The Lowdown
Alright, mate, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Tramandai Pier (Platforma) over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, the first day or two are a write-off. Monday the 3rd is a complete mess with a NE wind putting a chop on the 1 ft to 4 ft of swell. Nothing to get excited about. But then, things get interesting.
The first real standout arrives on Tuesday the 4th of August. We’ve got a 4 ft SSE swell rolling in with a long 11-second period, but the real story is the wind. It goes glassy in the morning, then turns light cross-off in the afternoon. With a combined energy of 417 (moderate), that’s clean, surfable waves. This is your window for a quiet session.
Wednesday the 5th keeps the good times going with a WNW offshore wind on the morning. The swell drops a touch to 3 ft from the SSE, but it’s clean and the energy is still moderate (208). That’s a solid morning session.
Thursday morning the 6th is glassy again, but the swell is down to 2 ft and the energy is weak (111). It’s surfable, but very ordinary. The afternoon is similar.
Friday the 7th through to Sunday the 9th is a mixed bag of wind and chop. The swell picks up a bit, but the conditions are poor. Saturday the 8th afternoon has a 5 ft S swell with a 14-second period and a combined energy of 1596 (strong), but the onshore wind ruins it. It’s a marginal call at best.
The next real standout, and the best of the lot, is Tuesday the 11th of August. The swell jumps to 10 ft to 12 ft from the SSW with a 10-11 second period and the energy is through the roof at 2911 and 4685. The wind is cross-off and clean. Here’s the catch: at that size, this is an expert-only affair. It’s too big for beginners and most intermediates. If you’re skilled and looking for a big, clean wave, this is it.
The morning of Wednesday the 12th is a solid option too. The swell drops to 6 ft from the S, with a 10-second period and a light offshore wind. The energy is still strong (803) and the conditions are clean. That’s a much more manageable size for a good session.
After that, from Thursday the 13th onwards, the forecast gets messy again. Onshore winds return and the swell is wind-affected and choppy. The 5th of August is the pick for the everyday surfer, with Tuesday the 11th being the big-swell expert session. The 11th, however, is nearly two weeks out, so keep an eye on it.
The water temp is about average for this time of year.
Rusty out.
