The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk surf. Rusty here.
This is a tough stretch. The next week and a half is mostly a waste of time. We’ve got a lot of flatness and a few days of barely-surfable slop before a tiny window of hope right at the end.
The only spot we’re looking at is Su Paulo Su (reef), but you’re looking at a long, dry spell to start. From Friday the 17th right through to the morning of Monday the 27th, the surf is tiny, weak, or just plain messy. There’s a weak swell showing on the 22nd with a combined energy of just 27, but the direction is onshore or cross-onshore and the height is barely 2ft. That’s not worth paddling out for.
The water temp is sitting at 81°, which is a solid 5° warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s very unusual. The ocean feels like a warm bath.
The first real chance of anything happens on Monday morning, July 27th. The swell bumps up to 4ft out of the NW, with a period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy hits 196 – that’s moderate, but it’s got some push. The wind is light and offshore from the east, so the morning session will be clean. The catch? It’s still a small, short-period swell, so don’t expect much power. It’s surfable, but very ordinary.
Things look a little better on Tuesday morning, July 28th, with the swell dropping to 3ft but still NW, and the wind shifting NE offshore. The energy is down to 77 though, so it’s weaker. Still, clean conditions are a plus.
The real standout, and the only one I’d call worth getting excited about, is the very tail end of the outlook. Saturday morning, August 1st – the swell is 4ft from the NW, period 6 seconds, and the wind goes glassy from the north. Combined energy is 78. It’s not a bomb, but after two weeks of flat, choppy junk, a clean, glassy morning with a little waist-high wave is a gift. The swell direction is NW, which matches the optimum for this spot, so it’ll wrap in nicely for a reef wave. Just be aware it’s a short period, so the waves will be a bit weak and close together.
Crowds here are only sometimes an issue, so you might have a few friends out, but nothing crazy.
Honestly, if you’re not desperate, I’d wait for that Saturday morning. Everything before it is a struggle.
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.
