The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
We’re starting off slow, real slow. There’s a bit of a gap in the action before anything really worth paddling out for arrives. The first few days are pretty flat and messy, so don’t bother checking the cam until later in the week.
The first real hope comes on Saturday, August 8th. After a morning of lumpy, messy cross-shore wind, the afternoon cleans right up. The wind swings around to a light offshore from the WNW, and we’ve got a solid 6ft swell from the SSE wrapping in with a 13-second period. The combined energy is strong (1534), so this is for experienced crew only – that’s proper groundswell, and at this size, it’s not for the faint-hearted. The swell direction is a good match for the exposed setup at Tramandai Pier (Platforma). This is the standout of the whole forecast, so if you’ve got the skills, be on it.
The waves ease off a bit on Sunday, August 9th morning, with a clean 4ft SSE swell (510 energy) and a cross-offshore breeze, making for a much more manageable session. It’s a good follow-up day.
Then there’s another lull of messy, onshore wind and poor conditions through the middle of the week. The next big moment is Thursday, August 13th. The morning brings a 7ft easterly swell with a very short period of 7 seconds – it’s got energy (654), but it’s a bit of a windswell. The afternoon is the real treat: the wind drops to absolute glass, dead calm, and the swell picks up to 8ft from the ENE. The combined energy is pumping (1272). This is heavy, powerful surf, and it’s going to be a lot of fun for the experts. It’s also a rare, inconsistent break, so you don’t want to miss it when it’s this good.
Friday, August 14th morning keeps the quality going with a clean 5ft SSE groundswell (1282 energy) and light offshore wind. The water temp is about what you’d expect for this time of year, nothing unusual.
The second week looks less reliable, with a lot of onshore wind and lumpy conditions. That Thursday afternoon glass-off on the 13th is the one to circle. Promising, but a long way out.
Stay safe, and I’ll see you in the water.
Rusty.
