The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here. Let’s get into the outlook for Su Paulo Su.
Honestly, the next week and a half looks pretty grim. We’ve got a long, flat spell coming up. The first little pulse on Friday morning, August 21st, is a feeble 0.9m swell from the WSW with a period of just 7 seconds and weak energy (86). It’s not worth paddling out for.
You’re looking at a big gap from around Monday, August 24th, all the way through the end of the month where the combined energy drops to basically nothing – single digits and zeros. It’s going to be a frustrating, flat week on the water. The water temp is about normal for this time of year.
Now, the one that’s got my attention is the morning of Friday, September 4th. That’s the day to wait for. We’re talking a solid 6ft swell from the NW, with a good energy reading of 246 (moderate wave energy) and a period of 6 seconds. The wind is offshore from the E at 10 km/h, so it’s going to be glassy clean. The forecast says expect good surf, and I’m buying it. That’s a fun size, but it’s getting big for the groms. Being a reef break, it’ll handle that swell really well.
The next morning, Saturday, September 5th, is a decent backup. You’ve got a 4ft NW swell with clean conditions and a cross-off breeze. The energy drops back to 74 (weak), so it won’t have the same punch as the day before.
For the rest of the run, it’s mostly tiny, short-period junk with onshore or cross-shore winds. A few mornings, like Sunday, August 23rd, show a clean 2ft from the NW, but it’s just too small to get excited about. The surf is just not there.
So, the long and short of it: the first week is a total bust. The only real standout is that Friday, September 4th morning session. It’s a long way out, but that’s the one to pin your hopes on.
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.
