The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let’s talk about what’s on the menu for Tramandai.
The first half of the 16-day window is a real mixed bag, with a lot of wind and chop to work through. We’ve got a few windows that look promising, but you’ll have to be patient. The best bet is sitting a full two weeks out, so keep that in mind.
We start off with nothing to write home about. The first couple of days are a write-off. Saturday the 1st and Sunday morning the 2nd are small and ugly, so leave the board in the car. Sunday afternoon the 2nd sees a bit of a pulse, but it’s onshore and messy. Not worth it.
The first real glimmer comes on Tuesday the 4th. Tramandai Pier (Platforma) is looking at a clean session. Swell is around 3ft from the SSE with an 11-second period – that’s some proper groundswell energy. The wind is light and cross-off, making for clean lines. The combined energy is moderate (331). It’s not a bomb, but it’s surfable and tidy. Keep in mind the water temp is about 63°, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so a spring suit is fine.
The next standout is a bit of a long-range call, but it’s worth circling on the calendar. Saturday the 15th and into Sunday the 16th, we’ve got a solid push of swell. Saturday morning sees 7ft from the SSE with clean conditions – cross-off wind and light air. The combined energy jumps to 708 (strong), and the period is a punchy 9 seconds. This is more of a short-period swell, so it’ll be a bit more full-on and less forgiving. This size is getting into expert territory, so if you’re not confident, maybe sit this one out. Sunday the 16th is a drop-off, but still clean.
That Saturday the 15th is the pick of the bunch. The swell is up, the wind is right, and the waves will have some push. It’s a shame the spot is exposed and can be inconsistent, but when it’s on, it’s on. Crowds are possible, so get in early.
Overall, the first week is a lot of waiting, but the second week has a proper pulse. Don’t get too excited about the smaller days; the 15th is the one to aim for. Keep an eye on the forecasts, but as it stands, that’s the only real standout.
Rusty.
