is Saturday, September 12th, in the morning. It's a smaller day with 5ft from the east, but the wind is glassy, and the energy is a moderate 267. It'll be clean, but pretty average compared to the other days. Just keep an eye on the crowds, as this spot can get a bit busy.
Overall, the first week is a write-off, but that second week has one or two proper days to get excited about. The big Monday the 31st is the one for the hard chargers, but for the rest of us, Tuesday the 8th is looking like the pick of the bunch.
Rusty.
