The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a good look at what’s coming up for Tramandai Pier (Platforma).
Right off the bat, it’s a pretty grim start. The first few days are a write-off. Sunday and Monday, the 30th and 31st of August, are just messy – cross-onshore winds, lumpy, choppy, poor conditions. Nothing to get excited about. The swell is there, but the wind is trashing it.
Then things start to turn. Tuesday morning, the 1st of September, is where it gets interesting. The wind swings offshore from the west, only 6 mph, and the surf cleans right up. You’re looking at a clean 7ft of east swell, period around 9 seconds. The combined energy is sitting at 736 (moderate), but the quality is what makes it. That offshore wind is the key. This is a real standout for the period. The water is a bit colder than normal for this time of year at 59°, but that’s a small price to pay for good waves.
Wednesday morning, the 2nd of September, is another solid option. A clean 6ft from the ESE, with a light cross-off breeze. The energy is still decent at 601, and it’s clean. Thursday morning the 3rd has a smaller clean 4ft from the ESE, but it’s a bit weaker. The real magic is Tuesday.
After that, the winds get messy again. There’s a bit of a gap from late Thursday through to the weekend, with poor surf and onshore winds. The 5th of September has a clean 6ft from the south, but it’s a short period and the wind is getting strong – it’s more kite-surfing territory than paddle surfing.
Looking further ahead, the 10th of September (Thursday morning) shows some promise. A clean, moderate offshore wind from the west, with a 5ft swell from the SSE. It’s not huge, but it looks clean. Then Friday morning the 11th of September is a real gem – glassy conditions, 3 mph wind from the west, and a 4ft swell from the SE. It’s small, but glassy. That’s a rare treat.
The last standout is Monday the 14th of September. The morning has a big 8ft swell from the ENE, with a light cross-shore wind. The combined energy is massive at 1776 (strong wave energy). That’s expert territory size-wise, but if you’ve got the skills, it’s going to be a powerful session. The afternoon cleans up again with a 7ft east swell and light cross-off winds.
Overall, the best on offer is Tuesday morning, the 1st of September, with that clean offshore wind and solid 7ft east swell. The glassy Friday morning on the 11th is a close second for the smaller board crew.
