The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks around Tramandai Pier (Platforma).
Right now, the water temp is sittin’ at 61°F, which is just a hair cooler than average for this time of year, nothing mad.
The next few days are a bit of a write-off, to be honest. We’ve got a solid gap of poor surf from Friday 14 August right through the weekend. The swell is there, but the wind is a mess – strong cross-onshore making it choppy and lumpy. Not worth paddling out for.
The first real sign of life shows up on Monday morning, 17 August. We’ve got a 8ft swell from the ENE with a 9-second period, and a light N wind makin’ it clean. The combined energy is moderate (1182), but the wave comment says it’s excellent for experienced surfers. That’s our first standout. The crowd factor is “sometimes,” so you might bump into a few others, but it’s well worth a session.
Tuesday 18 August and Wednesday 19 August keep things tickin’ over with cleaner conditions, though the swell drops to 5ft and 4ft respectively. Tuesday afternoon actually goes glassy, which is a treat. These are good, solid, surfable days.
Then we hit another dry spell from Thursday 20 August through to Friday 21 August. The swell drops right off – down to 2ft – and the energy is weak (153). It’s just not enough to get excited about.
Saturday 22 August picks up again with a 6ft SSW swell, but the wind is cross-off and the quality is only marginal. There’s a better window on Sunday 23 August morning: a 7ft S swell with a 12-second period, offshore wind, and clean conditions. That’s a proper groundswell and the energy is strong (1331). This is a standout for more experienced surfers.
Now, Monday 24 August morning is a big one – a 10ft S swell, 12-second period, glassy conditions, and the combined energy is massive (4231). The wave comment says it’s too big for this break. That’s expert territory only, and even then, it might be a handful. The same goes for Wednesday 26 August afternoon and Thursday 27 August – more big swells, over 8ft, and the break can’t handle it. Given the beach/pier setup, this could be more interesting for kite survival than paddle surfing.
After that, from Friday 28 August onwards, the swell drops and the wind turns nasty again. The last few days of the forecast are pretty poor.
So, if you’re pickin’ your moment, Monday 17 August morning is the first real standout. Sunday 23 August morning is your second best bet. Just keep an eye on the crowds and remember, the long-range stuff is always a bit less certain, but it’s lookin’ promising.
Rusty.
