The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, checking the outlook for Tramandai Pier (Platforma).
The first part of the stretch is a bust. We’ve got choppy, weak conditions with cross-onshore winds and poor surf through the start of the week. The swell energy is light to moderate, and the water is running at 14° – that’s a solid 3° colder than usual, so you’ll be needing a thick suit.
The first real chance is on Sunday, July 19 morning. The wind goes offshore from the NW at 15 km/h, cleaning up a 6ft ENE swell with a 9-second period. The combined energy is moderate (518), and it’ll be clean. That’s your best bet for the first week – not huge, but with offshore wind, it’ll be fun.
After that, it’s back to messy, small surf with cross-onshore winds. The next big one comes on Monday, July 27 afternoon. The wind switches to a light cross-off from the N at 10 km/h, and we get a solid 8ft E swell at 8 seconds. That’s a punchy, moderate-strong swell (combined energy of 912), and the clean conditions will make it very good. This one’s for the experts – 8ft is too big for beginners.
The following days keep the size but add cross-onshore winds and chop, so it’s not as crisp. The swell energy stays strong (1007 on Tuesday morning), but the wind is the problem.
So, for the best surf: hit July 19 morning for a clean, smaller session, and July 27 afternoon for a bigger, cleaner, expert-only wave. The rest is mostly average to poor.
Rusty.
