The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s be real—this 16-day stretch is a tough go for us surfers, but there’s a sliver of hope if you’re patient.
The only break on the menu is Su Paulo Su, a reef setup that’s wide open to the NW. Starting Saturday, August 15th, we’re in a flat spell—0.7ft from the NNW with a 3-second period and laughable energy (1). Don’t even wax your board. That flatness carries through Sunday and Monday, with glassy mornings but zero surf. Water temp’s 84°, which is about 5° warmer than normal—feels like a hot tub, but the waves are missing.
Then Tuesday the 18th brings a pulse: 6ft from the NW, 7-second period, and moderate energy (318). That’s a real swell, but the wind’s a nasty cross-onshore at 19 mph, turning it lumpy and messy. This is expert-only if you’re game, but honestly, it’s better suited for kite-surfing—too blown out for a paddle.
The standout—and I mean the only bright spot—is Wednesday morning, August 19th. The swell drops to 3ft from the NW (7-second period, weak energy at 73), but the wind goes glassy, ENE at 3 mph. That reef will be clean and rideable. It’s not big, but the conditions will be pure. This break is consistent, and with offshore light winds, it’ll be fun for intermediates. Crowds might roll in, so expect some company.
After that, it’s back to junk. Thursday and Friday the 20-21st are tiny and weak. Saturday the 22nd sees another pulse—3ft to 4ft from the NW (7-8 seconds, energy up to 180)—but the wind’s cross or cross-onshore again, wrecking the shape. Sunday the 23rd morning gives a small window of clean 3ft surf with light offshore wind, but it’s ordinary.
The second week is mostly a wash. Monday the 24th through Wednesday the 26th have small swells but brutal winds—on the 26th, we’re talking 28-31 mph cross-onshore gales with 4ft to 5ft of messy chop. Not worth it. Thursday and Friday the 27-28th have 4ft to 5ft from the NW, but again, cross-onshore or strong cross-shore winds keep it lumpy. The final weekend, August 29-30, fades back to flatness.
So, here’s the call: if you want the best, aim for Wednesday morning, August 19th at Su Paulo Su. It’s the only clean, glassy option in this whole stretch. Everything else is wind-blown or flat. Rough run, mate.
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.

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.
