The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for Tramandai. It’s a bit of a slow start, but there are a couple of windows that’ll get you out of the house.

We’re looking at Tramandai Pier (Platforma) down here. The water is sitting at 59°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year – a solid 3° chillier than average, so don’t forget the booties if you’re sensitive to it.

The first real chance to get wet kicks off on Friday, August 28th in the morning. We’ve got a clean 6 ft swell out of the ENE with a moderate 9-second period. The wind is a light cross-offshore from the SW, which is going to leave the surface pretty clean. The combined energy is moderate at 643, so there’s some push behind it. It’s not massive, but it’s rideable and tidy. That afternoon, the wind swings south and goes cross-shore, and the quality drops off fast, so make the most of the morning window.

Saturday the 29th and Sunday the 30th look pretty ordinary. The swell drops to 4 ft – 4 ft, and the wind is onshore or on it from the ESE, making for messy, choppy conditions. Not worth paddling out for.

Monday the 31st sees a bump in size to 7 ft – 7 ft from the E, but the wind is straight onshore and it’s a bit of a washing machine. The energy climbs to 514, but it’s not going to be a fun paddle.

Tuesday, September 1st is interesting. The size jumps to 8 ft – 8 ft out of the S, with a period of 8 to 9 seconds. The wind is a strong cross-offshore from the WSW at 19 mph, so the faces will be clean. The combined energy hits 894 in the morning and blows past 1111 in the afternoon – that’s strong wave energy. This is getting into the "experts only" territory at over 8 ft, and it’s a beach/pier setup, so it’s going to be powerful and a bit unruly. If you’re an experienced local, the morning could be a classic session, but this is not for beginners.

Wednesday, September 2nd is your standout window. The morning brings a clean 7 ft swell from the SSE with a 10-second period, which is a nice, punchy groundswell. The wind is light cross-offshore from the W at 6 mph, so it’s going to be glassy. The combined energy is a solid 831, meaning nice, powerful lines. This is the best-looking session of the whole forecast – good size, good direction, and clean conditions. Crowds are possible here (it’s listed as "sometimes"), so you might have some company, but the quality will be worth it.

After Wednesday, the surf dribbles away. The 3rd and 4th of September drop down to 6 ft and then 2 ft, with poor wind. The 5th and 6th are small and messy. From the 7th to the 10th, we get a mix of onshore and cross-shore winds, with sizes around 5 ft to 6 ft, but the quality is poor to marginal. There’s a big gap of average days here.

Friday, September 11th offers another surprise. The morning is glassy with a 5 ft swell from the S. The wind is listed as "glass" – dead calm from the NNE. That’s going to be a beautiful, clean morning with fun little waves. The combined energy is high at 772, so there’s surprising power for the size. This is a great second option if you missed the Wednesday window.

Saturday, September 12th morning is also glassy, but the swell is smaller at 4 ft out of the S. Still, if you’re itching for a paddle, you can get a few clean ones.

Bottom line: The best bet is the morning of Wednesday, September 2nd – 7 ft, clean, SSE groundswell. The second pick is the morning of Friday, September 11th – glassy, punchy 5 ft. For the rest, it’s mostly a waiting game.

Rusty.
