The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what Su Paulo Su has got cookin' for us. Gotta be straight with you, it's a bit of a slow burn this time around.
We're starting off with a few days of tiny, weak energy. Wednesday the 19th has the best of a pretty flat period, with a clean 3ft NW swell rolling in on a cross-offshore breeze. The energy's pretty low at 96, so don't expect much push, but it'll be the cleanest waves of the first week. The water temp is about average for this time of year.
After that, the swell drops right off. We're looking at a solid gap of several days where conditions are flat or just messy. From Thursday the 20th right through to the morning of Friday the 28th, it's mostly knee-high dribble or onshore chop. The few times the wave comment says "surfable," the energy is still weak – mostly under 100 – and the wind is never really on our side. It's a long stretch of poor conditions.
Then, out of nowhere, Friday morning the 28th is our standout. We see a jump to a 6ft NW swell with a moderate energy reading of 393, and it's clean with a cross-offshore breeze. That's a big jump in size and power. Keep in mind, 6ft is getting solid, so this one's more for the experienced crew. That afternoon the wind swings around and gets howling at 19 mph from the NNW, turning it to chop, so the morning session is the only window.
Saturday the 29th morning cleans up again with a nice 4ft NW swell on an offshore breeze, energy at 148. It's not as big as Friday, but it'll be a fun, clean wave for intermediate surfers. After that, the swell fades back into nothing.
So, to keep it short: your best bet is Friday morning the 28th for size and power, or Saturday the 29th morning for a cleaner, more manageable wave. The rest is a waiting game.
Rusty.
