Su Paulo Su Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s break it down in feet and Fahrenheit.

Honestly, it's a grim run for Su Paulo Su. We’re looking at over two weeks here, and most of it is flat or junk. The water is sitting at 78°F, which is a solid 4° warmer than usual for this time of year – that's seriously warm, you'll be in boardies for sure.

There’s a long gap of nothing worthwhile starting now. Tuesday the 7th through nearly the end of the third week is a total write-off. Tiny waves, poor conditions, and a whole lot of nothing. We have a few mornings with clean, glassy water but absolutely no swell – like the 13th July morning and the 14th July morning, totally flat. There’s a little tickle of energy on the 17th July morning with a 2ft NW swell, a short 7 second period, and weak energy (37), but it is glassy and clean. Still, not enough to get excited about.

Now, the one true standout, and it’s a long way off, is Tuesday the 21st of July. The morning session is the pick of the entire forecast. We’ve got a clean, glassy start with a 5ft NW groundswell rolling in with an 8 second period. The combined energy jumps up to 277, which is moderate, and the wind is a glassy offshore from the ESE at just 3 mph. That’s going to be the cleanest, most rideable wave we’ve seen in weeks. It’s still a reef break, exposed to that NW swell, and the optimum direction is from the NW, so it’s a perfect match. It’s only an intermediate level break, but with that swell size, it’s manageable for those with some experience. The afternoon does get a bit lumpy with a NNW cross-breeze, so the morning window is your only real shot.

Given how consistent this spot normally is, this long flat spell is a real bummer, but forecasts can change. For now, circle the 21st July morning on your calendar. That’s the one.
