The Lowdown
Alright, mate, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer.
Look, I’m not gonna sugarcoat it – the next week and a half is pretty grim for Su Paulo Su. This reef break is a consistent spot, but it’s going to be a long, quiet wait. The water is sitting at 82°F, which is about 4°F warmer than usual for this time of year – proper tropical, feels much warmer than normal. But the ocean isn’t delivering. From Thursday the 27th of August right through to the morning of Monday the 7th of September, there’s basically nothing worth paddling out for. Swell heights barely tickle 3 ft, with weak energy readings (mostly under 100, often single digits), and the wind is all over the shop – cross-off here, cross-on there. It’s a blank run, plain and simple.
Then, finally, on Tuesday the 8th of September, the ocean wakes up. Morning brings a 6 ft swell from the NW, period of 7 seconds, with glassy conditions and a light ESE breeze. The combined energy hits 315 – moderate, but it’s building. This is the first proper sign of life.
But the real standout? That’s Wednesday the 9th of September. Morning session is the one. A solid 10 ft NW swell with a 9-second period, ESE wind at just 3 mph blowing cross-off, keeping the reef clean. The combined energy is a meaty 1337 – strong, powerful. This is excellent surf, but it’s big. Over 8 ft means it’s for experts only. The long 9-second period gives it good shape and punch, and with the offshore wind, it’ll be lined up nicely. If you’ve got the skills, this is the morning to charge.
The NW direction is actually the optimum for this spot, so the swell is hitting right. After Wednesday, the size drops back, but Friday the 11th of September morning shows another pulse: 8 ft from the NW, 9-second period, light SE wind at 3 mph, cross-off, and clean. Combined energy of 1024 – strong again. Another expert session, but it’s a good one. Afternoons tend to get messy with onshore winds, so stick to the mornings.
So, to wrap it up: the first 11 days are a write-off. Then Tuesday the 8th is a warm-up, Wednesday the 9th is the big day for the experienced crew, and Friday the 11th is a solid follow-up. Get in the water early, because the wind changes in the arvo.
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.
