The Lowdown
Alright mate, Rusty here. Let’s break it down.
First up, we’re in for a long dry spell. From Wednesday 12th August right through to about Wednesday 19th, there’s nothing worth paddling out for. Tiny, gutless swell, short periods, and cross-onshore winds making a mess of things. The water temp is sitting at 83°F, which is a solid 5°F warmer than usual for this time of year, so you’ll be sweating in your spring suit.
The first real chance comes Thursday 20th August morning at Su Paulo Su. A small 3ft swell from the northwest with a 6-second period – weak energy, only 59 on the combined scale. Winds are light offshore from the ENE, so it’ll be glassy, but the waves are just “surfable but very ordinary.” Not much to write home about.
Things stay quiet through the end of that week. Sunday 23rd August morning offers a 3ft northwest swell, 7-second period, and a clean offshore breeze from the ENE. Combined energy is 91 – still weak. Again, just “surfable but very ordinary.”
Then, on Wednesday 26th August afternoon, it finally gets interesting. The swell jumps to 12ft from the northwest, with a 10-second period – that’s real groundswell energy. Combined energy hits 2482, so there’s serious power. But the wind is cross-onshore from the WNW at 12 mph, and the forecast calls it “marginal surf forecast or questionable tide conditions.” This is big stuff – over 8ft, so it’s expert-only. The period is long enough to wrap around the reef, but it’s going to be a fight.
Thursday 27th August morning sees the peak: 13ft from the northwest, 10-second period, and a combined energy of 6307. Massive. But again, cross-onshore wind from the NW at 12 mph, and “poor surf conditions.” The afternoon drops to 10ft from the WNW with an 11-second period (longer, more powerful), but still cross-onshore and messy. If you’re an experienced charger and don’t mind a bit of chop, there could be some serious waves out there, but it’s not going to be clean.
The standout window, if you’re patient, is Wednesday 26th afternoon through Thursday 27th. The swell is huge, the direction is northwest – which is spot-on for Su Paulo Su – and the period is solid. But the wind is a letdown, and the conditions are marginal. For the experts willing to battle, it’s your best shot. Otherwise, this forecast is a long, slow wait.
Rusty.
