Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break down the same outlook for Santa Maria de Oia, but in imperial.
It’s a slow period for this reef. The water’s running about 63°F, which is a little cooler than the July norm – about a degree and a half off.
First week is a total wash. Tuesday the 7th sees 1ft to 2ft of weak, onshore wind-affected slop. Wednesday the 8th is similar. Thursday the 9th morning gives us the first slim chance – a glassy, light SW wind with the swell at about 2ft from the WNW, 9-second period, and weak energy (91). It’s knee-high and ordinary, not worth rushing for.
Friday the 10th morning cleans up a bit with a light cross-offshore SSW wind, swell at 3ft (WNW, 9 secs), energy at 108 – still weak to moderate. Saturday the 11th morning is glassy again with a WSW breeze, and we get a 2ft NW groundswell with a longer 11-second period and energy climbing to 149. That’s the best combo of the entire outlook – clean, with a touch of push – but the size is tiny.
From there, it goes flat and choppy for days. Thursday the 16th morning finally shows a pulse: a clean, cross-offshore wind from the SW, and swell at 3ft from the W, 8 seconds, energy at 121 (moderate). That’s the most size of the whole run, and it’s clean. For an experienced surfer on a log or mid-length, that could give a few fun runners.
After the 16th, it’s back to small, onshore chop through the 22nd. Crowds are a possibility here, but with this little action, you won’t be fighting anyone.
Nothing to get excited about. If you’re set on a paddle, Thursday the 16th morning is your window. Otherwise, keep the wax in the wrapper.
Rusty.
