The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s run through the same deal for Tramandai Pier (Platforma), but in feet and miles per hour.
Right off the bat, the start is rough. Saturday morning you’ve got an 8ft swell from the ENE, but a strong 22 mph cross-onshore wind is ruining it. The combined swell energy is 857 (moderate), but it’s just lumpy trash. Saturday and Sunday get worse, really. The swell pushes to 10ft, still cross-on, choppy. The energy hits 1267 on Sunday afternoon, which is strong, but it’s not for paddling—that’s kite territory.
The first real chance comes Monday, August 17. The wind goes glassy, just 3 mph from the NNW. Swell is 8ft from the ENE with a 9-second period, and the energy is 961 (moderate). That’s the cleanest it’ll be in the first week. 8ft is getting big for most, so only the experienced crew should be out there. Water temp is 61°, about normal for the time of year, so a good wetsuit is fine.
The middle of the week is smaller. Tuesday and Wednesday mornings are cleaner with light offshore winds, but the swell drops to about 4-5ft. Energy falls to 310-334 (weak to moderate). It’s rideable, but small. By Thursday and Friday, the onshores are back, so not much happening.
Now for the real standout: Sunday, August 23. The morning brings 8ft from the south with an 11-second period—groundswell. The energy jumps to 1419 (strong). Winds are a clean cross-off at 16 mph. That’s a proper swell for the pier, and it should offer some solid waves. The afternoon is similar at 7ft. This is the highlight of the whole 16-day outlook.
Monday the 24th is still okay with 5ft south swell and light offshore winds, clean but smaller. After that, the onshores park themselves on the coast again and the quality drops off fast into the end of the month.
Remember, Tramandai is inconsistent, so on a good day it might draw a crowd. If you can get out there for that Sunday, it could be well worth the wait.
Rusty.
