The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let's break down what's coming.

First up, we're in for a bit of a wait. The first real chance for a wave doesn't show up until Sunday the 19th, and it's a mixed bag. The standout for the whole run is that Sunday morning session at Tramandai Pier (Platforma). We're looking at a clean 6ft swell pushing in from the ENE, and with a light N wind keeping it cross-offshore, those waves are going to be holding up nice. The water is sitting at 60°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, so grab the extra wetsuit. The combined energy of all swells is moderate (509), so there's some decent push behind it. That Sunday afternoon, the wind goes glassy, so the waves will be smooth, but the energy drops a touch.

Monday the 20th is a write-off, with onshore wind making a mess of things. Tuesday the 21st morning has a glimmer of hope – glassy conditions again with a 4ft ENE swell (380 energy). It's small, but it'll be clean. Wednesday the 22nd is similar, with a clean morning but a smaller 4ft ENE swell.

Then things get interesting around Thursday the 23rd. We get a bump in size – 7ft from the SSE on Thursday morning, but it's coming with a short 8-second period, so it'll be a bit lumpy and won't have that long, drawn-out feel. That's really only for the experienced crew. The energy is strong at 616, but the quality is just not there.

From Friday the 24th right through the end of the month, it's a tough stretch. Onshore winds, choppy conditions, and generally poor surf. The swell sticks around but the wind just ruins it. The 25th sees a 6ft ENE swell, but with a 12 mph cross-onshore wind, it's a mess. The 31st has a 7ft swell, but it's onshore again and a short period – that's a no-go for paddle surfing, maybe more of a kite day.

Into the first week of August, the pattern doesn't let up. The 1st has a 8ft ENE swell, but again, cross-onshore wind. The energy is high (911), but the quality is poor. The 3rd keeps the onshore flow going.

So, to be honest, the only real highlight is that Sunday morning (19th) session. After that, it's a long stretch of poor conditions with only a few small, clean windows that are worth a paddle, but nothing to get excited about. The blank run from the 20th to the 2nd is a long one. Keep an eye on the forecasts, but for now, it's not looking like a classic run.

Rusty.
