The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with it – the next two weeks are looking pretty grim for a proper surf. For this Su Paulo Su reef setup, we’ve got a long, dry stretch with barely a ripple to get excited about. The water temp is sitting about average for this time of year, nothing wild there.
Right now, Thursday morning the 30th is almost flat – a tiny 0.7 ft from the NNW with a short period of 3 seconds and weak combined swell energy (1). Glassy, sure, but that’s not surf. The whole first week is a write-off, with near-flat conditions and cross-onshore winds mushing into the afternoon. Friday, Saturday, Sunday – all the same story: tiny lumps, 0.7 ft to 1 ft, and weak energy. There’s a gap of several days with no real recommendation.
Then we get a bit of a tease. On Wednesday morning the 5th of August, we finally see a small pulse – 1 ft from the WSW, period lifting to 7 seconds, and combined energy at 50. Glassy conditions too. That’s surfable but very ordinary. The morning of Thursday the 6th of August is similar – 3 ft from the NW, period at 7 seconds, energy 70, and glassy again. Clean, but small. For a reef that’s consistent and exposed to NW swell, this is frustratingly weak.
The standout – if you can call it that – comes on Tuesday the 11th of August. The morning brings 6 ft from the NW, period 7 seconds, and combined energy at 278. It’s marginal, with light cross-onshore breeze, but it’s the most size we’ve seen. The afternoon jumps to 8 ft from the NW, period 9 seconds, and energy hits 1017 – moderate to strong energy. That’s punchy, but it’s cross-shore wind creating a cross-chop, so it won’t be clean. For experts only at that size, and the short period means it’ll be dumpy and hard to read on this reef. Not a classic day, but it’s the only real swell window in the whole 16 days.
After that, Wednesday to Friday drops back to tiny, lumpy junk with strong onshore winds. Honestly, it’s a bleak run. The first week is dead, the second week has a single day of power but messy conditions. For kite surfers, the Tuesday afternoon blow might look fun with that 16 mph cross wind, but for paddle surfing? Hard pass.
Keep the board waxed and wait for the next proper forecast. This one’s a dud.

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.
Su Paulo Su is 17 km (11 miles) from Oristano. If you plan a holiday in Sardinia, look for hotels and other accommodation in Oristano. Oristano has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
