The Lowdown
Alright, I'm looking at the forecast for Son Serra Nova and, mate, it's a tough one. This reef setup, which usually needs something from the north-northeast to really light up, is going through a flat and frustrating period. The water's sitting at a very warm 82°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – you'd be in boardies for sure, but you'll be floating around more than surfing.
For the next week and a half, there's just nothing on the cards. We're looking at tiny, weak swell that barely breaks 2ft, with periods so short – 3-6 seconds – they don't carry any power. Most days the wind is either cross or onshore from the north, chopping up the weak, tiny lumps. There's a killer glassy morning on Sunday the 19th and again on Monday the 20th, but the swell is so small (0.7ft) it's practically a lake. We just have to sit tight.
The first real spark of hope doesn't show up until much later. On Sunday the 26th of July, a clean, gentle offshore from the south-southwest blows all morning. The swell starts to fill in better later that morning, reaching 2ft from the north-northeast, with a combined energy of (25). It's still small for most, but the offshore wind will make it the cleanest it's been. The session to really keep an eye on, though, is Saturday the 25th of July in the afternoon. We get a bigger push of 4ft from the north-northeast (77 energy) and a clean, cross-offshore breeze from the south-southeast. That's the standout of the entire 16-day window – the only time the size, direction, and wind line up for a proper session. Expect a few others to sniff it out, as the crowds are listed as "sometimes" here.
Other than that, the late forecast shows a few pulses of north-northeast swell in the final week, like Tuesday the 28th afternoon with 4ft and 121 energy, but it's onshore wind from the north-northeast again. The potential is there, but the conditions look messy. For now, just wait for that Saturday the 25th afternoon window.
