Right, folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s on offer for Santa Maria de Oia.
Alright, straight up – the next 16 days are looking pretty grim for a proper paddle. We’ve got a lot of weak, short-period wind swell and the wind is almost always in the wrong spot. The water is 64°F, which is spot on average for this time of year.
The first real chance of a wave isn’t until Saturday, July 11th, and even then, it’s a messy one. The swell picks up to 4ft from the NW with a short, choppy period of 6 seconds, but a fresh N wind at 16 mph is blowing straight across it, making it a choppy, lumpy mess. The energy is moderate (152), but the quality is just poor. That afternoon it gets worse – 5ft of swell but a howling 22 mph onshore wind. This setup is more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
Things don’t get any better. Sunday, July 12th morning has a bit more size at 4ft from the NNW, but it’s cross-on, messy, and the energy is moderate (294). The rest of that week into the next is a write-off – small, short period, and always with some kind of onshore or cross-onshore wind.
The single only standout, and I mean the only one that’s even worth a glance, is a couple of mornings where the wind drops out. Thursday, July 16th morning is your best bet. We’ve got a 3ft swell from the WNW with a 9-second period, and the wind is glassy from the WSW at 3 mph. The energy is moderate (105), and the conditions will be clean. It’s tiny, but it’s the only window where you’ll get a clean, glassy ocean to play on. Don’t expect much, but it’s all we’ve got.
Other than that, it’s a long dry spell. Nothing to get excited about, so keep the board waxed and wait for the next forecast.
Rusty.
