The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here, and I’ve gotta be straight with you – this 16-day outlook for Su Paulo Su is a tough one. There’s not a single session in the whole run that’s worth paddling out for. The guidance and forecasts are all showing “poor surf conditions,” and the scores are zero across the board. It’s a flat spell, plain and simple.
Starting from now, the first few days are a write-off. Thursday the 16th sees a tiny 0.3ft ripple from the west, with a weak cross-shore breeze and combined wave energy of just 1 – that’s next to nothing. Friday the 17th and Saturday the 18th aren’t any better, with 1ft and 0.7ft slop, respectively. The wind is clean at times, but there’s nothing to ride.
We roll into Sunday the 19th and Monday the 20th, and still, the swell is barely a pulse. Sunday morning has 1ft from the NW with a period of 6 seconds, and the energy is only 15 – weak. The offshore wind from the east is nice, but it’s like ironing a flat table. Monday afternoon sees a bit more size at 2ft, but the period drops to 3 seconds, meaning it’s windswash.
Tuesday the 21st is glassy in the morning, but the swell is only 0.7ft – you’d be bobbing. Wednesday the 22nd morning is the closest we get to something interesting: 2ft from the NW with a 6-second period, glassy conditions, and combined energy of 39. That’s the best of the first week, but it’s still a knee-high dribble. The water temperature is running at 80°, which is almost 5° warmer than normal for this time of year – very unusual.
The second week doesn’t bring salvation. Thursday the 23rd and Friday the 24th show a slight bump: Friday the 24th morning has 4ft from the NNW with a 7-second period and combined energy of 259 – that’s moderate energy. But the wind is a fresh cross-shore at 18 mph, creating lumpy cross-chop, and the surf quality is still rated poor. That’s the only remotely surfable swell window, but it’s messy. After that, it drops back to flat, with 2ft or less from Saturday the 25th right through to the end of the month.
This is a dead run for Su Paulo Su. The reef needs a proper groundswell to come alive, and we’re just not getting it. Keep an eye on the forecasts – sometimes a long-range puff can show up, but for now, leave the board in the garage.
Rusty.

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