Alright, folks, Rusty here. We’ve got a mixed bag ahead at Santinho, but there are a couple of windows that’ll get your blood pumping. The water’s sitting at a chilly 61°, which is a whopping 6° colder than normal for this time of year – that’s seriously unusual, so you’ll want a decent steamer.
The best of the early run is hands-down Sunday the 12th, on the morning. We’re looking at a clean 5ft swell from the ESE with a period of 12 seconds. That’s a nice groundswell, with moderate energy humming in at 763. Winds are glassy-light from the WSW, so it’s going to be smooth as butter. This is the standout for the first week – get on it.
Things get a bit messy from Sunday afternoon onwards with shifting southerly winds and lumpy conditions. But don’t write the whole week off. Friday the 17th morning sees a return to clean, 5ft waves from the ENE (366 energy) under light NW winds. Then Saturday the 18th morning is also clean with 5ft ENE swell. Solid, fun waves.
Now, looking further out, there’s a nice pulse building for Thursday the 24th morning. That’s over a week away, so we’re in long-range territory, but it’s looking promising. We’ve got a clean 4ft swell from the SSE with a very long period of 14 seconds – that’s serious groundswell energy, 779 to be exact. This kind of long period will really wrap in and offer some power, but it might close out a bit at a beach break like this. Still, with glassy conditions, it’s a major contender.
A heads up for Saturday the 25th: the swell is forecast to pump up to 8ft from the S. That’s expert territory, and the model’s even saying it might be too big for this break, with messy cross-shore winds. Only for the very brave, and even then, maybe not.
So, to sum it up: Sunday morning 12th is your early winner. Friday morning 17th and Saturday morning 18th are solid follow-ups. And keep an eye on that long-period swell for Thursday 24th – if it holds, it’ll be the one to talk about.
Stay wet, stay stoked.
Rusty.

Information about the Santinho Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Santinho provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Santinho can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Santinho 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 (Santinho) 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 Santinho 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.
