Table - best surf conditions forecast for Tramandai Pier (Platforma) over the next 16 days.
The Lowdown
Alright, let me break down what's happening at Tramandai Pier. The water's 63°F, which is dead average for this time of the year, nothing strange there.
First up, the early part is a slow burner. Saturday the 22nd has some swell—about 7ft from the south—but the wind is side-offshore and the conditions are just marginal. The combined wave energy is moderate (723). It's not terrible, but it ain't the highlight.
Sunday the 23rd morning is the real deal. You've got a 7ft south swell with a 12-second period and clean offshore wind from the west. The energy is strong at 1370. The forecast rates it excellent for experienced surfers. Anything over 5ft starts pushing the beginners out, and at 7ft, it's for the crew who know what they're doing. Crowds can be around sometimes, so be ready for company.
Monday the 24th morning is the other big standout. The swell is a touch bigger at 8ft from the south, with a very long period of 14 seconds (real groundswell), pumping the energy up to 2570. The wind is almost glassy out of the southwest. This one is all about power and better-shaped waves, but it's strictly for experts, and the long period will make the sets roll through with plenty of push.
From Tuesday the 25th onward, the wind turns onshore or cross-onshore, and things get choppy and messy for days. Friday the 28th morning offers a quick breather with light offshore wind and 6ft swell, but the period is short and the energy is weak (513), so it’s just a fun-size session, nothing special.
The second week is a total washout. From September 1st onward, it's small, blown out, or both. There's a day with strong offshore wind, but the swell is tiny and all over the place. By September 6th, the swell is a massive 12ft from the east, but that's just way too big for this break—expert only, and even then, the wind makes it a no-go.
So, the call is easy. Sunday the 23rd morning is your best bet. Monday the 24th morning is the other good window, but it's a heavy groundswell for experts only. The rest is a long stretch of poor conditions.
