Table - best surf conditions forecast for Tramandai Pier (Platforma) over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break it down for Tramandai in feet and Fahrenheit.
First, the water temp is about average for this time of year – nothing wild. The next few days are just okay; we have some swell but conditions are mixed, so don’t expect a classic.
Sunday the 12th: clean 3ft ESE swell but with a southwest wind blowing cross-offshore – makes it a bit of a chore. Energy is moderate (621). You can still get waves, but they won’t be epic. Sunday arvo picks up to 5ft from the south, still clean but still just marginal. Monday the 13th: 4ft to 4ft SSE swell with light breezes – surfable but the break is inconsistent, so don’t plan the day around it.
Tuesday the 14th is trash – onshore wind and lumpy junk. Swell hits 7ft but it’s cross-on and choppy. Wednesday and Thursday are poor: small, weak, and onshore or cross-shore.
Friday morning July 17th is where it gets real. Glassy 7ft ENE swell with a 5 km/h WNW breeze – dead calm. Energy is solid (694), and the conditions are excellent. That’s a standout – clean, punchy, just the right size. Crowds are possible at Tramandai Pier (Platforma), so get out early.
Saturday the 18th fades with cross-shore wind and messy 6ft ENE swell. Not worth it. Sunday the 19th morning is flat, but the arvo gives a late 5ft ENE swell with cross-off wind – clean but inconsistent.
Next highlight: Tuesday morning July 21st – glassy 5ft ENE swell, no wind, clean as a whistle. Energy moderate (359). Good surf.
Then Wednesday morning July 22nd – another glassy one: 6ft E swell with 5 km/h east breeze. Energy moderate (463). Clean, fun waves.
After that, it fades until Sunday July 26th. Sunday morning and arvo both have near-glass conditions (5 km/h SW and W) with a 8ft to 8ft ESE swell. Energy jumps to strong (1295–1302). Wave comment says “excellent for experienced surfers.” That’s powerful, clean, but short-period (7 sec) – dumpy and punchy. This is the standout of the whole outlook, but it’s over a week away – promising, but not a guarantee.
Monday the 27th: 12ft SE swell with clean wind – too big for this spot unless you’re an expert.
Best bets: Friday morning July 17th and Sunday July 26th – both glassy with solid energy. The rest is average or junk.
Rusty.
