Su Paulo Su Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what Su Paulo Su has got cookin' for us over the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, this is a tough stretch. We’re looking at a real dry spell. The first recommendation doesn't show up until Thursday, September 10th. That means from now all the way through Wednesday the 9th, the surf is just not worth paddling out for. You’re looking at tiny, weak waves with poor conditions, or flat spells on the 8th and 9th. It’s a proper lull.

The standout moment of this whole outlook is the morning of Sunday, September 14th. That’s the one to circle on your calendar. We’ve got a solid 12ft swell rolling in from the NW with a period of 9 seconds and a combined wave energy of 2383 – that's some serious grunt. The wind is offshore, blowing from the east, so expect those reef lines to be holding up clean and hollow. This is proper, powerful surf. It's definitely in the "experts only" territory. For the afternoon, it does bump up to 15ft with an 11-second period and a huge 5049 energy reading, but the wind goes cross-onshore, which will mess with the shape. So, get your session in on that Sunday morning before the wind turns.

The other option that could be decent for those with some experience is Thursday, September 10th. In the morning, we get a 6ft NW swell with 8-second period, clean conditions, and an offshore breeze. The combined energy is 403, so it's got some push. That’s a solid, fun size for an intermediate surfer. The afternoon sees it jump to 7ft, but with a cross-onshore wind and risk of thunderstorms, it gets messy. That morning window on the 10th is your best bet if you can't wait for the big Sunday.

Beyond that, there’s a little bump on the 13th with a 5ft swell in the morning that looks clean, but it's not a standout compared to the 14th. The rest of the fortnight is tiny, windy, or flat. Save your energy for the 14th.

Rusty.
